That's a very sweller job on your longer, 25-30 minute poses, miile, that's a more greater job I've seen so far, in terms on how you've constructed the forms, in terms of how you've captured the perspective, proportions and foreshortening, and in terms of the bone and muscle anatomy!

So.....as far as my nitpick or two is concerned, I'd like to say that some of the edges and their perceptions are just a bit too wobbly, a bit too stiff and rigid-er. (Despite being a technically good series of longer studies) Would you like to kindly loosen and solidify the next series of nude figures with 30 minutes of 10 minute figure drawings? (3 figure drawings)

The reason why you could and would, and should do this idea for bettering your drawing talents is because, if your next current goal it to improve your understanding of the overall proportions of the human form, and to make those proporiton drawings less stiffest, and the most dynamic, vital and energetic in the posing.

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

Nicest job on your Japanese comic-style 3/4 headshot, neolunare. That looks like a really great work on your goal. Question: what's your first ever current goal?

If I could make a little bit of a criticism, it would be that though it's a little bit technically, I think, what you're going for in the Loomis method. I completely and totally feel that your Loomis cranium, in terms of your application is the teensier bit too chopped off at the top. Would you please look at a PDF, physical book, or even an ebook of Drawing the Head and Hands by Loomis? There, you'd be able to practice loosening up your Andrew Loomis head construction just a little bit more with 7 minutes of a 5 minute, and a 2 minute study, would you please do that?? While you're at it, would you also please take this image you've uploaded, duplicate it, then you flip horizontally on Preview???

The reason why you could do this is because of two things: 1) You'd be able to check your own work; to compare and contrast with your manga head with the Loomis head to make sure your head and facial relationships are looking, and feeling correct to you. 2) To be able to look at the angles, proportions, spaces, and edges, for the sake of accuracy, or correctness.

Sorry if you think that sounds or seems a little bit too convoluted to you, but, I'm just doing the best I can to give you some definitely concrete advice, but all in all, that you've got plenty more practice on your anime and manga style more than me.

Good luck, cheers, and I hope you'll find these definitely and absolutely practical helpful and encouraging.

P.S. Don't get discouraged that tour studies aren't all that excellent right away. ;)

Well, Xyz, I really think, and really, really feel that you're first-ever pre-instructional drawings are definitely on the right track, in terms of your hands and feet drawings. Nice abstract and intellectual gestures so far.

Well, if I were to nitpick and critique your drawings, it would be that your perceptions are budding, but really, still not there yet, I think; and I feel that some of your line controls are the most too choppiest and the most unnatural so far. Would you please kindly loosen up those edges.....I mean, two suggestions: 1) Loosen up your line quality and consistency with a bunch of 30 minutes of 30 second hand and foot scribbles of cheap notebook paper, and the cheaper of ballpoint pens? (60 scribbles of hands and feet) 2) To really and completely do the Betty Edwards exercise of drawing the vase/face, from this link here. The two reasons I'm making you do these are because, first of all, to make your lines less stiffest in their gestures, plus to make them more boldest, most dynamic, most energetic, and most fluid and liveliest; and second of all, to get your untapped right side of your brain into action, in service of perceiving your edges (outlines), drawing out the most complex imagery, without any of your verbalization.

In conclusion, good luck to you, and I hope you've found these completely and totally detailed and informative.

Well, well, BrianH, that's a really great job on your gestures, and a really, really greater job on sculpting the gestures out for the forms.

My littlest bit of criticism is, that though I love the speed and proficiency of the 30 second quick attitudes, or poses, but I just can't get enough of the forms and the details, totally and completely obeying the gestures; or forces, on the much longest drawings that you've drawn from 5-10 minutes. Would you like to loosen up and draw largest with a 10 minute quick yet deliberate study, pretty please???

The reason why you could and should do this littler idea is because, it can help you improve your understanding of your overall proportions of the human forms, while in the meantime, maintaining the spontaneity in the quick sketches of the poses.

Hope they've been completely, totally, and positively helpful.

