Let me take a look! It does seem to be a general site-wide issue. :)



@Ab2qj That's an impressive streak. Lemme see if I can fix it for you!

Focused practice is always the most effective practice! Having a clear goal such as "accurately capture the proportions of the limbs in relation to one another" is a great step to focusing up.

I do see a few issues with proportion - the jumping/kneeling person in the middle appears to have very short calves and small feet in comparison to the other parts of his body, but other figures show clear attention in this area.

Some good and some bad is a good sign that you're working in an area with attainable improvements, so that's about right for right now.

For this exercise, consider working in stages. Do an initial pass, then get up, walk away for a minute, and come back to the same pose. Do a second pass of the same length where you correct your previously captured proportions, either by erasing and re-drawing or drawing over top in a different color. Measuring different parts of the body against one another will be your friend here. How long is the hand compared to the foot in actuality? How long is the hand compared to the foot in your drawing? And so forth and so on.

Hope this helps! Great work :)

You're welcome! :D

Since so many of the photos are still under old licenses that often disallowed us from showing the images in any kind of "archive," we aren't able to offer a browseable section to see all the photos or grab ones you like or even to show you a summary of them all at the end of your practice. Maybe one day we will have so many new photos under the new license that we will be able to retire all the old ones and go forward to a glorious age of being able to show you what you drew! :)

In the meanwhile, I understand a lot of people use screenshots or snip to save photos they like for later practice. This is okay and a fair use educational purpose. Go for it. ;)

Hi there! By donate, do you mean get a subscription? :)

We don't do automatic subscriptions via Paypal for a lot of reasons, but you can still buy yourself a membership with Paypal. Just grab yourself a gift code and apply it to your own account. :) https://line-of-action.com/store/giftcodes

I found a test account that was experiencing the issue, so I'm now able to see whether I'm having an impact or not. Huzzah! I've got it working and tested on that test account -- one more time, is it now working for you?

Okay, back into the fray I go...

Okay, I've maaaybe found the issue? Please let me know :)

Hmmn. Having much more trouble reproducing this one. Hang tight though, I'm on it!

Woof, not sure how that snuck in! Try again now?

That's a great idea. I'll add this. :)

You're very welcome. :)

There are *tons* of different valid practice methods of course, but I wanted to point you to our 15 minute interactive tutorial, which focuses on one of the more common ways to utilize gesture drawing practice and explains some of why you might want to incorporate these exercises into your practice regimen: https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw :)

My apologies, this was a caching issue from a recent change that was made to try and make the site run faster. I've made an adjustment that should fix this; you should see it resolving very shortly. If it doesn't, or if it comes back, please let me know!

I'm on it!
