Human Proportions and Pose - Anatomy Study

Figure drawing, the whole body but doesn't have too much detail in it. I've just tried to set up a pose using an axis, while drawing a whole model using the lines i have on the grid. After I've done the head, I've went to define the shoulders and hips to get some vision of how it should look and pose. I've tried to to this exercise several times in order to start drawing good figures, fast, and efficient. This sketch took approximately 15 minutes to draw.

Composition: Still Life Drawing

Another still life drawing, I started first by setting up the composition, and adding some lights in order to start drawing. The balance of the drawings look ok, I have kept the drawing as simple as I could in order not to distract the viewer from the main objects in the drawing. The objects are not floating, they are grouped together, nothing is orphaned. The shading in the drawing looks good, I've chosen to make a gradient as a background because the table was too white, so I had to balance somehow the lack of grey in the composition. The bowl and the jug are nearly kissing, I've tried to not make them be kissing objects, I think I  have managed to do that alright. The sketch took about 40 minutes to be completed.

What I could have done better: Trying to avoid having the bowl and the jug nearly kissing. Trying to draw better ellipses