Well, N2l, I just need to say, that's a very sweller job on your line of action poses. Very organic and flowing, indeed! I've got one tinier, littlest nitpick. I love the intentional and deliberate lightness of your lines, but I'm just don't and can't get enough of the strongest lines of action, and lines of rhythm in those forms. Would you please work on loosening up and enlarging the graphic lines with 10 x 119 second poses of the dynamics? (all on the custom timer on Line of Action, and all flipped horizontally or vertically)

The reason why you could do this?? As long as you try out that custom timer, on your figure quick sketches, those quick sketches will become the most largest, longest, feeling the lightest, and the most cartooniest, liveliest, and most animated in those drawing.

Good luck to you. Keep up the good work, and I hope you'll find these completely and totally useful.

P.S. some of the images are in great resolution, while a few others, they're pretty crummy, so, take what you will.

Well, well, well, Arko, I must admit that those are very lighter touches to all of any and every pose you've put out on Google Drive file. That's a very sweller job on your looser and lightest line art.

If I would and should be able to nitpick each and every image there, it could be that, as lively and animated those gestures of the poses, but I really need to see even more of the strongest lines of action and rhythm in them. Would you please work the most boldest and most free-est with these lines, with 5 minutes of 30 second pose warm-ups, using the images from this link here, if you could bookmark, add to reading list, next, to download onto your hard drive?: Don Martin Lines of Rhythm

FYI: Don Martin was probably one of the funniest cartoonists that USA's Mad Magazine ever had. He was insanely gifted in his funniest drawings, the greatest clarity of posing and staging.

The reason why you could and should do this idea of improvement is as a result, your lines of action and rhythm not only longest and largest, but the most cartooniest as possible.

I also want you to keep that in mind that you really need to be positive about your body poses being a bunch of distorted scribbles, however, you'd be able to turn out a bunch of loosest and most expressive with an illuminating freedom of motion and emotion.

Good luck, keep up the good work, and I hope you've found these completely and totally useful and beneficial to you.

I've looked through the entire posts of your current gallery of quick figural sketches, and they say to me that you're definitely on the right direction, in terms of the solidity and weight of the drawn poses.

I think you're really know what you're doing in terms of the weight and balance in the drawing, or design. Also, I really, really feel like that one of the wireframe poses in your link there, is a little bit too forced there. Would you like to speed up and free up your feelings in the quick sketches, to exaggerate the weight, with 154 minutes of 30 second quick poses, all with out custom timer, or with the custom class here? (154 x 60/30/7 days, 9240/30/7, 308/7=44 scribble attitudes a day)

Although the arguement it as a result, your weight will have the most lightest of touches, and to make it more spontaneous, alive, and lively, yet humorous.

For more info, please check this video out.

Good luck, thanks for posting, and have fun with it.

Nice job on your clean-up animal drawings, Charlix, very good on making them very solid, slow and careful.

Yet there's one smaller issue or problem. Most of the drawings I see, from the canines to your birds are a bit to stiffer and bland to my sensibilities. Would you please like to loosen up your clean-ups with 151 minutes of 30 second quick sketches of your clean-up scribbles of your animals to help you push their guts even more? (151 x 60/30/6 days, 9060/30/6, 302/6=roughly 50 doodles a day)

Oh, and while you're at it, would you like to check out this link here, they can help you?? Maintaining Guts 1 and some extra two links.

Maintaining Guts Part 2 Maintaining Guts Part 3 (all from John K. Stuff (johnkstuff.blogspot.com)

The reasons why you could do this bit of advice is because of two things: First of all, it's to aid and assist you on making your drawings less stiff, and more fluider, and liveliier. And second, to get you more in-depth on retaining the rough and gutsy intergity in the rough concept sketch to your finished product.

Cheers, good luck, and my hat's off to you.

Kybao, great work on your display of promise and potential of those nudes here. Well, if I could suggest a critique, it would be that some of the lines are a bit too itchy-scratchy to my tastes. Would you suggest yourself an interactive drawing tutorial here on this website? Here's a link:Tutorial

The reason why you could do this is because, the first one would and could be able to help and allow you to draw stronger C-curves for your lines of action, especially your 5-30 second quick studies.

