Looks Great! Just try not to overlap the figures and attempt to use as few lines as possible when capturing gesture.

Well done on reaching your goal! I can see that you've improved substantially over the month. I would just suggest that you try to connect your lines since it would make the figure clearer. If you really prefer disconnected lines or if you can't connect them all due to a time limit that's fine. Just make sure the general form is clear. Also, consider using fewer lines to make the poses stronger.

I'm still only a beginner myself, so take the above suggestions with a grain of salt! :)

Good luck in your future gesture practice. Here's a video that my help you out.

Also, if you're new to drawing, I'd recommend Drawabox. It's a free online course designed to teach art fundamentals.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback! I should probably contribute to the community too. About segmenting the limbs, it's sometimes hard to capture the individual 'cylinders' whilst still keeping the drawing fluid and maintaining the flow/gesture of the figure. In other words, I don't want the figure to be stiff, but I don't want to merge body parts that should be seperate. We have to find a balance between the two extremes I guess.

It's hard for me to understand what you're saying. I did these drawings using the 30 minutes class mode. Is this what you're asking?

Hello there,

I have been doing (almost) daily gesture practice for a few weeks now. I use the 'class' setting under 'figure study' so each drawing was completed under a different time limit. It's hard to tell where I need to improve so any feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you!
