learning Art

Did some shapes and doodles, also trying Proko's Mario mushroom exercise to practice elipses

I haven't posted for a few day, I wasn't really happy with my progress in gesture drawing. I tried out a few different approaches and I feel the best about these ones, I just hope this is not completely wrong.

tried a different approach to the gestures, going to play around with this way a bit. also still 60 second poses

I'm still struggling with gestures and it shows with the 60 sec poses. I'm hoping for something to click.

I'm doing 60 seconds poses now and I'm trying to memorize this proportion chart.

I copied another character, the original is a sketch from Horikoshi

Some pen control exercise. My pen control is horrible.

Still trying to experiment tryong to get 30 second poses that I'm satisfied with. Also Hands are very hard, even just copying them.

I definitely think I'm missing something, something that has yet to click. I have enormous issues with the pelvis and ripcage, but maybe I just worry too much about this. I'm just not happy how all of these turn out. I know I'm only doing for a week now, but I don't really feel like I'm improving, I just feel something should click.

Tried to copy another drawing. My study plan tells me to copy the lineart of 5 characters, but I'm not sure if I'm doing this right or if I'm missing something.
