Ok Kim, here is the here, and this image in case you didn't see this link.

You see what I'm saying and do you see what I mean?

I don't know, but I could've been blocked by somebody, for no good reason.

Have a nice afternoon and love you.

To Whom It May Concern,

I was looking through the sketchbook again, when 6 pages are all completely empty. Please what can we do?

Good luck and have a nicer evening.

Good evening, Fincov, and welcome to Line of Action, and I'm Polyvios, but how are you? Say, in order to get some greater tips on how to draw hands, then I suggest to look into This link here, and here. Hope both of these help.

Good morning again, soda, and I think that your figures and faces are well-articulated in terms of lines, spaces, and relationships, but I feel that I can be sharp enough about this, therefore, these gestures all don't look or seem intuitive enough to me. How would you like to speed up harder and loosen up your dominant & non-dominant hands with 10 minutes of 30 second faces and figures and such with either hand?

The reason why you would and could free up your pair of hands ambidextrously is because of the whole, entire point of quick speed sketches and gestures to make your sketches and pictures less stiffer and more than fluid in the organic mess of the perception of edges all the way down to the perception of the gestalt. As Chuck Jones put it:

We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us - the sooner we get them out, the better

Hope this tip and trick have helped you out, and I hope you'll care about the process over product.

Good evening, Drab Green Rabbit and welcome to Line of Action. I'm Polyvios, Polyvios Animations and how are you doing tonight?

Say, I'm really loving so much on how looser and faster you've drawn your figure drawings and gesture sketches. And what's specifically is that your gestural poses are a lot more looser and bolder and broader in the strokes, which is basically the point of gesture drawing.

So, if I could honestly nitpick your quickest sketches, I would and could say you're having some problems or two on how to loosen up your lines of action and lines of rhythm in your broadest attitudes. How would you like to work ambidextrously with 5 minutes of 30 second sketches for either hand, just to free up your shoulders. The reason is because of the saying:

We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us-the sooner we get them out, the better.

Chuck Jones-Warner Bros. Animation Director of Termite Terrace

So to further prove my point, please check out these two videos from YouTube.

Let's hope these have helped you out so much.

Good night.

Good evening Kapahab, and greatest job on your range of motion and mood and anatomy and silhouetes and relationships, but I'm need to see and want to see even more ultimate confident lines of action and the broadest strokes. How would you please like to do some 30 minutes of 30 second sketches of figures, 30 minutes for the dominant hand, and 30 minutes for your non-dominant hand.

The reason why you could and would and should do this drawing exercise is because of two things or so: 1) to get you to think about observation in drawings. and 2) to get the broadest and funniest feeling with your caricatures and exaggerations in figures and such. For furthest influence and inspiration for your gesture drawing applications, look this up, it can really and ultimately help you out.

Good luck and I hope this has totally and absolutely benefited you and your studies.

Good morning, Bi Tronic Colarice, and welcome aboard, I'm Polyvios and how do you do this noontime? Say, in order to best possibly explain this issue with gesture drawing with an emphasis on scenes and environments, you'd go for the gesture drawing exercise for your environments, just like you would with figures and such. Here are some visual examples.

This images are directly lifted from John K. Stuff blogger, and this images give a very great idea visually on what I'm trying to mean about gesture drawing for compositions (environments). What I mean is that if you could see these images by blurring out the most complicated forms and details, and the most simplistic gestures, you'd be able to feel your way through flow and action lines in the backgrounds, and on the characters as combined in these scenes, and so on. If you'd really like to do this suggestion, then I'd love to see your 30 second exercises of these images suggested to you, then photograph digitally these and post them against your studies, as you can see the hint of this statement.

Thanks and have a great rest of the week.

Good evening, Jerber, and welcome aboard to line of action, I'm Polyvios Animations and how are you? I must do say that your shortest and longest studies are looking like you've done the greatest job as you could, but you're definitely have lots of room for improvement.

Just as what Ontevreden, then if you are looking forward to some of the most highest standards that you could and would reach, then you can and will look into this link on head shapes here. It's from John K. Stuff, the oldest blog for artists, animators, cartoonists and creatives and entertainers available. For example, there's some of Basil Wolverton (MAD) who did the funniest but ugliest faces and the zaniest abstractions featured in that link there, because we could use those for gesture drawing inspiration. If you could warm-up to those sketches, then I suggest you give them all you've got.

Hope this thing helps you out so much.

Hey Teekonu, and welcome to Line of Action, I'm Polyvios Animations and how are you? Greatest job as I have seen so far on your hands, feet, and figures in the link above, and however, I'd seen your Megamind doodle, but great line confidence and some motion in that one, too.

So, in order to make your drawing, and it needs a little bit of improvement, then would you kindly free up your hands with 10 minutes of 30 second hands, feet, and your understanding of figures and Dreamworks and other animated characters in lines of action in contrasts of sizes and shapes?

As a result, as I've said above, your drawings and cartoons will get to be the least stiffest and the most dynamic, alive, and internally motivated in the lines. Good night and I hope you've found this current goal helpful on the longest run.

I would.

Hello Tannaysart, and welcome aboard to line of action, and how do you do tonight? Greatest job on your range of human proportions, anatomy, and most importantly the organic lines of action. But, I'm not getting enough of the organic proportions and shapes and sizes. How would you like to do 30 minutes of 2 minute poses? As a result, your relationships will become the least stiffest and actually spontaneous like the real rubber hose cartoons of the oldest.

Hope this helps out, but please look into some Milton Knight drawings and Bill Nolan Animaiton reels to study from. So, hope this has totally helped and inspired you and good night to you.

Good evening, Yokurt and welcome aboard to our website, I'm Polyvios Animaitons and how are you doing tonight?

OK, listen, I'm here for two reasons, first of all, greatest, greatest job on rendering your feet and legs in terms of form and perspective with the fewest amount of lines, and second that most of them look or seem alright, except for the first drawing, as the first pair of feet in the first standing nude of the first sketch appears to be floating in the least dynamic way. Kindly free up your hands with 2 59 second drawings of figures and feet with a custom timer. The reason why is because to make your observation and caricature of feet the least stiffest, and the most solidest, fluidest, most alive, and the most motivated from the soul in dynamics. For most info, look into a PDF set of images of the Eliot Goldfinger human anatomy book in Archive.org.

Hope this helps out and my hat's off to you and good night and have the greatest week.

Hello Chromatic, and welcome aboard to Line of Action, and I'm Polyvios Animations and how are you? Say, where can I see your latest drawings and sketches and paintings, so that you can document where you're shooting off from? Good night, and have the greatest thanksgiving.

I'd love to join! 😀

Good morning, Elixinator, and welcome aboard to Line of Action (Formerly Artists.Pixelovely.Com), I'm Poly, and how are you today?

I've looked and studied all of your sketches and it seems or looks that the gestures read completely and totally on the right track. (And so are some silhouettes and proportions and angles) Great job on your first Imgur post! Yet, I'm not getting enough of those warmed-up lines of action and rhythm in those attitudes. How would you like to go for 4 minutes of 30 second attitude sketches? As a result your lines of action and rhythm and balance will become even more loosest and lightest, if you'd cut down the brush opacity to 30-40% tops, tops!

Great luck to you, and I hope this trick helped you out in the longest run! 😉
