Welcome back, Heirloomtomato, and welcome back. Say, I love how much movement, flow, and fluidity and forms you've put into your hands, feet, and figures. Great job on all of those. Please keep up the great work.

What I love about your figures, truly, is how much motion and organic drawing in your gestures, spaces, and relationships. They have a lot of spunk, as well as some panache. Greater job on your flow and fluidness in your lines. But however, these look too rigid to me. how would you like to go ahead with drawing while standing up while drawing on a 12x18 or 18x24 pad of newsprint or other paper, with 46 minutes of 2 minute poses, using your underhand, with your non-dominant hand?

But wait, there's more, what I absolutely adore about your hands and feet is totally how much flexibility and elasticity of your looser lines you've drawn into your hands and other appendages. Rock on! Still, they still seem too rigider to me. Would you like to go ahead with 3 minutes of 1 minute hand poses?

The reason why is because, your poses can and will be quickly sketched out as less stilted but more dynamic, energetic, but fluid. With tons of deliberate practice, you can and shall, and will improve and innovate with each new sketch. And if you're curious about more quick sketching, please look into Drawing from the Artist Within by Betty Edwards, for the ideation part.

Good luck from me.

Hi, Sandpit, and welcome to LOA. How are you? Nice job on your head references. I love the clear definition of forces, lines, spaces, shapes, as well as forms, and of course, the relationships. I think that it's great that you're positively on the right track, but I feel that these expressions need more loosening up. How would you like to please free up your hands with 30 minutes of 10 minute face poses?

As a result, your understanding of faces and expressions will soon become less timid but more creatively fearless in execution. For more details, please look into our library of Andrew Loomis books on our Recommended Books list, which are just links now, for you to click.

Our hats off to you.

Hello , heliganreigns, and welcome. Say, you're doing the greatest job on your strongest flow, fluidity and total plasticity of your lines of action and rhythm. I think that you've got what it takes, but I completely feel that the expressive lines aren't the most expressive yet. Would you care to please go ahead with 6 minutes of 30 second poses, using any drawing medium you've got?

The reason why you could still loosen yourself up the most is, so that your poses will become the most fluidest, flowing, and even liveliest and energetic. For most info, kindly look into the PDFs of the Walt Stanchfield series of drawing on Archive.org?

My hats off to you, and let's hope you've found these helpful but supportive.

Hello and good morning, Sadjersh, and welcome to Line of Action. I'm Polyvios, and how are you? Say, I think that your flow of the lines most clearly show, but I feel that the lines and shapes are not drawn too forceful enough yet, if not forced. Would you like to please just go ahead with 46 more minutes of 2 minute poses, using only your underhanded position, from your non-dominant hand? (23 sketches)

The reason why is because, your understanding of gesture drawing ideas(don't want to say rules; just saying ideas) will become the least forced but the most gutsiest, spontaneous and liveliest you've never drawn before. For most details, please look into all practice tips and tricks thru The Little Book of Talent(Daniel Coyle)

Let's hope they've been positively and absolutely concrete.

Thank you, Kim.

Hello, Kluwelyn, and welcome back. Say, way to go on your harder work on your drawing process of sketching out your figure relationships. I think that you are getting more successful in your figure proportions, angles, spaces, and edges. But, I feel that I'm not getting enough of those flowing and more than fluider quality into your drawing process of figure studies. Why don't you please go ahead with 45 minutes of 5 minute poses (9 drawings), all drawn underhand?

The reason why you could and would do this suggestion is because, your figure's relationships (proportions and angles), will be more successful in terms of how well you can and will push the guts and liveliness into your attitudes. For most info for exaggeration and expression in poses, please look into the free PDF of the Walt Stanchfield Series Volume 2 here.

Let's hope you'll take these with a littler grain of salt.

Hello again, Kim, but I think you did the right thing by having Amazon affiliate link images on your site. But if Amazon doesn't like it, that's the students' loss.

So, as I was saying, Kim, can't you just contact Amazon and try to reason with them not letting you show link images on your site?

Hello and welcome to Line of Action, Kluwelyn. I'm Polyvios, and I'm doing finer, and how are you? Say, I must love how much of an effort you're pouring into your shorter sketches, and how much thought and time and thought you've suddenly applied to your longer drawings of the human figures. However, I've got two small issues: 1) I'm not getting enough of that expression and emotion in your lines of action and rhythm in your shorties. 2) When you've mapped out your relationships and spaces, you've seemed to have watered the spark of life in your attitudes down too much. Would you like to please go ahead with our interactive drawing tutorial here on our site?(If you completely haven't already)

The reason why you need to use our tutorial is, consequently, your forces, lines, forms, and shapes will and can be constantly improved and innovated. You'll soon get a head start in your warmups at first, and next, go for retaining them in your more sustained sketches. So, my hat's off to you.

Hello, heliganreigns, welcome aboard. So, nice show on how loose your lines are, but I'm so in love with how much dynamism you've got into your expressive posing, but however, I'm not getting enough of that flexibility of those lines of action in terms of curves against straights. How would you like to please go with our interactive drawing tutorial on our website here, if you haven't already, please?

As a result, your understanding of gesture drawing will surely get better and more refined than you're used to.

Hope this works, and thanks.

I can't believe that I don't believe Amazon wouldn't and couldn't let you show your link images in 2024, Kim. Can you please reason with them tomorrow morning?

Hey, why is Sanne or anyone not taking action on the hidden link images yet??

To Whom It May Concern,

I was looking through this site, but all of a sudden, the links all have boxes with question marks on them.🎁❓❓❓ I clicked on them, but they took me to their products on Amazon, and furthermore, I didn't have any time too bookmark or put them on my reading list. Therefore, it's too understand that it may be something to do with DuckDuckGo's privacy settings on my devices. Please take action right away!

Hello, Oyster, welcome to Line of Action, I'm Polyvios, Polyvios Animations, and how are you doing? Say, I think your first ever attempts do show some promise. These have a the potential in the world, in regards to line of action, and the looseness of lines of rhythm, but in terms of the simple construction and silhouettes of the attitudes. But, however, these all show some stiffness, but blandness, and therefore, some awkwardness, too. Would you like to please kindly go ahead with our interactive drawing tutorial here on our website?

Thevreason why you could and would be on board is because, your control and understanding of the ideas of gesture drawing will become really strong, but really ambitious, in terms of ideas but with execution. And if you wanna learn more about gesture drawing, learn more about gesture drawing right here on this link. (For some lines of action, of course)

Good luck from us to you and your eternal journey. Happy New Year from us to you.

Hi, Euphony. I completely think that the simple outlines and shapes are getting more flowing and on the right track. But I still feel that the potential is really shining though. The good message, I think still you're getting a stronger idea on the lines of action and rhythm, but the strong message is that the lines of action could and would have been more boiled down to their rawer essences. Why don't you please free up your lines and hands with 16 minutes of 2 minute poses? (8 drawings)

The reason why you would and could do this is as a result, your lines and forms will be soon drawn more organic, flowing, but fully fluider. I feel that you're still gonna get this. For more info, please look into the Tonika Pantoja videos on YouTube about gesture drawing for art, cartooning, and animation.

Let's hope these can, shall, and will moreso work.
