Hello, and good evening to you, georgiapettus, I'm Polyvios. I'm finest, how are you doing tonight? I love how you've got started out on your baby figures. Great work on your gestures and construction and edges of your babies very much. But, I've got one smallest problem. Some or most of them look or seem a bit too stiffest to me. Please would you kindly loosen up your tightest babies with a 2 minute study of an infant? As a result, your young'un's gesture will become the least stiffest as a board and the most loosest and free-est in your broadest strokes for your children. To look up more baby photos, be sure to look into your personal baby photo album for inspiration, or look them up on your search tool.

Hope these helped and benefited you so much.

Hello and good evening. I'm Polyvios Animations. How many time limits are in the aforementioned class mode? Please and good night.

Howdy, ViciousPony! Good afternoon, I'm Polyvios, how are you?! Sorry if I was a little too excited in my tone. Anyways, great job on your fluency and organicness of the lines and shapes. Way to go. I've got one small recommendation: I love how much freedom with a softer pencil, but I'm not getting enough of the rounded cartooniness in the poses. Would you please free yourself up with a wax crayon, like Crayola, with a 15 minute session of 29 second quick attitudes? (900 seconds/29 seconds=about 31 quick sketches) The reason why you could go ahead with this suggestion is because it can make your fluency more funky and looser in your sketching and your hands. For more details, be sure to look at this link right here: https://www.deviantart.com/damaimikaz/art/Sketchdump-February-2017-Dynamic-poses-665493616

Good luck, and I hope this link helps you out more.

Hello and good evening, frankthegoblin, I'm Polyvios. How are you? Great job on your figure sketches, with their economy of statements and their quick range of expression. Way to go.

I've got one small recommendation: I love how much movement you've got on your forces and forms, but they're not too exaggerated enough. Would you please work loosely and quickly with a 2 minute pose, with a crayon. The two reasons or more why you could do this suggestion is because, your lines will be nearly impossible to overwork. And furthermore, to make your figures more exaggerated and free in your lines of forces. Good luck to you. Here's the following quote:

Go as far as you can go, and then go farther.

Art Babbitt.

My hat's off to you, and good luck to you.

Hello and good evening, Esop, I'm Polyvios. I'm greater. How are you doing tonight? Greater job on your fluid poses, your construction, your lines of action, and your solider primitives. Keep up the greatest work.

But there's one smaller problem. The forms look or seem a bit too tighter and too rigid to me, but some of the arms are a bit too inconsistent in length. Would you kindly take all of your figure drawings, mirror them, and correct the arms in some of them, making them look more believable in those bodies. And furthermore, would you like to kindly go for a tremendous drill of 1 hour's worth of 1 minute sketched poses? For more details, see that Shamus Culhane book on Quick Sketching Section. The reasons are because, first of all, to make your perspectives on your bodily anatomy all the more fresher. And last of all, to make your forms the least geometric, and more organic, alive, and natural looking and feeling, especially if you're using solid primitives.

Good luck to you on your journey, and my hat's off to you and it.

Hello and good evening, J-dawg, I'm Polyvios. How are you? Fine, and you? Greatest work on your forms, forces, and anatomies you've got going so far at this time. I've got one smallest and miniscule criticism. I love how much flow in the bones and muscles of your anatomy, but they seem or look a bit too stiffest, too mechanical, and too mathematical and not enough organicness. Would you kindly loosen up both your hands, if we haven't already with your very first 1 hour figure drawing class now. If in doubt, Here's this link right 'cheer.

As a result, your forms, proportions, gestures and anatomy will be able to be the least stiffest and tremendously spontaenous, dynamic, energetic, fluid, vital, and lively. For further details, please pick up and check out a copy of the Michael Hampton book for the gesture drawing practice and the Frank Netter Anatomy book for quick sketch practice. Cheers, my hat's off to you, and greatest luck.

Hello and good morning, zxding, it's me, Polyvios Animations, I'm doing a bit too iffy, how are you? Greatest and strongest job on our 1 1/2 hour session of faces and expressions. Strongest job on your forces of faces, anatomy and proportions and tones of faces. Way to go, and Keep 'em up!

My biggest critique to me, is that some of the faces are a bit farther too hard to read too scribblier. Would you kindly be more crueliest and boldest with your lines and graphic shapes and forms and forces of expressions with 1 hour class of faces and expressions? So that because, your facial anatomy will become the least choppiest in lines, and the most quickest and appealing in lines, and the facial structures and facial economy will be all the more recognizable in all angles. My hat's off to you and your goals. Good morning.

