I see that you have already acquired a good sense of three-dimensionality in what we call "construction", but I still feel that it lacks movement (gesture) and a little more basic anatomy. Box mannequins are great for viewing perspective but end up making the figures too hard and stuck, Steve Huston always says "try to choose simple yet characteristic shapes" so your mannequins will be as close as possible to the real human figure.I appreciate both of your advice. I definitely do struggling with gesture and I'm trying to do as much gesture drawing as I can to improve it. Along with finding better shapes to build figures with, I do want to try making things because doing studies does get boring and I'm sure they're not fun to look at. I always have ideas I want to work on , but I get anxious feeling that I haven't studied this or that enough. If I start small, hopefully I can learn to balance studying and personal work.
