Besides practicing perspective. I have been rereading "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards since she teaches how to "see" like an artist. Been forgetting that her exercises helps develop perception. Another book that I have been reading is called "The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study" by Kimon Nicolaides. What I have read so far is that he teaches you "How to Learn" not "How to Draw". The way I see it, I need a solid plan for art study and he does give you a schedule to start out.

Another blockage is that I am not studying real life enough. When I am going out side to do any errands, I'll bring a sketchbook with me.

Since you said you are studying FORCE, I recommend you watch the official Youtube channel since that are lots of demos and context on the subject matter.

Thank you for your critique. The lower leg does look off and I really appreciate that you took your time to tell me what I need to work on. I agree that I need to work on perspective, which I am already doing. There's definitely a block in my drawings and I might have ideas to tackle that. Your response is insightful.

I'm on Ch. 2 on Mike Mattesi's FORCE. Been adding form to my figures and doing a "Blind Force" drawings.

These are my recent drawings. But, my gallery is also opened to critique. Here is also a link to a discussion that had not gotten feedback yet.

Any concepts and ideas that I am misunderstanding? All feedback is welcomed.

Been focusing on adding form to my gestures. Any suggestions to improve and change? All critique is welcomed.

Also, tell me if there is any problems with the link. Thank you. 

I'm not sure what is going on with Imgur, but I have been getting "requested page could not be found" message from other users. Is there anyone having the same issue?

Is there any other places for me to upload images and get critique?

I see. Here is a new link. See if that works. Not sure what happened.

Okay. The problem is still there. Not sure why it keeps doing that.

Playing around adding form to my figures. Been learning Mike Mattesi's FORCE theories and I'm in Ch. 2 where he teaches about form or "sculpting". Anything to add? 

All critique is welcome.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that I need to focus on perspective and solid forms. Is there any resources or books that you recommend?
Also, if you don't mind, can you be more detailed on what makes my perspective wonky?

All critique is welcomed

Thanks for all the responses (so far), this has been helpful!

Hey, I have realized I don't spend much time on faces. This is my progress so far. Any comments and critique is welcomed.

Good point. For specifics, I would say hips and torso is a start since I draw those first. Any thoughts of hips and torso and what I can improve?

Also, I really appreciate the critiques.

Hey, I want to hear your thoughts on this sketch I recently drew. The second (bottom) image is mirrored to see mistakes and I am aware what I need to work on. But I want to hear your thoughts.

Critique of ALL levels experience of art is welcomed. I did another post recently (https://line-of-action.com/forums/topic/foreshortening-practice) and there was still no critique. Am I doing anything wrong?

It's been a while since I posted a critique. Did two 30 minute sessions, critique is very much welcomed! Also, the references were Free set #2, since I struggle with that angle.

I'm interested in Poses that are foreshortened. Been doing perspective as a daily study and fun activity. Been playing my gestures in boxes that are foreshortened. They look goofy, but I'm having fun with it. I might even show some samples, it's been a while. Also, having an option to choose foreshortened references only.
