Dynamic Figure drawing by Burne Hogarth. George B. Bridgman is another good choice. I have used Hampton and its a very good book. FORCE by Michael D. Mattesi definitley is a must when it comes to Gesture drawing and to convincingly portray action and exaggeration. Any book will do as long as you stick with it and gain something from it. You could swtich from one to book to another. Good luck. Stay frosty.

I haven't drawn or practiced seriously for 4 years.

Figure Study 30 min class here on Line of action. I think I lost a lot of my skills. https://imgur.com/gallery/4SFRyLi

Here I will post my studies and drawings for critiquing and viewing. I haven't been posting lately due to working a lot. I want more time for art but I don't know the future or how things will turn out. Here is a batch I did yesterday

I have to say it was refreshing and different. No lie. I am tripping kinda hard. There is this green tint that sticks around. Anything green is super vibrant and be vibing. things are kinda vibing in and out. The music LXST CXNTURY just makes everything entertaining. I am thinking, why are these animals looking gangsta to me. The last 2 drawings, I shall name em gangsta horse and gangsta goose. Everything I draw ain't gonna be great but I'll at least have fun with it. Leave a comment and suggestions.

Here is a new batch of face drawings!

I can't even remember the facial muscles or the names of them. I am probably doing a lot of wrong things. But thats okay, i am getting closer to the truth. I like listening to LXST CXNTURY as i draw. I am slightly tripping right now so I haven't seen any affects yet. I will be right back and post what happens.

*edit fixed link hopefully*

Trying to get better with sketching before attempting digital again. If things progress, hell, I might even get a drawing monitor, maybe learn 3d modeling. I hope you guys understand how it feels to have a LARGE TO DO LIST and how many goals and milestones to reach when it comes to getting better. Welp, more coffee and more drawing. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Catch you guys later

Ignore the title "35 minutes worth of 30 sec drawings" in this forum. I am posting my drawing sessions, studies ect. Here. Also, I am not dead yet. I missed out on practicing because of work, Sword fencing, procrastination, sleep, depression, sickness ect. So don't be surprise if you don't see improvement because of the time gap. I'll try not to miss any more. Here are some stuff I forgot to post: https://imgur.com/a/WHs2ulU

comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Small update. Didn't draw much like I wanted. But been trying to get the hang of Bridgman's way of drawing peoples heads. Its...somewhat different from Andrew Loomis. And tried Loomis and failed. Anyway, here is the best drawing out of a 1 hour session. I'll try harder next time.
