More Anatomy practice. This is a 25 minute pose.

Lovely work Ana. Do you have any of your anatomy practice up on the site?

Hey Ana! Thanks for the compliment. Looking forward to making full use of this site!

Some more anatomy practice. I took a one hour class and enjoyed the process very much. To the left are two 10 minute studies, to the right is a 25 minute study. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Okey! So I'm at the beginning of another year and it's time to get more committed to improving my drawing. I'm taking advantage of this wonderful site and it's figure drawing page to practice my anatomy. I've just finished reading Michael Hamptons "Figure Drawing, Design and Invention", and it has given me a lot to think about regarding my approach to figure drawing. I'm wanting to loosen up, so I'm focusing on an hours worth of 5 minute gesture drawing. I'm trying to focus more on long, single, sinuous strokes to capture the rhythm of the figure, rather than get bogged down in detail and mechanics. Here are some of my first drawings. Any feedback would be appreciated.

You might want to start with a half hour of short poses (1 to 5 minutes) to loose up before tackling the longer poses. I agree with Kim about the long, fluid strokes.

Thanks Kim. Good to be here.:)
