Hello there, Kate, nice work on your, what are these?- 30 minute class drawings. Nicer work on your 30 second poses!! Great job on your 1 minute and 5 minute drawings, here, too! Escpecially, your 10 minute final figures.

What I can and shall say, that your 5 and 10 minute attitudes are very much solidly drawn in terms of the balance in the design.

If I could suggest you a totally honest and sincere criticism, I mean, a piece of advice, either. First, I feel that most of your quick sketches are a bunch of rigid and stiff brick poses, and I think you're getting a great confidence in your line quality. Why don't you please do the, if you haven't already, online interactive drawing tutorial here on this website? And second, there are tons of great examples structuring your characters, here is this video down below, for example:https://youtu.be/ehz-lF3UwqQ

This video is a Kim Jung Gi lecture on construction and anatomy, here. This is useful cause he teaches the great drawing fundamentals, yet, though he teaches in Korean, but the images, speak for their education. As for the english subtitles, I don't know, maybe we can find this out.

Piggy-backing to the online drawing tutorial here on line of action, https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

,maybe this would be able to help you loosen up your cartoon gestural sketches.

So, good luck, and cheers to you.

Connieeee, way to go on your 5 minute faces and expressions, that's very good graphic shapes and lines, and spaces, too!

If I was to give you some totally honest and sincere advice, it would be this: Here:





I love the silhouettes and how organically they read as the outlines of your heads, but I think they're they're, still, I really don't feel like there is enough cartooniness in the faces. Would you please push these positive shapes, and pull those negative spaces?? Why don't you please loosen up and liven up those facial expressions, with 30 minutes of 2 minute drawings? (15 2 minute expression drawings)

The reason why you could do these critiques is because, it can, shall, and will be able to develop and refine your eye for design, and to help your current goal. If it's to help improve and caricature my perception of spaces on my faces and head angles, then I suggest, allow, and encourage you to go ahead with it.

Cheers to you, Connie!

Nicely excellent job on your faces and heads, Dorthea. Love the gesture and construction you've got going for them.

Well, if I was to give you a totally honest critique on them, is that most of the heads, although they're very solid on the shapes, lines and spaces, but I really can't help but sense some fearfullness and timidity in the line control and quality. Why don't you please be more cuthroat, bolder, and loosest with the head and expression lines with 14 minutes of 2 minute sketches of those faces and expressions??????????? (7 drawings of heads and expressions of you and models)

The reason?????????? It's because it could and should be able to reduce the rigidity of your shorthands, and to make them cartoony, animated, more vital, and the most energetic. (Hey, at least you'd be able to make more comical and comedic exaggerations of facial anatomy and muscles:D) If this is going to be your newer current goal, then I recommend, allow and encourage you to go ahead with it.



Well, greetings from Salem, MA, USA, and cheers to you!!!

Wow! YOWZA!! That's some very fluider and organic quick attitudes you've got there.

So, if I was to make a suggestional critique, is that I love the grace and fluidity of this ballerina pose in the last and second image, that I really don't get enough of the caricatured feeling and the exaggerated c and s curves in the lines of action of that ballet dancer. Why don't you please go wild and crazy with your whole shoulder with more dancing bodies with 60 minutes of 29 second quick sketches????????? (3600 seconds/29 secs=125 warm-up drawings of them)

The reason why is because, it would and should be able to make your reduce rigidity in the manners, and to make them feel like cartoons and caricatures as lines of action and rhythm go, but otherwise, they'll all do in your portfolio. For more details, be sure to check out parts 1 and 2 of the Tim Gula episode of Proko on Youtube.https://youtu.be/SvB3bnj63oc https://youtu.be/ZRnQcwKU9DE

Well, cheers, good luck, and my hat's off to you, and I hope you've found these vids informational and helpful.

Great job on your pose composition, SnailsAndRavens, that is totally and totally excellent and awesome job.

If I would be able to give you a sincere critique on this picture, then it would be to say that most of the faces (rotated accidentally, forgiven) are a bit too rigider here. Would you please be able to completely and fairly loosen yourself up on your face and expression gesture drawings, with 159 minutes of 30 second drawings and warm-up doodles????? (159 x 60/30/5, 9540/30/5 days, 318/5=64 warm-up scribbles a day)

The reason why you should be able to help yourself is because, you'd be able to get a lot of exaggerated and more than appealing range of expressions and emotions, in your heads, if you could be able to apply this into your manga-influenced cartoons.

So, cheers, good luck, and my hat's off to you.

Nicest job on being totally, so well-rounded on your 30 minute class mode there. Nice broad strokes and solid forms, great going! Marvelous job, kumotori!!

Well, if I was to help you out, then what's your goal? And another thing, my advice is to help you out on making your organic shapes and forms more fluider and loosest, by means of going through 156 minutes of 26 second stroke sketches?? (156 x 60/26/2 days in a week, 9360/26/2, 360/2=180 sketches a day) The reason why you'd do this advice is because of two things: First of all, it's to help you make your goal more clearer, and second of all, to help out on making your shapes and proportions less stiffer, and more solid, fluidest, and lively.

Good luck with your new goal, and cheers to you.

That's some amazing work, eteng. They are amazing sketches because of how much I love the fluidity and life in these quick poses! Uh, I've looked at most of them as I browse through the photos I've duplicated, then rotated, and later, grayscaled, flipped, and rotated them. Their proportions are OK, but I think you're getting better at most of them. :)

Well, to answer your question, just to better improve your 5 and 10 minute figure drawings, would and could you please go with the, if you haven't already, the Learn to Draw interative tutorial in this website??

