Thank you for the response, and I'll get back to that as sooner as I can.

Actually it happened last night on June 29, 2022 at about 10 pm est.

Hey Kim, good evening and welcome to loa. How are you? Unfortunately I'm having a problem with after stopping the drawing session with drawing gestures in 30 seconds more or less, I get this pop up that says do you want to stop practicing, but it takes me back to the drawing main menu, but no more suggestions on posting your drawings in your sketchbook. Please do something about that bug, please. Good night.

Hello, everybody, how are you all doing? If you're looking to study the fundamentals of drawing in animation & cartooning, then I suggest you look into Sheridan college in Oakville, Ontario. For further inspiration, then please check out Amir Avni's blogs (Sheridan alumnus) http://toonamir.blogspot.com/ & http://thebarleyway.blogspot.com/ & http://aaportfolio.blogspot.com/. Thank you all for choosing line of action.

Thank you very much, Kiro Cosmos, but I'm going for not only the gestures and lines of action, but also for the line quality to go for the quick sketches for the animation sketches, like Bill Nolan had in the silent era of American animation. Good night.

What brings you here, ADrawing?

I've got an idea, Dragphan, here's what I've got for you to work on, this image.

16-Second Minimalist Warm-Up For My Animal Sketches by Polyvios Animations

This is my warm-up for my animals, which is what you can get yourself having fun learning how to draw just like when we were kids. What do you think of this?

Hope this has been useful.

Hey, hey, hey! I'm Polyvios Animations. I'm doing fine, how do you all do? Say, I'm working on making 500 scribbles a day for my series of animation tests. On account of what Felix the Cat Animator, Bill Nolan did in the Silent Era of Animation, back in the early-late 1920s. So what do you all think of that? Any animation and cartoon fans out there?

Actually, I'm working on my book trailer for my picture book.

You know, this is my first time making this discussion. I'm asking you all something. Can gesture drawing be drawn funny?

Take for example,

Jim Tyer (Van Beuren, Handy, Famous, Terrytoons)

This image has an exaggerated feeling to the gestures in the lines of action. Got it from John's old blog. Any takes?

Good afternoon, mereology, and welcome. How are you? Awesome and wonderful job on your 3 10-minute figure drawings. Greater work on showing your range of motion, acting, proportions, angles, and forms. Keep up the great works.

And as for your anatomy, hands, and feet are a bit too shakier to me, in terms of the gestures and action. How would you like to free up and liven up your forms and relationships with 2 5-minutes of pose warm-ups? Because you can reduce the rigidity in your gestures and poses and to get them to be and look more alive and motivated internally. If you're really curious about gesture drawings, then please look into the PDFs of the 2 Walt Stanchfield books. Good luck and I hope you'll find these things helpful.

Good afternoon, xielianlover, how do you do this afternoon? Great work on your loose and light style of drawing graphic lines, shapes, spaces and forms of the hands and female forms. Why don't you please keep up the great work, I say?

I feel that most of all the lines and shapes look far too itchy, hairy, and scratchy in the general female body and any hands, unless you'd want to give the hairs to those bodies and hands to give them some character, unless you're a bit too timid in your perception of edges. Would you please free up your arms and hands with a 5 minute figure drawing of any female and male, and also loosen up your hands and arms with 2 minute warm-ups of hands and feet? So that your contours will become less itchy, and more bold, smooth and confident. But that's not all! Your lines of action will become more bold and powerful in the acting choices in illustrations, comics, and animations. For some more great stuff, here's this link right here.

Hope these have been completely helpful.

Good morning, noon, or afternoon, jellyfishing, and welcome to LOA. How are you doing today? I'm fine, and you???? Awesomest job on all of your quick sketches in 30 seconds each. I'm the hugest fan of the lot of 'em! Please push youself the smartest and hardest!!!!

The poses don't seem to have enough of the strongest CSI's. (Curves against straights) Would you please loosen up your lines fastest and funniest with 30 minutes of 29 second sketches from figure studies, and from cartoons and animations from SakugaBooru? The reason is because, it can and will be able to get the most in sync with your animator's drawn lines in your drawings and cartoons. For most inspiration, look up this. It can help you out always.

Cheers to you, and your patience, practice, and progress.

Good afternoon/morning/evening, Henezra, and welcome to LOA. I'm Polyvios, Polyvios Animations, how do you do? Greater job on your lighter and looser touch to your lines of action and rhythm. Push yourself further and farther.

However, your lines of action, balance and rhythm in most of your figures, animals, hands, feet, faces, and expressions don't all seem and look too animated and broader enough to me and my sensibilities, especially your animals mostly. How would you like to free up your hands, elbows, and shoulders with 6 minutes of 29 seconds of figures, hands, feet, faces, expressions and animals for each, please???

Because your drawings, sketches, and paintings will become the lesser of the conservative stiffness and rigidity and the more liberal in your approach to gesture drawing. For more than enough info and details, look into the Preston Blair book PDF on the Animation Resources website, and the Nancy Beiman book on Amazon. Good luck to you, and I hope these can and will help you let your hands and arms go.

Good evening PluggedMilk and welcome to Line of Action, I'm Polyvios, Polyvios Animations. How are you doing this evening? Great job on your first ever attempt at drawing ever posted on this website. Great perception of the edges, lines, and shapes. Way to go.

The gestures, to me, look a bit too stiff. And the forms don't look really anatomically correct, in terms of the proportions, perspective, and foreshortening. Would you like to loosen up your hands with a 5 minute drawing of a nude, and a 2 minute figure drawing in some degree of undress? As a result, you'll soon get better in your basics of rendering of the drawings in general, and more. For more info, and inspiration, look up this link from John's old blog. It has tons of cool, funny drawings of figures. They can help you loosen up your perceptions of the basics. Good luck to you, and I hope this has been inspirational and influential.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, itzhoyt, and welcome back. How are you doing? Greater job on your lines of action and balance of forms and poses of the gesture poses. Keep up the greater work, please.

However, one of standing poses, from the second image, has an unnaturally huger head, and a more unnaturally vestigial head. Would you like to consult your head guidelines for proportions online or in books or both, then do a 5 minute study of that drawing, using that guideline in mind? As a result, your likeness will become more believable if you'd really use the 7 heads high chart, more or less, unless it's more deliberate choice for your cartooning of your realism in anatomy. For even more info and details, check out this video below.

Hope this video has been completely and totally helpful and educational.
