Say, dilan, nicest job on your latest toned figure sketch in the longest, longest time, however, you're far too hardest on yourself for the longest time, so how would you care to kindly be the most patient with not just your drawing learning curves, but also yourself? As a result, you can, shall, and in the future, will have had the most to live for in your whole career and life. Any and every life is precious, including yours. Hope it's the most compassionate.

When it comes to your quickest tone drawing, it seems a lot of too much fear has been put into it, so would you care to do your very-first-ever 2 hour class of figure sketches, in order to help develop and refine your forces, forms, and anatomies? Another arguement behind this constructive thing is because, your figure drawing tools and fundamentals will be the most masterful and second nature to you, when it comes to gestures, sillos, relationships, tones, and the wholes. And if you wanna expand your marches of the greatest of progress in action poses and attitudes, please look into the Ben Caldwell book, Action! Cartooning.

Hope it's been the most absolutely morale-boosting to you and your self-education. Have the greatest day!!

Ya know, I just don't care. I love ALL of my models as if they were my own great-grandchildren! (As long as I can grey, flip, and rotate em, so that I can have fun with observations) Not to mention for very, so highly different reasons. Take for example, the bearded model (clothed or nude or anywhere in between) for I'd love to caricature the vitality of his beard lines and shapes.

BTW, what kind of felt-tip markers do you use?

Nicer job on your totally and absolutely finished pieces, Thatcherart, but where are the rough gesture sketches? How would you like to go for our online interactive tutorial, if you please, here? As a result, as a newly self-taught drawing student, you may learn some all-new habits for sketching and drawing. You can start yourself off with some quickest gestures, thus finishing off with the slowest drawing poses. So, my hat's off to you, and let's hope they have helped and benefited you, for a longer run.

Good morning, Roscoe, and welcome to our website, and how may we help you? Thanks for your question, but if your pencils keep wearing out on you, yet I recommend sharpening them before and after your drawing session, therefore if you wanna be more bold and confident with your line quality, furthermore, I suggest you please try out our interactive drawing tutorial here on our site, and could you please show us your latest work, because we really need to see them to gauge your current progress?

Plus, if you're completely curious about controlling your line confidence, kindly check out this tutorial here:

My apologies for the longer-winded critique way earlier here, so let's all hope they have rubbed off on you and your newer learning curve and march of progress.

Hello and good afternoon, Izzy Williams, so please, like Drunkenelf said, take what I say with a little grain of salt. I love how much of a great sense of spaces and forms you got, especially your 10-minute poses, but those lines, shapes, and forces could use just a little bit more pushing and pulling, yet how would you please go for 1.5 hour of 2 minute sketch poses, all done using a thicker, darker brush? (45 scribbles, all flipped vertically, if our website lets you)

The two reasons are: 1) To help you be more bolder and confident with your lines and shapes, but to help yourself capture anything with as fewer lines as possible. 2) To help you see shapes and lines. For more info, please pick up a copy of Drawing on the Artist Within by Betty Edwards. And this video above the reply. Have fun practicing!!

Nice way to ask, Zalamander, but in order to study your moving action poses, then you can just capture the movements of the poses' forces over forms by watching it in movement while you sketch them out blindly, while on tablets'/phone's timer app, but also you can just pause the video frame by frame to just capture the gestures, yet not just the forms and details. If you really need to loosen up your gestures and simple forces, then I'd recommend you do 5 minutes of 30 second poses, because if you do 30 seconds per pose, then your lines of action will become strongly looser for your simpler foundations.

For even more details, please look into this video tutorial on how to study your Youtube videos frame by frame. Here:

Hope these things have become completely, totally, truly and absolutely useful to your learning curves and marches of progress.

Say,Kly Kuu, nice job on your range of organic shapes and forms in drawing the bean shapes, but I'm not getting enough of that squash and stretch in exaggeration and staights vs. curves, but how would like to kindly go for the interactive drawing tutorial right here on our website?

The reason why if you could do this tutorial interactively, then you could and would and should be able to apply that to your bean poses from 5 seconds-5 minutes. So please don't be afraid to fill up your canvas or page or two with your interactive drawing exercise. The more faster and funny your sketch them out, the more organic and satirized your bean-shaped bodies will become. Hope these things have become absolutely, completely and truly helpful, encouraging and supportive.

