Week 10 - Directed study on moving figures

Each of the sketches was done for about 10 seconds, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I would usually start from the head going down the body. What i focused on was getting the beginning of the arms in the right place (I didn't have time to think about the shoulders), get them in the correct angle and proportion according to the head. The next most important thing in my mind was getting the curve of the back or the curve of the front correct (usually only one of them and the one that shows more curvature). Next would be the legs. In some cases the person would have already moved behind something by this time so half of the legs were mostly based on memory from a single (and last) peak.
I tried getting more diversity between the sketches by aiming at more interesting movements like people running(2nd from right, bottom), bending downwards, walking with their hands in their pockets or by holding something that locks their arms not to swing as usual.
What I don't like is the way the feet turned up. Usually I would spend no more than 2 seconds on them, so they're with a wrong perspective (2nd from right on the top for example). Plus, sometimes, I had to draw the entire legs by a very faint memory and then they didn't turn up to look good also(2nd from left, bottom)
