Great work on your quicker sketches in general, ChiliSoda, that's a mighty finest job indeed!

In general, your curves are more organic and the most readable in terms of the outlines. Your poses are boldest, and finally, very clearest in their silhouettes, in terms of the most action and mood.

So, my biggest critique would and should be that your caricatures satires of the bodies are not the boldest and powerfulest enough yet. Would you please be able to do 2 minutes of 1 minute poses??????

The reason why you could and should do this is because, practice makes progress, not just perfect, and your lines of rhythm will become the least stiffest, and the most solidest, fluidest and liveliest.

Good luck!

Nice work on your figure's lines of action and rhythm, EddieRamos913. Very good job on your clean lines, fluid and perfectly readable pose, albeit subtle.

I've got one tiniest suggestion. I love your lines of rhythm popping up in this nude, but I'm not getting enough of the exaggerations of those caricaturable lines. Would you please be able to do 30 minutes of 29 second poses? (all flipped vertically, and all drawn with your shoulder.

The reason why is because, https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-the-line-of-action-make-your-character-poses-more-dynamic--vector-5554, this link will be able to help make your straights and curved lines will become the most totally satirized in your quick sketches.

One other reason: your poses will become looking like or seeming like it was roughed out in one stroke. Good luck!

Hey there, angst, I'm really enjoying the crafting talent that went into this sketch, as far as the finished sketching goes. That's some very great potential.

So.......if I was to pick one issue, or problem, it could and would be that her right foot is a bit too floaty and scribbly in my angle. Would you kindly work on loosening up your broad and wider strokes with 30 minutes of 30 second hands and feet stroke sketches? (60 broad, bold strokes) And would you please kindly look at this link while you're at it?

The two reasons: A) You'd be able to spend the least amount of time with the forms and details. B) That link is a tribute to Hornet, now Mx. Abi, and how much it means to practice and progress in the name of myelin and progress. But wait, there's more?! Just so you'd think that 30 seconds ain't enough, then why don't you kindly check out this link??

Good luck to you, and I hope these helped.

Nice job on your very-first drawing posts, yamikuro. I think you're on your way. I feel like that all of your poses (attitudes) are all on the right track.

I've got one tiny, littler and smallest critique. I love how much boldness on the lines of your life drawings, but I'm afraid, a few of them seem too choppiest to me. Also that one pose that I love, though it could and should benefit from my critique of two, as illustrated here:

The reason why I posted this is because, your idea and energy will look, seem and feel like that this figure is really yawning and stretching.

My hat's off to you.

I feel like you're getting somewhere, Hayunb97, and I think that you could and should work out on a concrete goal for yourself.

Take for example, Drawabox.com, where it has lots of lessons on some drawing fundamentals. Here's a link here.

The reason why you could, would and should do it, as long as you follow along the lessons there, you'll be able to get a whole lot better well and faster, even though that they'll be a bit too duller and too boring for you, but a little bit of consistency is worth it.

Tip: I suggest you go thru lesson two, and practice with 5 minutes of 30 second studies and practices of the straight lines and more. Again, it's worth it.

Good luck and my hat's off to you.

Nice work on your quick bodies, inkingandoverthinking, very slicker job on your line economy and quality.

But I've got one smaller criticism. I love all of your quick poses, but I'm not getting enough of the animated cartooning in each and every one of them, though they would and could benefit from memory sketching for the rough animations. Would you please work quickest with those figure drawings with 30 minutes of 2 minute figure sketches,all from memory? (15 drawings of figures)

The reason why you could and should do this is because, the less time you erase your drawing, the most freshest and the most spontaneous your quick sketches will ever be, especially for your storyboards, layouts and animations. And check out this free PDF of the Shamus Culhane book, see?

Good luck to you, and I hope you'll find these completely, definitely and absolutely encouraging.

P.S. Keep up the great expressivity!

Well, Gray_Sam, I love the vitality and energy you've put into the 30 second quick poses, see? That's a very great job.

Well, if I was to help you improve your speed and funniness in your figure poses, I'm not getting enough of the visual clarity over ambiguity, right?? Would you please draw larger, larger and larger with 10 minutes of 29 second figure gesture drawings? (600/29=21 quick scribble attitudes)

The reason why you could, should and would do this suggestion is because, your lines of action and lines of rhythm will become the most caricatured, most exaggerated, and futhermore, the most satirized and distorted in the broadest of strokes.

Good luck to you.

Hey fileto, just requested access to your Google Drive page. Hope you'd please granted it to me.

THANK HEAVENS AND GOD AND JESUS, KIM!

Kim,

My Your Studio page update is broken, and it really, really, REALLY won't let me progress with my drawing practice. The reason why is because, every time I refresh the page, my numbers for the week don't change today. Would you please do something with that elephant in my room? Thanks in advance.

Your avid and dedicated student,

Here is my image of my technical issue.

Here is what I mean.

I have a very seriously tougher technical problem, Kim.

Every time I reload my Your Studio page, it does one of two issues, it either doesn't update my number of days or numbers of minutes spent oracticing, or it crashes and then gives out the blasted 404 error message. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Sincerely,

Polyvios Animations

That's a very sweller job on your longer, 25-30 minute poses, miile, that's a more greater job I've seen so far, in terms on how you've constructed the forms, in terms of how you've captured the perspective, proportions and foreshortening, and in terms of the bone and muscle anatomy!

So.....as far as my nitpick or two is concerned, I'd like to say that some of the edges and their perceptions are just a bit too wobbly, a bit too stiff and rigid-er. (Despite being a technically good series of longer studies) Would you like to kindly loosen and solidify the next series of nude figures with 30 minutes of 10 minute figure drawings? (3 figure drawings)

The reason why you could and would, and should do this idea for bettering your drawing talents is because, if your next current goal it to improve your understanding of the overall proportions of the human form, and to make those proporiton drawings less stiffest, and the most dynamic, vital and energetic in the posing.

Cheers, good luck, and hat's off to you.

Nicest job on your Japanese comic-style 3/4 headshot, neolunare. That looks like a really great work on your goal. Question: what's your first ever current goal?

If I could make a little bit of a criticism, it would be that though it's a little bit technically, I think, what you're going for in the Loomis method. I completely and totally feel that your Loomis cranium, in terms of your application is the teensier bit too chopped off at the top. Would you please look at a PDF, physical book, or even an ebook of Drawing the Head and Hands by Loomis? There, you'd be able to practice loosening up your Andrew Loomis head construction just a little bit more with 7 minutes of a 5 minute, and a 2 minute study, would you please do that?? While you're at it, would you also please take this image you've uploaded, duplicate it, then you flip horizontally on Preview???

The reason why you could do this is because of two things: 1) You'd be able to check your own work; to compare and contrast with your manga head with the Loomis head to make sure your head and facial relationships are looking, and feeling correct to you. 2) To be able to look at the angles, proportions, spaces, and edges, for the sake of accuracy, or correctness.

Sorry if you think that sounds or seems a little bit too convoluted to you, but, I'm just doing the best I can to give you some definitely concrete advice, but all in all, that you've got plenty more practice on your anime and manga style more than me.

Good luck, cheers, and I hope you'll find these definitely and absolutely practical helpful and encouraging.

P.S. Don't get discouraged that tour studies aren't all that excellent right away. ;)
