It's OK that you can't get the anatomy right instantly, Idon'tknow. All you gotta do is just be patient, practice everything ever day that you can, then your natural talent will and can follow. At least I and we know you've tried. Thank you.🙏

You know, Idon'tknow, I think you're being too harder on yourself.

From what I'm seeing in your figural tracings, I feel that you're really and completely boiling down the more complicated musculatures and translating them visually into simpler, and more geometrical shapes and forms. And that's OK to start off drawing them that way. Because your eyes and brain are slowly, ever so slowly getting used to something more complex as the human anatomy of muscles. But still, these simpler, more mathematically drawn forms are still not getting enough of that organic flexibility, elasticity, and of course, the plasticity in your lines, shapes, spaces, and of course, the masses and forms, and I'm not getting enough of that looser confidence in your skeletal systems yet. How would you like to kindly go ahead with 5 minutes of 30 second figures, 5 mins of 30 secs skeletals, and 5 m of 30s musculars, as well? (10 drawings each)

The reasons:

1) To be the most totally self assured in your line and edge confidence, even in your muscles.

2) To help yourself become more than selective in your bones and muscles

3) To see your bones, muscles, nerves, and organs to be completely and more totally holistic.

And if you're still curious and begging for more, please be sure to look into the Sarah Simblet book on Anatomy, the Joseph S. book on Artistic Human Anatomy, AND the Glenn Vilppu anatomy on how to get more quantity out of quality gesture drawing. Let's hope they've been completely and positively and absolutely inspirational and inspiring.

Hello, Heirloomtomato. How are you?

Great job on verbally illustrating your universal skill affliction. In order to "attack" that skill atrophy, can I see your drawings, please?

Thanks.

You know, as a follow up to what Kim just suggested, Gustave. The thing about charcoal and graphite is so that you can practice your drawing media and how much mileage you can get out of them. Please do keep on practicing drawing with graphite, charcoal, and more.

Hello again,

Nicest job on your range of gesture, motion, and form on your figures. I love 'em. But going back to your figure and animal gesture drawing comment, but it can also be used for hands, feet, faces, expressions, cartoons, and more. The possibilities are yet to be explored. But, fast-foward to your form comment, I'm still getting too much mushiness in your basic construction. Would you like to go ahead with going for more weight and solidty in your construction with our 1 hour class mode of figures?

The reason why is because you can and will be able to improve and innovate your figure and face construction, in order to better at drawing from memory and imagination, by starting off with the gesture warmups.

My hat's off to you.

Well, Strawberry, most strongest and greatest job on your face and expression construction drawing, using just the Reilly method. I love the sense of edges, spaces, and forms of that one. Yet, it looks too timidest in the organic drawing to me yet. How would you care to go for 17 minutes of 1 minute attitudes of expressions?

As a result, your facial expression constructions from any angle will become the least stilted but the most bravest and therefore energetic in your delivery. And if you're still looking into all of the drawing practices on facial expressions, look into some drawing expressions from Action! Cartooning by Ben Caldwell, though Ben is still working on Manga Cartooning, but these fundamentals are worth it.

Let's hope you've found these absolutely beneficial.

You know, Idon'tknow, I think your making greatest progress, but I feel that the vitality is not being boiled down enough yet. Would you please be mostly on board with 7 minutes of 28-second figures, followed by 8-minutes of 27 second poses?(all done underhandedly, while standing up the whole time)

The reason why is because, you'll be the most economical with your lines of action and rhythm. For most practical advice, please see some of the most free videos on Proko's channel.

Good luck from us.

Well, Idon'tknow, bravo on your figure tracing drawings. I love how much freedom but then the control you've applied to your basic shapes and forms, however, these tracings are still too stiffest to me yet. Would you care to make your goal be "improve my tracings to help me push the guts of the photos"?

As a result, kindly don't get discouraged if you're not getting excellent results instantly, for the vitality will be bettered with lots of time. For most details on drawing figures, look into Loomis' Fun With A Pencil, and many, many more.

My hat's off to you.

You know, Idon'tknow, the thing about doing a 5-minute drawing is that you don't need to get it finished and perfect right away. It can and will help you just drill and drill yourself. Yet, I'm not getting enough of that holisticness in your figures yet. Would you like to work more from your shoulders with 6 minutes of 2-minute poses, followed by 7 mins of 60-second poses?

The reason is because, your attitudes will become much more exaggerated, expressive, and emotional. For more details, please look into the free PDF of The Vilppu Drawing Manual.

Thanks, and good night.

Tell you what, Idon'tknow, what if your first goal would and could be to understand the basics of rendering, please? It's simple, please.

Thank you.

I'm completely on board.

Say, I've got a great idea. What if you pick a concrete goal for yourself, so that you wouldn't always be going on that wilder goose chase for improvement.See?

Thanks, but what are you trying to say clearly?

Good day, Idon'tknow. You know, I think you're doing the greatest of jobs on your most grace and flow and dynamics in your figures. Please keep up the greatest jobs, but I'm not getting enough exaggerations of your c's and s's. How would you care to go for 16 minutes of 30 second poses, using your shoulders, dominant and non-dominant?(32 scribbles)

The reason why you could and would go ahead with this constructive critique is because your lines of action and balance and rhythm can and will become the most forceful in delivery and execution. For most influences, please look into Drawn to Life by Walt Stanchfield, in 2 Volumes.

Good luck from me to you.

Idon'tknow, I just wanna say, greatest work on your edges and shapes on your "shapes and forms". I love the spontaneity in your lines and spaces, but I'm not getting enough of your freedom of motion and movement. How would you like to please get the liveliest quality in your basic forms and still lifes with 6 mins of 29 second poses of still life?

The reason why is because, your basic shapes and forms wiil get to be the most loosened up for you, to get the most loosest but therefore expressive quality to them.

My hat's off to you.
