Hello and welcome aboard, Erisef. Well, gesture drawing as applied to faces and expressions? I thought you'd never ask for help. So, to draw out the faces, you first start out with the gesture, then you carve out the interior and exterior spaces of the faces, and later, work out the facial proportions and angles, and next the tones. That applies likewise to most gestural grotesque caricatures and animation drawings. For furthest info, please suggest youself to look at this video from Force on drawing faces and expressions, combined with the face and head formulae above.

So, good luck to you and your progress and process.

Sorry, I don't know what to say it, and in that case, how to say it. What I truly mean is, by drawing the gestures of the faces and expressions, you can and will be able to capture your ideas and energies with a few lines as possible. You see what I'm saying and I mean?

Hello and welcome back, JO. Greatest job on your clearest and cleanest shapes, spaces, forms, and colors of your figure drawings. I think your shapes and silhouettes are strongest as they were and are and will be, so as to get out of being too bogged down on the littlest and smallest details. (Not that it's just the tiniest suggest, but mostly a quality that you can and will learn from)

Yet, I'm still not even getting enough of your most broadest but cartooniest humor and vitality in your designs and poses. Would and could you like to please loosen up your arms with 62 minutes of 2 minute figure studies, all done from your dominant and non-dominant arms, and all flipped horizontally?

The reason why is because your edges can and will become the most analytical but fully intuitive in your thought process of observation and caricature and exaggeration in your graphic shapes and lines. So if you wanna see most info, may I suggest you look into some most latest videos from Love Life Drawing? They have lots of keenest stuff for art and life. Thank you🙏🏼.

Welcome back, Idon'tknow. Greatest job on posting your link and your video, but your Imgur link was already dead. Would you like to please redo your link? Thank you.

The reason why is because I really need and really want to see what you're trying to do with your leg gesture drawings, if you please. Thank you, again. Good night.😘

Hello and welcome again, Serarichu. I'm Polyvios Animations. How are you doing today? Say, I have just clicked into your Imgur link, but it's dead. Please repost your study on Imgur again or another image sharing post? So that I could get to see your drawing a little bit better. Good luck to you!

Hello, Integrity, and good morning. Nice job on your first try, but there are too many straight lines, but not enough curves and S curves in your energy drawings, in your figures. How would you care to just go ahead with caricaturing your straights and curves with 6 minutes of 2 minute blind contours?

The reason why you could and should go ahead with this tiny, little suggestion is because your figure drawings can and will have a really unopposed sensitivity in vitality and energy in lines and shapes. So for more tips on practicing, please just look into the Daniel Coyle book on Talent.

My hat's off to you.

Excellent but fully exceptional praise to you and Sanne and others, Kim, and we wish you all a Happy Memorial Day to everyone!

Yeah, I know.

Hello and welcome again, JO NI. Nicest job on your robo-bean poses and anatomy drawings. I love how much clarity and most simplicity and geometry in your spaces, shapes, and of course, forms. Yet I'm still not getting enough of your looseness of your lightest lines, shapes, and forms yet. How would you like to please kindly loosen up your robo-beans in 5 minutes each like these here?

The logical reason why is because if you've just carefully captured your robo-beans most slowly enough, then you speed can improve quite dramatically and fairly with speed and most myelins. For most details, please look into more gesture drawing vids by Proko.

Good luck from me.

Good morning, General Winter, and welcome back, and how are you doing today? Nice job on retaining your forces with forms over anatomical details of your nude figure's back shot. I love the carved out quality to your construction, lines of action and rhythm and silhouette, but I feel your pain that the 25-minute pose looked too much for you, or seemed too much for you. Why don't you please boil down your nude figure studies with trying out our interactive drawing tutorial, even if it only does figure studies?

The reason why is because you can and will be able to record your loose figures for comics with as few lines as possible but to get as much strength and ambition in your designerly communication. Thank you.

Oh, yes, Aunt Herbert, I see your point but yes I do see your point, but I'm sorry about the inspecific advice. What I said about this quick approach to drawing the most realistic portraits with as fewest lines as possible, therefore my feeling is that the most detailed ones could be done as longest as 3600 seconds to 1 hour 50 minutes. The logic, to spend the most time on the forms and details, while I truly mean to explain that by warming up your faces and expressions, you don't really want to get the most hyperdetailed faces and expressions with the least amount of time, which can and will and shall be an exercise in and of itself, but don't worry, you don't have to be a perfectionist about it.

Let's hope my most constructive critique could and should be the most informative to make up for the last one.

You know, Herbert, Shinycats, I think that warming up your face and expression drawings could and would and can and will be a greater idea. I feel that I really need to see your drawings of faces and facial expressions can and will become more obvious if you can and will show me your drawings of those faces and features. The logical arguement is because by seeing a collection of your faces and facial moods, they can and will become more clearer examples of caricatures and exaggerated cartoons if you really must do, like the caricatures by Al Hirschfeld and Frank Hoppmann of Eulenspiegel in Germany and Instagram. The really reason why is because, like sketching the animation poses, you don't really need to care too much about the forms and details, but you need to pay closest attention to the forces, action,and rhythms of your facial bones and muscles of your models. Also, you need to be the most concerned with rendering the faces and heads with the least amount of lines possible.

Let's hope they've been completely, definitely, and absolutely useful and helpful.

Well, I dunno, but if you're still looking into knowing how to give more constructive critiques, I recommend you look into this link here, and here, too. AND MORE.

The logical explanation why is because, these links help to provide you with how to give and take the most constructive critiques, in the the context of general drawing practice, and most specifically anything. (even figure drawing) Let's hope they've completely and totally rubbed off on me and all of you. (let's hope these links worked)

Hello Wish. Nicer job on your range of flow, composition, tones and colors of your background sketches. However, upon looking at your quick sketches of the backgrounds. I love your understanding and control of your perspective and layout of the shots, but I'm not getting enough your stronger but broader gestures and curves against straights. Would you like to please loosen yourself up with 15 minutes of 5 minute scene and environment drawings?

The reason why is because your control and understanding of perspective can and will become more intuitive as they would be more analytical. The more work you practice your multi-point perspective, the more masterful but more second-nature you can and will be with them. So for more details, please look into the book Vanishing Point by Jason Cheeseman-Meyer on book and Kindle.

Good luck to you and your process.

Hello and good morning, General Winter, and welcome to Line of Action. I'm Polyvios Animations, and how are you doing? Greatest job on your boldest but most powerful curves against straights and gestures and line confidence. I think your lines are getting to be the smoothest, slickest, and have the nicest appeal to them. I still feel that these lines are not too confident enough yet. How would like to please draw mostly from your arms with you use your wrists for the smallest details, all for 5 2-minute poses?

The reason why you can and will and shall go with doing this suggestion is because your line confidence and consistency can and will become the most bravest and boldest and risk-taking yet. So for most details, kindly refer to the Walt Stanchfield books on Kindle or on eBay. Good luck to you and your process.