Good afternoon, Calvinnyecomics, and nice job on your range of motion and lines of movement in your forms of the pose, but I'm not getting enough of the loose lines of action and organic pose, so how would you like to go for 32 minutes of 2 minute drawing poses? The reason why is because, your lines of action and rhythm will become less than rigid and the most bold, spontaneous, and alive. Be sure please to look at tons of instructions and inspirtations on gesture drawings form physical books, ebooks, video tutorials on YouTube, and many, many more. Good luck to you.

Greatest performance on your most trickiest pose, but kindly don't you get too hung up on the most complicated details in your attitude, so would you love to go for 2 hours of 30 second fastest and scrawliest poses, regardless of complication? The reason is as a result, your most complicated of attitudes will be the least hardest to do, and the most simplest and easiest to look at and sketch out, for you can and will be able to be the most easiest with your fluidest and flowing lines of action and rhythm. Look, I know it's the easiest to be too stiffest with your studies, so it's all alright that all artists hate all of their stiffest drawings, but the only best solution by far, is to do it another time or more, in order to get the best confidence in your sketching knowledge, and the knowledge of anything. For most details, please suggest yourself a copy of Andrew Loomis' Figure Drawing for All It's Worth, physically or otherwise. Good luck to you today.

Good morning to you, Hyebinpark, and nicest works on your range of the simplest forms and forces of your hands and feet, but I'm not getting too much flow and fluidity of the shorthands of your hands and feet drawings, so how would you kindly like to go for 10 more minutes of 30 second hands and feet poses? As a result, your hands and feet will become somewhat least stiffest and the most boldest, confident and spontaneous in your memories, ideations, and executions for your character concepts, designs, and styles. My hat's off to you, and have the greatest day!!

Good evening, Evils Master, and welcome back aboard again, but how are you doing tonight? I too, am a student, so I don't know if my advice could be any helpful, but I'm giving it away anyway.

Great job on rendering your forces, forms, spaces, and relationships of your ungulate rhino. That's a mighty great job you have done on balancing your controls and understanding of your elements and principles of drawing, but they mostly don't look or seem anymore confident yet. How would you like to loosen up your dominant and non-dominant shoulders with 10 minutes of 2 minute multi-toed mammals, also flipped vertically?

Fact, if you flip the image vertically, while you're drawing it, then you can actually get a much better idea on observing and perceiving your design elements and principles of gestures, using your right side of your brain, meanwhile you can and shall push the action and motion of your organic shapes much stronger. For most inspiration, please pick up a copy of Ken Hultgren’s Book on Animal Drawing. This can help you out on understanding animation action and mood and structures. My hat's off to you, and may you find this book very useful and encouraging.

Welcome aboard, Starberry Kitty, I'm Polyvios, and I love to learn how to do drawing fundamentals, as applied to art, animation, and cartooning. To learn even more about animation drawing fundamentals, please look at this link by clicking here. See you later.

Nicest job on your range of the lightest and loosest lines of action and rhythm, hey_amine. Very greatest job indeed. Yet still, I'm not totally getting enough of the loosest and lightest lines of action yet in terms of forces, spaces and forms. How would like to free up your dominant hand with 1 hour of 1 minute 55 second quickest pose sketches? (3600s/115s=about 31 quickest and loosest line poses)

115 x 3=345 360-345=15 150-115=32

The explanation behind this littlest bit of critique is as a result, your lines will become the most lightest and loosest in your shapes and spaces and forms, which could and would be your next goal, then bring it on. For even most inspiration, please look into the Bridgman Life Drawing book online at Amazon here.

My hat's off to you, and may this have been totally helpful and practical.

Good evening, Pennyberyl, and welcome aboard. I'm Polyvios, I'm fine and how are you doing this evening? Say, you're doing a really fine job on quickly sketching out your figures, hands, feet, faces, and expressions. Please do kindly keep up the totally great work ethic. But, if your time limit for each of your sketches was 2 minutes, then your quick bold power in your lines seem a bit too stilted for my tastes. How would you like to loosen up your hands with 30 more minutes of 1 minute poses of figures, hands, feet, faces and expressions?

The arguement behind this critique is because you could and should be really and completely holistic in your approach to drawing attitudes and poses. For most details, please look into the Mike Mattesi drawing books on Forces and some gesture drawings from Pinterest and more drawing tutorials on YouTube.

My hat's off to you, and let's hope they've encouraged you so much.
