Greatest of jobs on your forces, edges, positive and negative spaces, Variscol. Please push yourself strongest but furthest. Yet, the shapes and edges still seem too roughest but too scribbliest. How would you like to go ahead with 7 minutes of 60 second poses? (7 drawings)

The reason why is, if you need your first goal to "make your figures the least rigidest, but the most dynamic, energetic, but fluidest," then I can encourage you.

For most facts and details, please help yourself to finding 5 YouTube videos on gesture drawing for animation and cartooning from places like Proko and others.

Good luck from me to you!;););)

Thanks a lot for your input. Will follow up!

Nice!!

Try to do less lines to see clear your drawing and proportions when you are drawing. Less is more! :)

Keep going!

I like the pose a lot, but the porportions make it look a bit strange. The torso and shoulders being significantly wider than the legs can work in more stylized art, but this seems to be trying to be a more realistic image. It's important to think about the whole of the form while drawing the individual parts, maybe starting with shapes to map it out would be helpful. There is also quite a lot of chicken-scratch type lines here, which is okay, but you'd benefit from drawing in more confident, longer strokes. It'll make your drawings more cohesive. Anyhow, keep up the good work!

Welcome to the journey, fellow artist. Don't be discouraged, if the first attempts still feel a bit awkward.

I would suggest finding an art tutorial about the human figure to follow. Tenacity and practice will get you somewhere even without detailed instructions, but following a good guide will save you endlessly on time spent and on frustration.

I personally used proko.com for my first steps, the free version of the courses there are completely sufficient, but there are off course other good art courses on the internet, too.
