Alright, attempt number 2. This time I know for a fact I fucked up. Especially the face, was trying to do a realistic eye multiple times, kept erasing, redoing it until I went "fuck it" and went with this weird compromise. I worked on it a bit yesterday but had some stuff going on so I ended up doing most of this evening. Still I *think* I did the anatomy and gesture better. I am doing a side-by-side with the ref (>>7619759) and it looks much better. although I am not fond of how I made the arms a little bit wonky. I didn't bother with as much with detail. Third attempt will be the charm, I'll work on it tomorrow

>Comparison is important for learning. It helps you figure things out faster
Yep, although the curious thing is. I used to do comparisons of just looking at something and then looking at the ref. But putting them side by side in small thumbnails seems far more useful since I can actually see it more from a grander scale
>He’s a fighter, so only watch his videos if you're interested in gaining more knowledge about that. Otherwise, it’s not necessary
That's fair, I've only done a bit of martial arts, but I am still a beginner in that field too, so either way, better to get more knowledge
>Honestly, just pick a single full-body, single light source reference that you like, and work from it for a week. You’ll improve faster by working iteratively.
I'll go with this pose for now and work on that. If I may ask, what's a good consistent regiment to keep up? And should I do it with multiple works a day per week? Just curious, since I never seem to be able to find the right "schedule" to do it right.
>One way to develop this sense is to try the poses yourself and get a feel for how they actually feel.
I see, I actually tried that before, but I foolishly didn't use a mirror, the thought didn't cross my mind until now. Makes a lot more sense for getting the feel. I do notice I still have trouble with gesture in general though, I need to work on that
