30 Second Poses?

Hello All,

This is my first post and I'm loving this site so far.

For those of you who are more experienced artists: What is the best way to approach the 30 second poses in the Classroom drawing exercises? I have been trying them informally and can't get very far at all on the drawing in that 30 second window. How can I make the most of those exercises?

Thanks,

John

Hi John!

There's some articles on how to use the 30 second window to practice basic concepts here:

Also, see my recent rant here on why you're probably doing just fine in that 30 seconds even if all you produce is a scribble: https://line-of-action.com/forums/topic/can-i-get-some-advice-for-figures/#post-4899

Hope these help. :)

Very helpful, Kim! Thank you.

John
