Done as part of a 3 hour class.

My current goal is: Reduce stiffness and make my drawings feel more dynamic, energetic, fluid

Hi Jcamilo

From what I see you've got a good level for drawing accurate proportions and shadows for hands and feet.

To make them more dynamic, I would suggest to focus on the line of actions. It might mess up the figure proportions, but in exchange you'll get more expressiveness.

Here's a link to a video I found usefull to improve in finding these line of actions:

Thank you so much for the critique and the link!

Polyvios Animations

Nicest works on your understanding but control on your edges, forces, spaces, relationships (proportions and angles), tones, and of course, the gestalts on your hands and feet. I think that your colors and tones are all totally exquisite, but I feel that the guts need the most gutsifying up in your gestures and appendages. Would you love to go for 3.5 more hours of 30 second hands and feet gesture sketches on newsprints and notebooks? (12,600/30=420 scribbliest hands and feet)

The reason why is because, though you can get all the accidents on your relationships, but you can get all the animation and energy in your hands and feet drawings that way. If you're completely and totally most inquisite about your gesture drawing approach, then kindly look into the 2 PDFs of the Walt Stanchfield series (though it's aimed at artists, cartoonists, and animators) right down here, and here!

My hat's off to you.
