Good evening, Karsaether, and welcome aboard. My name is Polyvios and how are you doing tonight?

Say, you're doing a finer job on your face of your OC's edges, spaces, and facial relationships. I think it's completely getting there but I feel that these could use more bold expressions and caricatures. How would you like to please loosen up your expressive drawings with 5 minutes of 30 second faces and expressions sketches?

As a result, your understanding of how to render the faces and expressions will increase billionfold. For most details, please look up a copy of Andrew Loomis' book on how to draw faces and hands, though your real focus for the day is faces and facial expressions. Good luck and my hat's off to you.

Hello Bean Just, and welcome to Line of Action, I'm Polyvios, and how are you doing this morning?

Say, by answering your question, I'd say I'd like to recommend you be a little bit more concrete to your goal, because, just saying "improve my painting level" sounds a bit too discreet to me. So how would you like to suggest a goal, how to make my painting figures less stiff and more fluid?

The reason why is because, deep down you can and will be able to tap into the inner thoughts and emotions of your figured models, especially in your paintings, but in your drawings.

Hope this thing helps you out better.

Good morning, Tanner, and welcome to Line of Action, I'm Poly, and how are you doing this morning?

Say, your fluidity of the poses. I think you're having fun, fun, fun, fun with gestural figure drawing, but I feel that the mark making could be even more expressive. Why don't you please try yourself out our online drawing tutorial?

As a result, by practing our tutorial, you can, shall, and will be able to refresh your own knowledge of gesture drawing in general, particularly figure poses. Even if you start off with some rapidly done 30 second pose sketches, you can go faster into the 5 second scribbles, then work your way back up to 5 minute sketches, all just to build and design some vague but particular anatomy in the very end, all just to finish up your mini-tutorial. For most details, kindly look into the PDF of gesture drawing HERE!

Good luck, therefore my hat's off to you.

Hello, Blue Dovey, welcome back to our website! I'm Polyvios Animations, and how can we help you?

Say, upon looking at your progress from your last 2 weeks this year, recently, I see some very major improvements going on in terms of how you've perceived your forces and spaces of your figures in varieties of undress. I think that you've got the stronger feeling for pushing your foreshortening of your left and right legs and feet in gesture form, but I feel that they could use the most work in how expressively but well in how you push them to their limits. How would you like to care for speeding up your progress with 32 minutes of 2 minute sitting & kneeling attitudes?

The reason is because, truly deeper down, your understanding and intuition of expression and exaggerations of foreshortening of any appendage will improve more better and more quite faster. Hope these have completely and totally shifted but benefited you and your current but future goals.

Hi, Meijiisconfused, and good morning.

Greatest work on your range of fluidity of the poses, greatest jobs on your construction of the poses, and their positive and negative shapes and spaces, which I really think you've totally got them all down in just one time. I feel that your gestalt of your poses could use a bit most caricature and exaggeration in your balance of drawing fundamentals, including gestures. Kindly loosen up your draw your longest lines of action and rhythm with 32 minutes of 30 second pose sketches?

As a result of your latest warm-up period, then your fluidity of the poses and flow of their lines will become the least rigidest and the most loosest but liveliest.

For most details, please look into the Tonika Pantoja videos on YouTube about gesture drawing.

My hat's off to you, and happy sketching morning!

Good morning, Tropical Bird, and welcome aboard to line of action, I'm Polyvios Animations. How are you doing?

Nice job on your range of line weights on all of your faces, expressions, and figure studies, even your quick sketches of hands, because of the range of expression and emotion of the lines and the storytelling and acting possibilities. Please kindly keep them going! But, I totally also love how really great a job on analyzing your anatomy of the bone structure of your hands. Please do keep on pushing yourself as far as you can go.

Go as far as you can go, and then go farther; Know what you're gonna draw is actually gonna work the first time.

However, these lines in their looseness of all these subjects and fan arts are totally and completely not loose enough to me yet. Why don't you please free up your range of storytelling drawings of those thingies with 5x5 minutes of figures, 5x5 minutes of faces and expressions, and a 10 minute warm up of a hand? ((5x5)+(5x5)+10) (50+10)=1 hour of drawing practice.

The reason why you could and should, and would go ahead with this deliberate practice is because your storytelling poses and expressions, and gestures will become less mechanical and much, much, MUCH dynamic, fluid, flowing and organic in your graphic narrative uses.

Don't be really half-hearted, learn a new move by exaggerating it.

(Confidentially, it was just a paraphrasing.) For more info, please look into a book or Audible of the book with the same name. Hope these have helped you out so much.

Hey, Vilma, you invite link had been expired. Would you please send us a new one? Good morning.

