Good drawings Noddson! Your work show's some understanding of the rhythmic design of the human body and a good awareness of gravity and balance. Your drawings just need some better understanding of the functionality of the body in some places so everything connects naturally like in a real figure.

This is a good start Candy. First of all, keep in mind that you're attempting to create the illusion of reality on paper. So you need to take into account the 3D space the figure exists in and that the body is constantly working against gravity. The legs and feet are very important for balance in standing poses, so don't leave the feet out. It's like having a building without a foundation for it to stand on.

Your drawings show potential. In order to improve you must get more knowledge and understanding about the human figure. Drawing a lot is just one part of the equation. Getting more knowledge is the other essential and often overlooked part. You have to know better to do better.

30 sec drawings are a good warm up, but you need to do longer drawings to allow yourself to really analyze and understand the figure.

Thanks for letting me know Sanne, I'll reupload the the image. It's great to hear that you find the FORCE surface lines useful. They're a great tool to sculpt the forms and experience what they feel like.
