Done as part of a 30 minute class. My current goal is: I don't know! I am an absolute beginner; I'm here to study the basics of rendering

Good morning, Jagvalverde. Great work on your display of motion, spaces, proportions and angles, and of course, the tones of your ballerina pose. But I'm not getting enough of the flowing lines in your figures above. Would you like to go for loose figures in 46 minutes of 2 minute pose sketches?

The reason why is that is because, your understanding of drawing basics will and can be drawn less stiff but more energetic and vital. For more details, look into a chapter on line quality in the Betty Edwards drawing thinking books, like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, The Definitive 4th Edition.

Hat's off to you.

I know the book but I haven't read it, this week I will definitely get it. On this platform I never stop learning about books thanks to recommendations like yours.

Thank you very much for taking your time to help me improve.

Hey Jagvalverde !

Just a quick tip that you can already apply without mastering anything that will enhance your drawings : Make the closest lines bolder than the fartest !

That's it, enjoy
