Check and Log

Have you managed to make a complete statment in this time?  What were your main problems?

I think I did manage to make a complete statement in the quick poses and the longer pose.  I did find it difficult to work fast though.  I tend to start by drawing the head, which is why I believe I lost the feet in a couple of the first drawings and shall try to draw from the middle in future to see if this helps.

How well have you captured the characteristics of the pose?

I think I have captured the characteristics of the different poses drawn. 

Do the proportions look right?  If not, how will you try to improve this?

I think the proportions look believable.  It didn't come naturally to me to establish a unit of measurement at the beginning of the drawing, particularly where we were asked to do quick drawings. But if I did only check at the proportions near the end or after the drawing was done, I was encouraged that I had achieved the '7 heads' theory.  It means I can achieve a well proportioned drawing by eye.
