Hi, Galiciabalerica, and welcome to Line of Action, and great job on recording your edges of your cow. I like how you made it look like a bovine critter, edges-wise. However, your work on it still seems too symbolic but too stiff. How would you like to go ahead with 15 minutes of 5 minute blind contours of bovines, followed by our interactive drawing tutorial here on our website?

As a result of the blind contours, as evidenced on the Nicolaides book The Natural Way to Draw, you can get more involved on drawing the subjects based on the senses of 'touching.'

The reason why you can and will go with our drawing tutorial is because, it will help you drawing quickly and therefore loosely with fast warmups, followed by a slow but careful 5 minute study in the end. (For lack of a better way to say it)

For more information, please be sure to pick up Drawing From The Artist Within, and Drawing From The Right Side of the Brain, The definitive 4th Edition and Workbook, and the former book I'd referenced. Please get these titles for the drawing exercises. They can and will be universally applied to your studies.

I hope you shall find these materials completely and totally helpful and concrete.

Welcome aboard, Antonalog. Greatest job on your static construction on your figural proportions, indeed. Way to go. But, the line quality seems too searching but sketchiest, to the point where you are trying your hardest to make the forces look too right.

If you are looking to improve your economy of statement thru lines, then I'd like to recommend some freeest courses like Proko.com, Virtual Instructor and more. Oh, and this link here, too, so that you'd get the bestest sense on where and how to handle this exercise.

Let's hope you've found these nicest but most helpful.

Sure thing, Aunt, but where is your study group? Please direct me to it, if I haven't joined but haven't really posted the link to me already??

Hello again, Icouldntthinkofaname, how are you? You know, to answer your question, what about reporting the spams to Kim of this website? Because, if you report those spams, then Kim and/or Sanne can help deal with those spams, if you just give them some time to deal with them. Or if that doesn't work, just report 10 more of them. Therefore, if that doesn't work, you can always report 100 more of them and so on, and so on, until spambots are NO MO'!

Hope you've found this answer totally concrete, and happy thanksgiving!🦃🍽

Me, too, to totally warm up!🔥🔥🔥

Good evening, Geirskogul, how are you?

Great job on your ranges of gesture, spaces, and proportions and angles, but I'm not totally satisfied with the rigidity of the poses yet. Why don't you just please loosen up most of your attitudes with 5 minutes of 30 second sketches?

If you loosen up your hands for figure studies, then your figures will become less stiff, but more dynamic, energetic, and fluid.

Hope this all makes sense,

Oh, Creativewitheliza, thank you.

Good morning, Tanner, and welcome to Line of Action. I'm Poly, and how are you doing today?

Nicer job on your looser lines of action and rhythm on your figure drawings. But, I'm taking too much issue on the hairier and rigider lines yet. How would you like to please try out our interactive drawing tutorial HERE?

The logic is as a result, your gesture drawings will become more looser but free-er but therefore observant for your myelins, or muscle memories.

For more details, look into this one video 👇.

Please take these with a grain of salt.

Good morning, Vinrey, and welcome aboard. My name is Polyvios Animations, and how are you?

You know, I really and totally think that your faces gestures and forces are all on the right track, but these all seem too stiffest, but farthest too rigidest yet. How would you like to please caricature and exaggerate your expressions for most expression with 5 minutes of 30 second facial expressions for most emotion in your lines.

The reason why you could and should try this thing out is because to make your heads, faces, and expressions the least timidest but totally emotional but expressive.

Take this with the littlest but smallest grain of salt.

Oh, Icouldntthinkofaname, even though I've never actually owned and read a copy of Understanding Comics, I will buy myself a copy of that someday, but as for your suggestions, they could and should be worth a try.

Thanks for the hints!

Hello and good morning, S Uw Ucidal, and welcome to Line of Action, I'm Polyvios, and how are you doing today?

Say, to answer your question, I think that you sound way too harder on yourself, but I feel that you could try loosening up your drawing basics again, if you really haven't already. How about trying out our interactive drawing tutorial on this website right here within a link.

The reason why you should and would go ahead with this is because, if you wanted to learn and relearn the basics of gesture drawing, then bring it on!

For even more than enough info, please be sure to download a free PDF of the Vilppu Drawing Manual, which, to my knowledge, is the more than foundational skill in life drawing and drawing in general. Good luck from all of us to you.;)

Hello, Ch1p Studies, and welcome to Line of Action. I'm Polyvios, and how are you doing today?

Sorry, I can't seem to click on the PDF link, because it doesn't work. Why don't you please try posting them onto your Imgur account, and thanks.

Hey, all!

Good morning, everybody, I was just wondering if Scott McCloud's aforementioned book has any benefits for people practicing figure drawing for gestural purposes for me, but I want to know what's your answers on this question.

Thanks, and have lots of fun practicing.

Please click here, but thanks.

Hello, C0baltist, and welcome aboard.

Say, I am so loving how much gesture you've poured into your organic forms of all of your animals, especially your fattest cat, cause it looks mostly like the most squished clay rectangle prism. It just so caricatures the feeling of lazying around the floor.

If I could give you the most solid feedback, it's that your cat looks like it's been drawn with most too many lines. Why don't you please loosen up your line economy with our interactive drawing tutorial here?

Ad a result of that interactive tutorial, your basic shapes and forms will be most quickly visualized the least geometrical but the most dynamic, energetic, but most liveliest in animation drawing of anything, EVEN ANIMALS!

For most details, kindly observe this book by Andrew Loomis, Successful Drawing and Fun With A Pencil.

Good luck, but let's hope these have been concrete.