Take care, and get healthy and safe.

Great job on your 30 1 minute poses, Stefan. Way to go!!

Again, I'm not feeling enough freedom and confidence in the lines of action and their flow. Would you please be more broader and wider, with 60 more 29 second sketches of all figure studies? (all horizontal and/or vertical)

The reason why you would do this idea is because of two reasons:

1) To get into the perception of edges, the right-side of the brain, all in quick sketches

2) To help you have some fun with the lines of rhythm of the spines and limbs.

It's of another Wilhelm Busch, before Wilhelm M. Busch, that former Disney animator, Andreas Deja, posts or posted nonstop.

My hat's off to you, and I hope you'll find these completely and totally practical to your goal.

Great job on your Deltoids, Legacy!

I have a great idea for a criticism. I love how much range of expression you've got on your deltoid muscles, but I'm not getting enough range of cartooning and caricature of your observations on the deltoid studies. Would you please kindly free up and express yourself even far more, with 60 minutes of 29 second drawings of quick muscles? (3600 seconds/29=124 deltoid scribbles)

The reasons why:

1) To help your muscles less stiffer and undertured, and more caricatured and exaggerated and cartoony.

2) To aid and abet (if you pardon my language) to make your muslces less rigid, and more animated, vital, and energetic.

Here are some influential images:

So, good luck to you.

Good job on all of your pages, AuntHerbert. Atta-girl! Way to go!

Say, if you could suggest you to your own mini-goals, then it would be that the lying pose in drop-dead phenominal, it has one issue, the line-weights are a teensy-weensy bit too rigid. (the weights of them are consistently bold and dimensional) Would you please work with your elbow while you work with your brush, ink, and brush pen? With 2 hours of 30 second quick bodies, all flipped horizontally and/or vertically, and/or grayscale?? And while you're at it, check out this image below:

But, wait. There's more!!! Check out this link here, for your M. Busch sketches and final illustrations for you to bookmark, reading list, and download images from.https://andreasdeja.blogspot.com/2012/08/wilhem-m-busch-1979.html But that's not all, download those images too, for you to grayscale, flip, and/or rotate for your drawing exercises.

The reason why is because, piggybacking to your 3rd objective: In order to be more disciplined with that, would you please time yourself with the Timer+ app, or the Timer section of your Clock app on your iPhone or iPad Pro, or iPod Touch? Because, it could help you do a lot of bad drawings, and bad scribbles with no pressure, even if you're gonna tear holes into your papers. I hope you've found these advices totally and absolutely useful.

Well, well, Sonnemaker, I must admire your 30 second-1 minute quick sketches, cause they're on the right track in terms of action and acting.

In the meantime, my critique is that your forms are a bit too wobbly and loose, despite the forces are a bit more bolder and broader, and overplaid. Would you kindly construct out the lines and spaces with 30 minutes of 2 minute quick attitude drawings? (15 of 'em)

The reason is as a result, you'd be able to improve your understanding of your body constructions and silhouettes, and lines of action. Good luck to you, and I hope you've found these completely and defintely beneficial.

Well, well, well, Htlaps, I must say that your quick drawings and sketches of faces and expressions are on the right track, as facial anatomy goes.

So, if I could provide you something, like a critique, for instance, that I'm not getting enough holistic animation in those faces and facial expressions. Would you please broaden and widen up your quick sketching with 45 minutes of 30 second sketches of our website's facial features and expressions, and images from this link here?: https://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2009/07/cartoony-disney.html All flipped horizontally and/or vertically, and all downloaded from this link?? (45 x 60/30, 2700/30=90 quick cartoonies of different faces)

The testament why you would do this thing is because, though it could be a really great remedy for your same-face, it can support you in completely cutting loose and expressive in your quick animated gestures and slightly cartoonier expressions and emotions. Cheers, and I hope you've found these completely and totally insightful.
