Sorry you two! I took a hefty break from this site because another was demanding my absolute full attention. I'm back and have some new things planned, the first of which should be coming out very shortly. :)

Unfortunately, we just have not had enough members to fund big new photoshoots, often, but I've been saving and planning.

Hi, sorry about that! It's pretty rare that we get hit with such a spam storm. This website is run by an *extremely* tiny team. I was out yesterday (Sunday) and horrified to see it all when I came back. I've deleted the spam posts and users now. Hopefully it'll be months before we see bots that intrepid again. :)

Can you say more about "it always pushes it back by an 1 and a half"?

Hey Snowrobin - try checking out our interactive tutorial for a sense of what you "should" be accomplishing in a 30 second interval (or less!)

Setting your expectations correctly and knowing what it is that you're trying to learn through those exercises should help a lot. :)

I'm so sorry to hear this!!

I just pushed a patch that I hope will make setting the goal to 0 possible. Hopefully I haven't blown anything else up in the process. ;)

Thank you, this is excellent feedback! :)

So sorry to hear you're having more problems Birdie! But good for you for making sure your health comes first. We'll still be here when your body does feel ready to cooperate. :)

How embarrassing! thank you very much for the report. I think I've fixed it now; please let me know if you have any further trouble with purchasing a gift card (or anything else that's not working properly, really!)

Hi Ian,

You can cancel whenever you want. :)

If you don't want to be auto-charged at all, you can also go the route of purchasing yourself a gift code to apply to your own account. :)

Hi Brookaford!

To get a sense of what you should be doing in 30 seconds, take 15 minutes to go through our interactive drawing tutorial :) We tried really hard to make it clear what the super short exercises are for and how they can help your drawing journey: https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

Welcome to the site! :)

Oh wow, already improvement in terms of learning value for these sketches!! Way to go!!

Also, thank you so much for becoming a subscriber to give back to LoA <3 <3 People like you make continued work on the site possible.

Hi Birdie!

Have you perchance tried our on-site interactive tutorial about gesture drawing? :) It tries very hard to give you an impression of what "landmarks" to aim for at different time lengths of gesture: https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

It sounds like your main goal here is to gain enough control over your hand that it more routinely does what you are asking of it. This is a very good goal, and also enough of a goal. It is okay if the pictures you make don't look like much for awhile. That said, they do look better than you think. Keep up with this consistent practice! Try not to let frustration burn you out! You are steadily improving and will continue to do so!

Welcome to the site! :)

I'm not totally sure what happened there yet -- when I went poking around, it seemed like it was only accepting about 1/4 of the reports it was getting about practice times. As I poked around, it seemed to resolve. I don't think I changed anything. I will continue poking in hopes I can figure out what caused it so we can take action to prevent it happening again.

Ab2qj - You should have your streak back, please direct message me if you do not.

EmeraldBoa - Since you mentioned specific times, I've tried to add those back in for you as well.

Thank you so much to everyone who posted here!
