Hi

I tried to incorporate the great advice and suggestions I got from you in the past in the last couple of weeks and would love to have your feedback about a figure study/series about climbing.

I made all of them in around 45 minutes in one go before I entered the climbinghall myself. I tried to capture the poses and energy of my hobby…

What do you think?

Thx a lot for your thoughts and impressions

Thanks for your advise. I will continue my classes here and mix it up with other things.

Also the videos helped with good inputs to loose up a bit and have some fun at the same time... (caricatures) thanks.

I made some funny small series out of it... Also to draw the same motive multiple times in short succession was quite helpfull so see the effects of small and subtile changes.

Hi

At the moment I rotate between different things (classes, longer drawings, different pens and styles, digital and paper ...)... as practice.

I do this mostly because it is much more fun for me to experiment and foul around.

Examples:

Although I think there is some progress in the quality of my drawings over time and I am more and more happy with the results, for me the joy of the process is very important and the main reason for drawing... Do you have some advice about staying focussed on one thing, technique or mixing different styles and excercises?

Is the some established middleground and do you have some suggestions for a usefull practice routine rotation?

Should I focus more on one thing or do you have any other advice.

Thx alot

Hey

I started drawing some time ago (1-2 years) as a hobby, for the fun of doing it.. mostly in the train... or on rainy days.

I do most of my drawings in 10 - 30 minutes directly on paper without using a pencil or much thought.

(here 3 animals, 3 faces)

I am a bit at loss ... how to approach it to improve my workflow or what to do in general to sharpen my perception or anything else really.

I would love some advise about the drawings themselves and mostly in what areas or/and what to do to improve my skills more systematicly...

I never did a course or and anykind of schooling in that area...

Thx
