Good evening, Devil Darlinqq, this is Polyvios Animations, how are you doing tonight? I love how much of the cartooniness and expression you've got into your simplified faces and expressions. Great work on our first ever attempts into your sorta realistic faces and heads.

Where are the quick broadest strokes in your heads and expressions? They can an extremely important asset to your drawings of the figures, especially your realistic and believable expressions. Loosen up your arm with 5 minutes of 30 second warm-ups, please. Because your expressions will be more convincing in your fluidity and life and solidity. And to answer your question, check out this link right here.

Good luck and my hat's off to you. Good night. Sweet dreams.

Good morning, Pastabrother, how are you doing this morning? I love so much on how much vitality and energy you've got going in your caricature and exaggeration of the poses and gestures. So far so great. I love how much fluidity and life and intrinsic motivation you'd gotten pent up into your poses. Very, very, very, VERY great job indeed. Push yourself.

I love how much of the bone structure in your anatomy in your female semi-nude figure in underwear, but I think, really, where is the skeleton? Would you kindly loosen up your skeleton practice with 5 minutes of 30 second skeleton images, all flipped vertically? Your right side of the brain could be obviously applied to your quicker studies in your gestures of the anatomy. There's more! Your skeletal structures will be able to get more looser and evern more stylized. For more help into your anatomy inspiration, look this up, it can help you out very much.

Great luck and great practicing out of your artist's block.

Good evening to you, GlitchyGoats, I'm Polyvios, how are you? I must really, really, really, really love how much of the simplistic construction of the head and body and the strongest lines of action and rhythm. Great range of expression and movement.

I love your flow and organicness of those poses, but the forms aren't too solid enough to me and the figure's construction and negative spaces need some more finessing. Please free up your hand and solidify the forms and details with a 5 minute pose flipped horizontally? Your perceptions will be amped up a little bit more in your edges and shapes in the pose's construciton and silhouette. Not to mention the fact that your lines of action will work with your anatomy just a little bit more. For more details, be sure to look into the Bridgman compilation book, and the Action Cartooning book on our page. To speed up your learning curve, here's this here link on the original Preston Blair book from 1947.

Good luck to you, and I hope these have helped you out so much.

Well, thank you for response, but by bland, I mean less exaggerated, less human, and less specific than real people's noses. Everyone's noses look completely different in real life, and in really old caricatures and new caricatures. Here's the link to click on, to really, totally prove my case. Hope this absolutely helps you out.

Good morning, Ji-Sung, how are you? First of all, greater job on your nose studies. Very harder work and dedication indeed, I see. And second of all, greater use of solid drawing and gesture sketching on your noses from all angles. Very, very, very greater job.

However, here's my more interesting spin on this more than constructive suggestion: Most of the times, the noses seem or appear a little too even and blander in them. Especially in drawings 2,6,7,17,20, as well as, 21, and of course, 35. Would you kindly free up your shoulder with an online interactive drawing tutorial of faces and expressions, figures, too? The real reason why is because, as a result, you'd much more better familiarize yourself with the fundamentals quick sketching and gesture drawings in general. If you really need to get to know the fundamentals of caricature and exaggeration, then, just as Lorelei recommended,look into this link: Proko Caricatures.

Good luck to you and your longer journey of drawing caricatures and gesture caricatures.

Good morning, hello, Ji Sung. This is Polyvios, Polyvios Animations, how are you doing this morning? Great job on our stylization of your eye anatomy, particularly with your eye skeletal and muscle structures. I think that stylization is really great, if you know your fundamentals well. Your gestures look absolutely gorgeous so much. But if you keep on imitating other styles ahead of time, you run the risk of becoming a second-insert-artist-name-here.

