First 5 minute practice

This is the first practice I've done with this site! This model was beautiful, and Im proud of what I was able to get done in 5 minutes

My two favorite things looking at this sketch are the a strong sense of the low angle perspective and how naturally the shoulders present themselves. They appear both strongly attached but naturally rounded.

For a quick sketch, the only thing that's jumping out to me is the fabric of the skirt. Where it attaches at the waist looks a heavy and structure as the bust lines. Even if that's accurate I would downplay that symmetry to emphasize the lightness and looseness of the fabric and avoid shapes that are competing with other forms in your quick sketches.

Hi ! Indeed, great sketch done in 5 minutes. Head, cloths, body, pose, everything is well placed and you even get the hand down.

Thank you for sharing, I know what I should try to be able to do in 5 minutes now thanks to you :)

You got the general proportions and pose angle down. I would say the main thing is your lines aren't very confident (short, small, chicken scratches), and it hinders the shape coherency and movement of the sketch, particularly in the shoulders and fingers. This is difficult, but I recommend making your final lines longer and darker. Some movement from the arm or shoulder may aid the movement. It takes a lot of getting used to, though. Overall, good sketch!

Hello again. Nicest work on your lowest angle pose in terms of silhouette, in terms of relationships, and in terms of the simplest thought out construction. I'm mostly thinking that there's WAAAY too much henscratch in your line boldness. Would you love to do 6 minutes of 2 minute poses in extremest(meaning most extreme) exaggeration, using only your whole shoulders?(3 cartooniest drawings)

The reason is because you'll diversify the most expressive range of attitudes in your lines of action, as well as your lines of balance, and of course, lines of rhythm, and finally, the linear confidence.

Let's hope you've found this most nicely informative.