Hello and good evening, ladyjade, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Polyvios. I'm fine, how are you? Say, you're doing a great job on your lines of action and caricature, but the cartooning and caricature is percolating as we speak. Not enough caricature and exaggeration and burlesque. Would you please push yourself and your figure drawings with 30 minutes of 30 second quick sketches in 6 days? (60 sketches x 6 days=360 sketches)

So that your speed and satires will become the most looser and more charming as much as or more than Fred Moore. For more details, be sure to look into Deviant Art, Pinterest and Proko for gesture drawing tutorials and books. Good luck and I hope these help, encourage and benefit you.

Hi and good morning, dilandoubishop. How are you? I'm fine and you?? Say, great job on your quick face and expression sketches. Way to go on your quickness and looseness of the drawings and more expression of the lines and shapes. You know, I've got one small request: I love the animation of those particular quick sketches, but I'm not getting enough of the simplicity and cartoon-like quality to them. Would you kindly go for 2 more hours of 29 second quick heads and expressions? (custom timer; 7200 seconds/29 seconds=roughly 248 scribbly poses of heads) The reason why you could and should go ahead with it good is because, to help make your expressive gestures of expressions the least stiffest and the most dynamic, energetic, expressive and liveliest. For more details, look into the Proko Head drawing and gesture drawing vids on youtube. Not to mention, this link.

Good luck to you and I hope these help and benefit you entirely.

It's OK, Kuvia. So please use those two phrases next post. Upon looking at your 2 minute light-touch sketches, they look light to me, but not that light enough. Would you please be able to decrease your practice time by 30 seconds?

The reason why would would and should be able to decrease your practice time by 30 secs is because you could be able to get more out of your forces, your forms and details with lesser amount of time. For further info, be sure to check out this video down there.

The less time you spend on a drawing, the least likely you'll burn out.

Good luck to you, and I hope this helps you out so much. Thank you.

Say, Ehfuy, hello and good evening. Would you please make a link to your images, on your Google files, or something?

Hello and good afternoon, Aitorsio. I'm Polyvios. Say, I really love how quick and slicker how all of your 1-minute figures are, and how much of a greatest job you're doing with all of the fundamentals of drawing with as fewest lines as possible. Way to go!

Question: Are these for your portfolio? What kind of portfolio is it? Is it for drawn animation or whatever? So that you could have a specific portfolio.

My bigger critique is that some of the poses, particularly the one standing with the legs spread out more apart is not looking or seeming flexible and plastic enough to me. Would you care to free up your non-dominant hand with 30 minutes of 30 second pure contour drawings of nude and non-nudes? (60 blind contours) The reason why is because you'd be able to get more out of your hand-eye coordination, and to get your hands in movement.

For further info, be sure to look up the Betty Edwards books on our Amazon pages, not to mention the Walt Stanchfield books. All in all, go with what works best for you concretely. Cheers to you, and I hope these tips've helped you out by a longer shot.

Hello, and good morning/noon/evening, hojicha. Great job on your quicker gesture drawings for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Way to go, please keep it up.

My tiny, littlest suggestion is that you're using lines that are way too choppiest with too much use of your wrist. Would you like to go for 10 minutes of 29 second drawings, (about 21 drawings) using your elbow and shoulder? The reason is because your lines will become smoother and the most confident. For more details, be sure to look at the Proko videos on gesture drawings. So check this out.

Hope this helps, supports and benefits you and me.

Hello, bislie.

Say, I must think that your figures and expressions are completely on the right track. Great job on your forces and forms of the faces and bodies. Way to go. Keep it up.

Piggybacking on what somebody had to say, is that gesture drawing is not about the forms and details, it's about the forces. My biggest and total criticism or two is that some of the nude/semi-nude's forces and facial expression forces are a bit too rigid or stiffest. Would you like to work with black chalk on the sides, with 30 minutes of 30 second faces, and 30 minutes of 1 minute (60 second) bodies of various dress? The reason why you could, should and would do this exercise is because, as long as you work with those chalks from your elbow/shoulder, then your facial and life structures will become the most spontaneous, fluidest, and liveliest you could make. And if you really want to look into most info, I would recommend looking into Pinterest, and real life.

Thanks for listening and reading. Hope these help you out.

Hello and good afternoon, rpk.

I'm really enjoying looking at your first-ever 30 second rough attitudes. Great job on showing the lines of action, balance and rhythm. WAY TO GO!

I'm thinking is that though your lines of action have been rapidly identified well in 30 seconds, but I'm not getting enough of a sense of give and life to them. Would you be OK if you did 6 minutes of 29 second poses, on our custom timer? (360 seconds/29 seconds="ruffly" 12 poses) The sense behind this is because, you'll get to work out your lines of action even more quickly than your 30 second poses; more or less. For more inspiration, click on this link. It can help you out on your current goal. It's OK if you'd scribble, because, it'll help you out for a reason and one reason only: to help you loosen up your lines of action. Hope this helps you out very much.
