Thanks for the input, good tip ! I'll keep it in mind.

I think you dont have a good enough understanding of the head features. I recommand that you have a look at some videos explaining the different proportions and measurements that help a lot at this exercice.

Another thing : you seem to draw directly the "finish" state of the picture. You should first learn the different measurements and proportions, then draw by constructing the head using simple shapes, than refined those simple shapes into more detailled versions.

Hope that helped, keep working and you can't do nothing but improve !

I did the exercice of 30' gesture capture. I realise now that I have some issues understanding the action line for the torso in some positions. Do you have any tips to find the action line easily ?

You can see in the following link the work i did :

I guess I should just practice more and it will come naturally, but in case I did some huge mistake I prefer to post it so that someone can have a look :)

Hey, thanks for the comment, really appreciate it.

This makes sense, dont worry. I already read those articles and more, I think I pretty much get it in my head, but I still need practice to put them down on paper (or rather on computer). I have some problems with the size of the different body part, I guess I should take time to re learning it again.

Currently, I'm watching http://www.proko.com/ which explain things really well.

It is true though I didn't spent much time on the 30' drawing ... I'll try to stick to the simpliest form of the body to capture the proportions in my mind.

Lately I tried experimenting with "the bean" and I think I already improved a lot. Check it for yourself : http://dhaimadoshi.tumblr.com/post/93119517326

Please tel me what you think :)

(note : thumblr doenst necessary post the pictures in chronologic order

I did published a tumblr billet in order to be easier to browse the different pictures. Also add some other ones I did so far. Please point out any reccuring mistake I would not be aware of.

There's the link :

These are dont in 2 minutes for the most, some took me a few more to get right but never more than 5.

Well, they arent perfect by any means, and I think the crouched position is the hardest to get right ..

Although, I'am not sure what you mean by floppy.

Thanks for the compliment btw !

Hello,

Little presentation of myself : Name's Nicolas, I am 24 and will going for artistic studies this year. I've been interested into art for a long time and as I am going for improve myself with the studies I'd like to really nailed it. So I try to practice a lot more these days. I think I'm starting to be better at gesture drawing, but obviously I am still a freshman ... I'd like to have some critics, I m sure there are plenty of mistakes...

Every drawings as been done in less than 2 minutes and the focus is on capturing the energy of the pose.

Thanks for having a look at my work and many more thanks for trying to help me out.
