Hi Stampe92,

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm not sure how the site could cause such an effect on a healthy computer. We use fairly light-weight javascript within the browser to advance photos.

Do you receive any kind of error message?

Updated OP again. :)

Hi there! A patch was just released in order to address this issue: https://line-of-action.com/patch-released-address-black-screen-bug/

Welcome to all of you! So glad to have you with us! :)

Hi NineLives,

I moved your post into its own topic so that it wouldn't get lost in someone else's critique thread, and you would have more chance to get your own critique.

Skeletons/component shapes are a fine exercise to work on! :) But of course you're free to try other exercises if you have a different goal in mind. What you've accomplished with self-teaching is very impressive!

Your longer drawings look beautiful to me. I do notice that you have a tendency to really "pet" the lines and go over the same area many times with more and more and more little strokes. I would recommend focusing on trying to capture the gesture with the smallest number of long, fluid lines possible in your next few practices, to start to get a more fluid and confident look in your figures.

Beautiful examples! Pleased to meet you as well and have you on the site. :D

Most of the current images were provided by generous photographers. Although we have curated the selection, trying to prune out poor quality images or poses with no educational value, we only have what was offered to us. Young, skinny and white made up the vast majority of the images we were sent — however, we agree that this is something that needs to be corrected, and are working toward commissioning our own photo collections to rectify the situation. :)

Hi there Mark!

I'm so sorry you're having issues. This is an error that seems to primarily occur in the Internet Explorer browser. We are working hard on fixing it, and there will be an announcement in our news when we get it sorted out. In the meanwhile, we recommend using Chrome or Firefox.

I'm so glad that you are (and have been) enjoying the site! :) That really makes me feel good about the work that goes into this project. :)

Welcome welcome! I hope you'll share your progress with us, I'm having a blast seeing what you're all up to. :)

Hi there!

Although I've carefully selected images for the homepage (and news posts, when we announce new series of photos) that do not show genitals or nipples, the site overall doesn't truly have a policy about nudes being only "opt in". For example, the critique forums have sketches of nudes posted in them on a nearly daily basis, where any part of the anatomy might be fully visible, and this is fully within our rules. We have advertisements for drawing books in the sidebar that sometimes have nudes of both genders on the covers (though those also follow the no genitals showing rule)

I am sorry if my avoidance of showing genitals and female nipples on the main pages of the site is not enough to make you feel comfortable. However, this is even "cleaner" than many of the images you'll see in an average exhibit of classical paintings, classical statuary or even in our own forums. I don't think we will be changing it at this time.

Loulou, I was actually asking pdlw to show us their work from 2 months ago.

You can just post a link to the image of your drawing like you did in your first post. :)

Hi Jeremy,

Your first link goes to a Youtube news report rather than your drawings!
