I can't see the pictures

I would sugest leaving the pencil lines so that we can see how you started.

I've tried to do a few images using white charcoal on black cardboard.

@mike

Thanks for the advice.

Because of my previous experience with drawing manga and such, I can sort of draw poses without refrence photos.  However they end up looking very stiff and unatural, so I think I also have to study how weight and gravity affects the figures as well.

All of your advice seems a lot to absorb at first, so I might try them step by step.

thanks :)

@ Kim

Thanks for the advice.  so far I've started to work on improving my hands but I haven't started on feet yet.

@ tintedpure

I'm glad that my 10 second drawings are ok. I'm not that good at judging them myself, since I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

@ Dominique

thanks, i'll try to work on the muscles some more.

I use to only draw cartoons and manga styled drawings for a long time, but now i'm trying to work on realism to improve my anatomy skills, so I was wondering if anyone could critique some of my work.
