I do have a tendency to just rush and put something that kinda resembles the figure on drawing on the page and the pick an individual body part and refine it i'm satisfied with it, or I don't know how to fix it.

I'll try and focus on looking at my figure as on complete thing and not just a couple of body parts that make it up.

Thanks a bunch for your critique and advice

Yeah my lines of action could definitely use some work. Recently I had been drawing lines of action as "spines" and they'd more often than not resemble elongated S's. Then I did some reading on here and found out that's the exact opposite of what a line of action is supposed to look like.

I felt pretty dumb afterwards. but now I can finally practice it the right way.

I appreciate you taking time out of your day to critique my "high quality" art. I'll take your advice and focus on learning to crawl before I challenge Usain Bolt to a race.

Also, you pretty much hit the nail on the head when it came to describing the order I started drawing the figure in.

EDIT: Oh yeah I forgot, I've been gesture drawing for 8 days now and I mostly focus on class mode for 30 minutes, I normally switch between people and hands and occasionally I'll draw 10 thirty second sketches of whichever one I didn't just draw and sometimes if i'm up for it i'll draw 10 faces with the same time limit.