So, if I could really give you some really constructive criticism, though I may not be the greatest in giving you some solid advice, then I love how much solid drawing you're getting into the eyes, then your motions look or seem a little bit too stiff or rigid. Would you like to loosen up your elbow with 5 minutes of 30 second eye doodles? (10 eye drawings)

The reason why you could and would go for this little suggestion is because, first of all, it can and will help you get in sync with your right side of the brain. Second of all to make your eyes less undertured and more exaggerated, caricatured and satirized in the character's thoughts and feelings. Here's the link to click on. My hat's off to you, and good drawing practicing.

To answer you question: Yes, I really do think that some of the figures you've posted are totally stiff and broken. What I completely think that you should focus on is that way you draw organic flowing drawings and poses of your models, especially your figure drawings. Thanks your your response. so, please take it easy for the night. Happy practicing.

Good evening to you, Eshlost, I'm Polyvios Animations, I'm greater, how are you doing tonight? Greater job on your range of movements and motions of your gestures and mannekin constructions. Keep up the greater jobs indeed.

Meanwhile, here's my one smaller, tinier, and littler constructive criticism. I love your broad lines of your animation drawings, but they could use a little bit more pushing and plussing in the action and acting. Kindly free up your non-dominant hand with your first-ever, if you really haven't already, 1 hour class mode consisting of figure poses. Question: did you really just do your 1.5 hour class?

Fast forward to my constructive critique is because, to make your drawings the less stiffer and more gutsy, more organic and flowy. For more info, be sure to look into some gesture drawing for animation Youtubes.

Good evening, Fezz635, I'm Polyvios, how are you doing tonight? Greater job on both your sketches and your painting. Greater range of tones and gestures and proportions. Keep up the greater work. Move forward.

However, I'm giving one smaller bit of constructive cirticism. I love how much shadows and lights you've got into your human figures, but the shadows seem that you've scribbled them in too much. Please plan out the graphic shapes of the lights and shadows of the figures. And while you're at it, practice your lights and tones with simple primitives with your desk lamp, if you have one in your home. If you want to do that suggestion, then I truly suggest you do it. The reason, so that simple forms are more easier to grasp on perceiving your values, tones and colors. For more details, then websurf some tutorials on mapping out your tones in your drawings and sketches. Hope these help you out very well for a long shot.

Good morning, nandopaath, it's me, Polyvios, and I'm a student animator and cartoonist. Doing great, how are you? Say, I love so much on how much a light touch you've got going for your 30 second and 1 minute poses. Greater job on those. And as for the longer poses from 5-30 minutes, I say way to go on your forms and proportions and angles.

In the meantime, here's one smaller, littler suggestion. I love so much action and animation you've got going in your shorter warm-ups, but some of the shapes and lines in your more longer attitudes look or seem a bit too conservative to me. Would you kindly accentuate your hips and pelvises in your three drawn nudes, in 5 minutes in each pose? And as for your quick animation figures, please liven and animate your sketches with 14 minutes of 2 minute rough attitudes?? As a result, your gestures in your hips and pelvises will become more bolder and direct; and your lines of action and rhythm will become more gutsier than you've drawn them for the very first time. For more info on gesture drawing, I'd highly recommend the Youtube videos on quick sketching by Drawn Animator, Tonika Pantoja, and many, many more.

My hat's off to you, and happy sketching.

Good evening, gelatingem, it's me, Polyvios. I love how much range of gestures and emotion in your poses you've drawn. I completely love how much forms, spaces, silhouettes, proportions, perspective, and anatomy and tones you've got going so far in your long poses. Way to go, and keep up the good work.

My tiny little suggestion is that your quick gestures look and/or seem a bit too cluttered in the warm-up poses, otherwise, they're very lively and appealing. Would you please loosen up your dominant and non-dominant hands with 15 minutes of 29 second fast poses? (60 seconds x 15 minutes=900 seconds/29 second poses=ruffly 31 quick sketches of poses) The reason is so that your gesture sketches will have the stronger possible lines of action and lines of rhythm. For more info, be sure to look into Proko on Youtube, and this video below.
