Say, Platospace, those drawings are doing a great job on show force, form, weight, balance, and asymmetry in lines, shapes, and spaces indeed! You know what I'd love to recommend? Loosening up your lightest lines, shapes, and spaces to strengthen up your drawing appeal and balance.

As a result, for instance, if you'd offset the high points of your angles and curves, then your eyes will be forced to see through them in your designed pose.

Hope you've found this very tip extremely encouraging.

Good evening, Sydney, and welcome back to LOA, and how are you today?

So, in order to help you out into your transition to your figure drawing session, I'd suggest you could do 5 minutes of 30 second quick poses, so that 1, you could go for the strong gestural lines, and 2, you'd go for more into the spirit of the forces, forms and attitudes.

Good luck to you and your transition, and have a swell afternoon.

Good morning, Eunlan, and welcome back to Line of Action, I'm Polyvios Animations and how are you?

My is your Tumblr post of images dead and gone? Please repost them on your Imgur account.

Let's hope you found this concrete and helpful.

Hey matthew, and welcome aboard, I'm Polyvios and how are you? I just can't have any access to your images you've posted in 2014. Please post them all on Imgur.

Hope this has been concrete,

Good evening, Bonita, I'm Polyvios Animations and how do you do? Greatest job on your range of exaggeration of poses and gestures, kinda like WB Animator, Manny Gould.

However, there's still not enough of the exaggeration and satire in the graphically organic shapes, spaces and lines in the poses in those links. Why don't you please free up your shoulders and elbows with 10 minutes of 2 minute poses of figures from photos, life, and of course, the video to Manny Gould's animations, which I haven't studied yet, but I could.

As a result, if you could do frame-by-frame in this video here, then you'd get an idea on how Manny made his drawings move for that studio before and after, in scenes for guys like McKimson and Clampett. 1) You could analyse for mechanics, you could analyse for performance. 2) You could go for both at the same time.

Funny thing, too, but originally Manny was gonna be interviewed by animation historian Milt Grey, but he up and died on Milt & us. Bummer, but he had such an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience, but we'll never know, unless we can and will study every and any scene he'd done in his whole, entire career to figure them out for ourselves, see?

Getting back to the effect of the suggestion, if you do these suggested above, your lines, shapes, poses and gestures will become less stiffer and more caricatured and pushed.

Good luck to you and your progress.

Hi there, 1996musiclover, I'm Polyvios and how are you doing tonight? Looking forward to having a great equal partnership because I'm looking forward to expand into drawn animated filmmaking.

Currently, I'm finding some spare time to work on my two personal films of mine. The book trailer for my picture book, and my student film from Haverhill, MA and Salem, MA.

I'm doing fine, and how are you?

I see the work you've done so far, Parmilla, and I see that you've got the flow and rhythm and tempo going in those graphic shapes and lines of these figures. Keep going.

Yet, I'm still not getting enough of the exaggerated and caricatured, and satirized grace and flow of the shapes and lines. Would you also kindly free up your poses and lines of action and acting with 1 hour of 30 second scribbly poses, and 1.5 hour of those drawings? As a result, your poses will become the more dynamic, lively and spontaneous acting and animation, whether or not you dream of being an animator, then I'd recommend it. (so that you don't pay too much attention to the details, and more into the straghts and curves) Practice makes better progress and the best. If you really need some more inspiration, watch here.

Cheers to you, and good night on your progresses.

Actually, Kim, I had the add-on that blocks Amazon ad links called DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, so I had to shut it off. I can turn it back on at any time at all. So rest easy, Kim.

Good night.

Sorry, you lied, not on my MacBook Pro. Can you please make sure that Amazon takes action or is it just my MacBook Pro 13.3" Mid-Late 2015?

To Whom It May/Might Concern,

What bugs me tonight is that all of the Amazon book images are all gone, while I'm using my Google Chrome on my macOS Monterey. Please fix this problem.

Your biggest fan,

Thanks, Johnny Boy, but by singular line stroke, I mean in one stroke, symbolically and also literally, which is what I do. I'm not saying it works for everybody, it just really works for me. If you wanna see what I mean by singular line strokes, just look at my sketchbook, please.

And when it comes to zooming in and out of your CSP canvas, that means it can be whatever works for you, but sometimes, it can be a crutch for some artists, it has been a trap, so take what you will, for I'm not much of an expert nor master of digital art. If you wanna learn a new habit or two, kindly time yourself for a 30 second sketch without too much zooming in, so that you could free up your whole shoulder more.

BTW, what kind of device are you using at that point? Hope you can take the time to answer back.

Thank you and have a nice morning.

Good afternoon, Johnny Small Boy, and welcome aboard, I'm Polyvios and how are you this afternoon?

So, I've been looking at your gestures, and I'm seeing a lot of drive and initiative in your light lines of action and lines of rhythm in each and every one of these poses. I feel like that you could make a great drawn animator. As you may know, gesture drawing is well-connected to art, cartooning, illustration, and most importantly, animation.

Upon looking at your drawings in every and any angle, I'm not getting enough of the singular line sketches in your lines of rhythm and tempo in your drawn poses. Would you please work more and more from your elbow or shoulder with 30 minutes of 30 second quick sketches of figures and your animals? (Not to mention the ones featured in this Disney PDF link.)

As a result, if your gestures of your figures and animals, if your goal is to polish and refine the gutsier gestures by making them less stiff, and more fluid and lively, then this will be your very-first-ever goal right here. Despite Disney being focusing in mostly CGI, then you could just make some animation tests for your demo reel, if you would like to desire this.

Sorry if that was too impractical, but, I hope this has been totally useful and important.

Hello there and good afternoon, Nazu Naart, and welcome back to our website. I'm Polyvios, Polyvios Animations and how are you? I just have to say that I love how much gesture, cartooniness and weight in the poses. Great job on all of those things so far, so far, so great. But, I'm not getting enough of the exaggerated poses and not enough of the exaggerated gestures. Would you love to work for loosest and liveliness in the cartoon drawing with 1 hour of 1 minute (60 second) attitudes?

The reason why you could and should do this exercise of 1 minute (60 second) drawings is because, you would and could go for less stiffest forms and spaces, and the most dynamic, vital and most energetic poses, hands, feet, and faces and expressions. For furthest details, be sure to look up this link. It can help and inspire you on your quick sketching exercises and practices.

Hope this has helped you out the best!!