Good morning, Asseroy, and welcome back, and how are you doing this morning? Thanks for the question, but nice job for asking, therefore, you don't really need to worry about the digi tools yet, but how would you like to practice gesture drawing on any drawing computer tablet on any digital drawing program? That way, anything you can do with pen and paper, you could do with a digital tablet and laptop. Is that simple?

Yet, once you get better at drawing digitally, you may and might, and some point, continue doing things most traditionally, for any and every artist's journey is unique.

Let's hope it's been the nicest, the most helpful, and furthermore, the most encouraging.

Greater job on your most boldest and confident lines, emhopam. Way to go, and please keep up the greatest works, but these all seem a bit too stiffest on the line of action side. How would you please go for 6 minutes of 29 second figures and other stuff, using only our custom timer, and using the vertical flip? (360/29≈12 pose sketches flipped vertically)

The logic behind this constructive critique is because you can, shall, and will be able to draw the most exaggerated lines of action and rhythm in your poses and gestures and expressions, all while having lots of fun gesture drawing. If your goal is to make the most exaggerated lines of action, then bring it on. For most all details, look into the 2 PDFs on Archive.org on the Drawn to Life series by the late Walt Stanchfield (Disney Modern)

Good luck to you and your current and future goals.

Welcome aboard, Eyates, I'm Polyvios, and how are you doing today? Nice job on keeping your gesture in terms of constructing your poses, forces, forms and shapes, but they all seem not to look too organic to me yet. How would you like to please loosen up your forces, forms and shapes with 6 minutes of 2 minute figure drawings?

The reason why you could and should do this littler request is because to make your anatomies and contructions less stiffer, less boring, and lesser than blander, and to actually make them more spontaenous, more dynamic, and even more organic in your caricature drawings and designs.

For even more info, kindly look into these 2 videos above and more on YouTube and online and books.

My hat's off to you, and I hope you've found these completely and totally nicer, useful, encouraging, and more informative!

I'd love that, too, especially I'd been getting those from Adorkastock.

Good evening, emhopam, and welcome aboard, I'm Polyvios Animations, and how are you? Nice job on your very first attempts on your posing, acting, and dancing poses, because of how much vitality and energy you can and will get away with your scribbly, hairy, and spontaneous lines. Please keep those up, but your line quality all looks like or seems like too cowardly and timid and uncertain in terms of their execution. How would you care to go for 5 minutes of 30 second poses, if you haven't already?

So, the real roadmap behind this constructive critque, is because you can, you shall, and in the future, you will have been the most boldest, braver, and much decisive with your line mileage and quality in your lines of action and rhythm.

So, when it comes to do more practicing of lines of action, kindly look into the PDF of the Vilppu Drawing Manual here. This has tons of inspiration and influences here, along with the quicker 10-second sketch to be the most intuitive in your lines of rhythm and tempo of the sketches.

Good luck.

Well, Meijiis, I've looked at your 30 minute sesh drawings, and I think that your plasticity of your loosest lines are on the right track, but I really and completely feel that there's not totally enough flexibility and plasticity to your lines of action and rhythm yet. Why don't you please speed up your sketch rhythms by experimenting with 35 mins of 29 second sketches, all from our custom timer here? (35x60=2100/29≈about 72 sketches)

The actual reason behind this thing is because you can and will be able to observe and sketch with the most organic flow and plasticity of the graphic forces, or forms or shapes. Hope this has informed and inspired you the most best.

Welcome aboard, Funkle420, I'm Polyvios Animations, and how are you doing today? Say, I think that your hand gestures are definitely and positively on the right track, but I feel that your animals and backgrounds could use a good loosening up. How would you like to go for 32 minutes of 2min gestural quick sketches of animals (1 minute looking, 1 minute sketching), followed by 6 minutes of 29 second bg thumbnails of some animation BGs you find on your DVDs/Blu-Rays/Internet? (15 seconds seeing, 14 seconds sketching, from memory)

The explanation behind this approach to sketching is because, while you look at the models at half the time, then you can quickly feel them as you sketch out the last half. But not to mention that your concept and inspirational illustrations will become somewhat less stiff and more than dynamic, energetic, and fluider. For more info, please look into some scene and landscape sketching tutes right there on YouTube and any perspective drawing books in your local book shops or online stores. Let's hope it's been completely and positive influential and informative to your studies. Thank you.

Good evening, Meijiisconfused, and welcome aboard, I'm Polyvios Animations, and how are you please? Say, nice job on what you've worked on and moreso, how you started to progress on your figural gesture drawing of the figures in terms of anatomical believability, but these poses all seem a bit far too stilted and rigid to me yet, how would you care to try out our proprietary online drawing tutorial tonight?

The argument is as a result, you can and will be able to focus more on how to get the strong possible mark-making on not just figure studies, but anything and everything. For most details, please look into some gesture drawings from Tonika Pantoja on YouTube and anywhere. Thank you, and hope they've supported and helped.
