    Your drawings look really nice. There are some moments in which your line feel really confident but there are some moments in which you seem to have a lot of doubts and that is kinda clear in the line quality. I really like the 5 min drawing.

    I think that in the short ones you focus a bit too much in the countor. With those short poses it is better to try to take the energy of the poses. It is useful to try to exagerate a bit so you get a better grasp of what your are looking at.

    There are a couple of resources that i am learning from right now: One is Proko and the other one is Lovelifedrawing both of them are Youtube channels. If your are interest go check it out they migh help you.

    Thank very much for all your critiques!

    I will study some anatomy and after working for some time i will post asking for critiques again.

    :D

    Hi!

    I have been practicing some figure drawing. In particular 5 to 10 minute sketchs and trying to learn the landmarks. I really don't know how to study this landmarks so it would be nice if someone give me some pointers. Also any critique is really apreciatted.

    Hi!

    I agree with Jeshua with trying not to erase that much with quick scketchs. Although I have not try myself to draw with a pen in five minute poses.

    I have some general comments that have help me to approach 5 minutes sketches:

    - Try to look at the major angles of the drawing: The angles of the legs, how the torso is moving, the relationshinp between the ribcage and the pelvis... if you don't know where to draw for example the right arm try to understand how that arm is located with relashionship to the things you have already drawn.

    - Rely in your intuition of proportions: in five minute sketches there is not enough time to draw while being very accurate with the proportions. Try to keep the things in order but don't strees to much over it. In these sketches the fluidity of the poses is more important.

    - It is useful to have a state of mind in which your are trying your best but you have dropped your expectations of how the final piece is going to look. This is a state of mind that can be difficult to invoke and sometimes it helps to warm up with really short poses (like 30 seconds).

    In general, don't be afraid of doing ugly drawings. That is part of the process and a very necesary one.

    There is a last thing I wanted to mention: there is a nice feedback loop between longer posese and short poses. While in longer poses you can try proportions and the like that huge amount of time can make your drawing stif. And as you saw in short poses the fluidity is more natural but the figure lack detail and proportions. It is a good advice to do both, some short poses and some longer poses. They improve together.

    Hope this comments are helpful to you

    Hi!

    Nice drawings! Your gestures are very expresive.

    I recommend you to study some anatomy so you can improve in the details. Also it is important to pay more attention to the proportions.

    - I also think that your 10 min drawing is better than you 30 min drawing. Maybe this is due to the kind of posture, your gesture are very expresive but maybe you don't know much above anatomy so having 30 min to draw might be a lot of time for that very position which by itself is not very expresive. The 10 min drawing show your understanding about how the body moves.

    You can take a look to some content in internet to learn about more anatomy and proportions. I am currently learning from Proko and I think he is very good at teaching.

    Hope this critique is useful!

    For now i would like to learn some about the movement of the human body and some anatomy. But I dont have a clear goal. I have different interests like comics and caricatures so definitely being expressive is something worth learning in my case. Ill going to check out your recommendations!

    Thanks you very much!

    Hi!

    Your drawings are nice! But it is difficult to figure out your abilities if we don't know how much time took to do those sketches.

    Clearly you would benefit from learning some gesture and some anatomy and practice more these kind of concepts. They help a lot with your overall perfomance while drawing.

    Hi!

    I have been drawing some gestures and I would like to know what you think.

    Some are 30 sec and others are 60 sec.

    Thanks!
