so im not sure if your going up in time or down in time, but if accuracy is what you are worried about, try flipping the canvas upside down and horizontally when you are in a situation where your not sure if your making an error, it becomes much easier when seeing the image in a new light. sometimes i just draw pictures completely upside down for practice because it makes me draw the shapes a way im not use to and they usually come out better. dont worry too much about time because you can go back yo the picture again if you really want to. i dont think in life your really ever bound to 5 minutes for a client.
I just replied to someones critique, and I had a slow internet connection and it posted the same comment multiple times. My OCD kicked in and said "it would be nice if you deleted that duplicate comment." But I didn't see a button that would let me. Just an idea I had to help keep things look clean, and one more idea I just had an (add in an edit comment too)?
the all look lovely to me, some pretty interesting porportioning methods i can see in your practice, i'd like to see them inked.
i think what may help for your torso sizing is, after you put in gesture lines put in the ribcage circle approximate size and a ball for the tummy, this helps me a lot but im still a beginner and am off drawing things exagerated too big or small especially usually the arms and legs though. i think when working with this phase of gesture line quality isnt as important but when you finish a piece is when line quality is important and you ought to focus on a single line rather than redoing it over and over, to make it as clean as possible. its nice to see your work, and how your improving, keep at it!
