Oooooooh, sure!

Hellooo! I recently received a challenge to perform 102 poses in 29 seconds using Line-of-Action. This has been the result of my practice.

In addition to that, and to not make it an exception, I also did my daily practice of 100 sketches of 30 seconds each.

Daily Practice #5 (26-06-2024)

Since my previous post, I have been drawing 100 sketches daily. However, starting from the 40th image on the second day, I reduced my drawing time from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.

Personally, I have noticed that this helps me identify patterns in the shapes of animals, allowing me to draw them much faster and understand their structure better. If you look from day 3 to day 4, you will notice the rapid improvement.

I would really appreciate your constructive criticism on any of them. I am focused on taking illustration as a professional medium. I will also be making complete illustrations in the coming days; if you don't mind, could I upload them as well and get your opinion? Thank you very much for your time.

THANK YOU 💖💖💖💖💖💖 (´ω｀*)

Thank you very much for your comment!
You're right, I'm going to start practicing more other aspects of drawing. Mainly anatomy.

Here is the link to the sketches: https://imgur.com/a/daily-practice-1-22-06-2024-BKjNpgk

Thank you very much for your time and advice, I will put it into practice!

(The character and the name is because it really makes me happy to practice with such a format... it motivates me a lot because it's more fun than drawing on a white canvas. But I'll keep it in mind anyway, I really appreciate your constructive criticism).

It's been a year since I quit drawing. I want to take it up again and take it seriously.
I will be drawing 100 sketches of 60 seconds a day, I hope it won't be a problem for you.

(it's partly relaxing).

I really want to improve, so don't hesitate to be critical and hard on me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for your precious time!

Thank you very much for your comments and advice, Polyvios Animations! I have recently been reading the book "Force: Animal Drawing; Animal Locomotion and Design Concepts for Animators" in order to better understand how to draw animals; today I have read up to page 56 and have tried to put into practice what I have learned plus some tips given in this new publication (another 150 practices of 30 seconds each).

I just recently noticed your comment, so I couldn't exercise your advice before putting into practice what I did today (what is in the link), but I consider you are right: further introspection on the texture of the animals might also give me a closer approach to the final result I'm hoping to achieve. I will start practicing a bit longer as you recommended.

Hello everybody! I recently (not to say yesterday) posted in the critique forum a practice of 150 drawings of 30 seconds each of animals. Personally, I want to be able to draw animals in their great diversity and as many species as there are, and I have recently started to read the book "Force: Animal Drawing; Animal Locomotion and Design Concepts for Animators", a great book that I recommend to anyone who wants to improve their drawing and the fluidity that can be found in the strokes when applying the "FORCE" (from what I understand, it goes from the direction in which you make the strokes and the contrast that you apply in these for the creation and composition of the figure).

I was also advised to try to draw with thicker strokes, so I made some first 10 sketches applying the advice, but the drawing ended up looking rougher. I think I didn't quite understand it, maybe they meant to use a stroke to give a direct form to the drawing (make the stroke so big that it only consists of erasing certain parts to finish the figure faster -I saw this from some artists in speedpaint, but I haven't been encouraged to apply it, but I don't know if they meant something like that or not. Any suggestion or advice is welcome).

Fun fact: I'm reading the "Force: Animal Drawing" book from their 10th Anniversary. Today I read up to page 56.

Below you can find the links to all my practices from today:

Your comment is a great help, thank you very much! I will be using the tips in my next practices (I will also be posting them for feedback on this forum, it is very useful). You are very detailed in your answers and you make me smile at the end of the critique; it has not been difficult to accept it, I am open minded and I accept any comment with the desire to improve and learn.

I repeat, I really thank you very much, I will do both recommended ideas!

I used to be in the habit of practicing 60 sec and 30 sec daily. I wanted to try it again today, so these were the results after 150 practices in a row.

If you have any advice, any advice that could help me to improve, I would be very grateful.
