This is a great construction technique and you are doing it well.

The next step is to try to loosen up your lines and to do that try emmulating the oval volume technique you see how Michelangelo and DaVinci drew. Little curves to outline the shape.

It appears that you are focusing on full gesture drawing and that is really a good way to go.

I am not sure if you are drawing from a live model or photos.

My one thought is this, you are drawig with lines which is a great place to start.

Possibly try holding your pencil or charcoal underhanded. You'll start to draw with you whole arm.

If you want to chat about what I'm putting here email me at todd@mediaspiders.com

We have drawing group that meets a few times a week to draw from live models.

I can share what I've learned.