The reason why you could and should do this little tutorial is because, though the gesture part is more natural to you, then you would take lesser effort in the construction and relationships in the human forms.

If you really want to help yourself to totally understand the proportions and angles, be sure to please use these images here:

Although there are plenty of proportions still available on searches like DuckDuckGo and Google, they could and would be extremely and completely useful and concrete to your studies.



Good luck and my hat's off to you, and I hope you've found these helpful and informative.

Do you have to use any and every pose for free??

Nice work on breaking away from contours, eteng. That's the greatest job I've ever seen! I can really feel the forces coming through!

So, in order to better focus on your current goal, why don't you please work with a softer crayon, grease pencil preferred?? You could find those online, or a Dick Blick near you. And while you're at it, please do 10 minutes of 30 second poses done all standing up?

As a result, you'll be able to make your sketches less stiffer, and the most dynamic, light, and lively.

Good luck with my critique!

Nice activity you've got going, bryanchoo1997. (Especially on the 4 minute quick sketches) Great job on articulating the gestures and constructions of the human forms, they are something.

Well, my bit of advice would and could be that you should please vary the CSI's (not related to some LA show) (I mean those straight lines and curves), thru 150 minutes of 30 second drawing exercises [150 x 60/30, 9000/30=300 exercise warm-ups], all flipped horizontally and/or vertically, and with/without grayscale?

The reason why?? Because it should be able to stylize the tones and values in lines and shapes, which can be useful in simplification, and to help make your poses less stiff, and more dynamic, energetic, fluid, and vital. If that's gonna be your goal, then go with it.

If you wish to draw for animated cartoons, then please, I need you to check out Andreas Deja's blog,https://andreasdeja.blogspot.com/, and look up Ward Kimball on the search engine here, to help you on your cartooning and caricatures.

So, my hat's off to you, and I hope you've found these definitely and absolutely beneficial, helpful, newsy, and encouraging.

Hello, Drawing, just asked for permission tonight.

Well, Jon_draws1242, Ok, I love your 1 minute poses, but I have to say that you're on the right track.

My issue is that some of the fast poses are a bit too stiffest. Why don't you please loosen yourself up to the max, with 149 minutes of 30 second attitude sketches?????? (149 x 60/30, 8940/30=298 spontaneous scribbles of figures, no offense :))

I really, really feel that it'll be finer that although your rapid lightning poses will become nothing but scribbles, so just please trust me? You'll be able to kiss the paper more effectively and boldly.

The reasons why is because of two reasons: First of all, it's to help make your poses less stiffer, and the most dynamic, energetic, and fluid; and if that's gonna be your next goal, then so be it. And second, to help out on the improvements of the human figure thru the static and dynamic.

My hat's off to you, and I hope you've found these definitely and absolutely beneficial, helpful, and encouraging.

In the meantime, scope this YouTube video down below:https://youtu.be/SvB3bnj63oc

Good luck from me to you, and happy sketching! :)

I love the lines of animation and action, Pomdedetree. Great work on loosening yourself up on your rhythmic edges you've gotten into your attitudes.

Yet, I've been duplicating, grayscaling, flipping and rotating those pictures, and I must do say that you're gettin' somewhere on the burlesque aspect of the scribbles, however, I totally want, and need to look for more, more, more, and more of that in the next post. Would you please go for 147 more minutes of 29 second life poses????????? (147 x 60/29, 8820/29=304 gestural sketches)

I really feel that it's all right to be even more sketchy in your next set of sketches, as a result, your animation speed will improve in record time.

The reason why you could and would and should do this little, tinier suggestion is because, your poses for animation will become the least stiffest and the most fluid and lively. I think and feel that you'll really make your own flip book on sticky notes just by quick sketching.

Look at this little video right here to get you started:https://youtu.be/Cl2exot1DiY



My hat's off to you on your future goals and posts, and I hope you've found these completely and positively productive and encouraging.

Hey there, eteng. Say there, nice work on your lines of action and rhythm on those satires of figure drawings!

Well, if I was to give a very totally honest critique, it would and could be that I really don't think that the outer contour is helping you out there. I feel that you need to lighten yourself up with long lines with life.

Why don't you please go for 146 minutes of 20 second poses of figures????????? (146 x 60/20, 8760/20=438 warm up practice sketches)

I really feel that it's OK to accept that your 20 second doodles will become more and more sloppy than the 30 second poses.

The reason why you could do this suggestion is because, you'll be able to strengthen your lines of rhythm and lines of action even more gutsily and spontaneously than before.

Good morning, afternoon or evening; good luck, and I hope you've found this completely and totally informative and educational and liberating, creatively.

Awe-inspiring work and totally fantastic job, Dorthea2410. Way to go, pal!

Again, I've got one smallest improvement. I love how much life and energy you've got into your scrlbbly poses, but I really need to see even more parody into those poses. Why don't you please go for 148 more minutes of 29 second figure practice poses???? (148 x 60/29, 8880/29=306 warm-up gestures for your portfolio) In the meantime, please check out this video?: https://youtu.be/fpBpAJxfzF4

The reason is because, though they can help you out on your energy sketches of your figures, they can also help you refine your skeleton poses through quick gestures of exaggerations.

My hat's off to you, and good luck from me.
