Hey, hey, hey, TheRealBanano!!

Nicest job on your first ever post on Imgur, and I love how clear and smooth your lines of your figures are.

Well, if I was to suggest a critique, then it would be to tell you that, your drawings look good, but there's no sense of storytelling in those attitudes. Why don't you please do 2 more minutes of 30 second practice sketches???

And do you know why???? It's because it'll help you loosely and lively sketch out your poses that tell your story, visually.

My hat's off to you, and I hope you've found this encouraging, strong, and approved.

That link is an amiable job, KatieOfConrad.

I think you're doing a great job on your 1 minute poses, because of how dynamic, energetic, and vital they look and feel.

Still, I've got one tiny improvement: I love the fluidity of those lines with feeling, but I'm not getting enough feeling and cartooniness from those lines. Why don't you please be more confident with those edges, in 4 minutes of 59 second warm-up poses?

The reason why you'd do these is because, those lines will become smoother and bolder, just a teeny-weeny bit, even if they loose form and detail. As a result, this could be most vital into boiling things down to their basic foundation.

Good luck to you, and I hope you'll find this completely and totally approved by all of us.

Hello starriser,

I'm just looking at your gesture drawings, and I feel like you are on the right track so far. And I think so, too.

So, to answer your question on the "skeleton" foundation, I really think that all of those approaches (circles, triangles, etc.) are all equally valid approaches, because of the unique functions and characteristics of the figural construction of your drawing. Why don't you please do please do 76 minutes of 30 second poses for each and every shape design?

The reason why?? As a result, it can and will, help you out on your experimentation and practice on your figure gesture drawing, by making it the least stiff, and more than dynamic, vital, and energetic, for your skeletal foundations.

Well if you wanna improve your quick sketching, maybe this link could help you out: https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

I hope you'll find this completely and totally lovely, informative, and encouraging.

Hey there again, Nekorea,

I've seen your Google Drives before, I feel that your drawings are obviously raw and energetic. I just totally love the range of expression, emotion, and movement in your 1 minute sketches.

However, if I was to make another improvement, then it would be to just please do 75 minutes of 30-second hand and foot poses? The reason why??? It's because if your current goal is to make your hands and feet less stiff and more fluid, then go right ahead. Cheers and pray for your health and safety, and I hope you find these completely and totally kind and encouranging. And if you wanna see more information, check out the Glenn Vilppu drawing manual, link here: Vilppu Drawing Manual

Hey there, Hanpb,

I've seen this drawing before, but anyway, nice job on your work.

But still, if I could say what you can do better next sketch, then it would be to please be more bold and more confident with your line economy? If there's anything that you should focus on, then it would be to kindly do 73 minutes of 30 second figure warm-ups?? The reasons why are because, a) your lines will become the least choppy and more smooth, slick, and appealing. b) It help you caricature, distort, and exaggerate your animation drawing more expressively. and c) it'll help you on your drawn acting the most for your drawings and cartoons. Cheers, and I hope you'll find these even more good and supportive.

Hey, SodaGhost,

I feel like you're just totally on the right track, on your latest figure sketches. Still, if I was to recommend an improvement, then it would be to just do 71 minutes of 30-second poses, on whatever digital drawing software and whatever tablet you're using there. Would you please go with this?

The reason why???? As a result, if you work while standing up, while you're unseated, then you'll be able to take more advantage with drawing with your shoulder over your own wrist. Keep up the nice work. Cheers, and I hope it's been duckier and productive. For more details, please be sure to look at this link here?: https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

Hey there, hey there, Jown.

I don't think those figure sketches are that bad, I really think that you're one the right track, and I feel that you are totally benefiting from some more practice. As a result, then you could still get some help from doing 71 minutes of 30 second poses. Could you please go with that?

The reason why is because, it'll help you see the forms quickly as you draw them out, in addition to the forces you observe and feel out. Other than that, you're doing a very fine job!! Cheers and I hope you've found this completely and totally good and useful.

Hey there, Mdewar,

I love how much anatomical definition of the bone and muscle structures here, but I could make a suggestion to you, then your gestures could and would benefit with 70 minutes of 1 minute poses, all flipped vertically, then horzontally. Should you please do these?

The reason why is because, it'll help you out on some perception of edges and forces, and organic forms, in terms of some sketching out the figure studies. For more information be sure to the currently available copy of the Human Anatomy Book by Eliot Goldfinger. (link down there-after all there's always DuckDuckGo, or Google)

Cheers, and I hope you'll find these friendly and supportive. Here's a link:Human Anatomy of Artists By Eliot Goldfinger.

I love what you've put out, Obsessionwithkit, that's very excellent.

And, if I was to give you some very, very , very sincere advice, it would be to, please do 68 minutes (1 hour 8 minutes/4080 seconds) of 30 second pose warm-ups ? And why???? Because, it'll help make your poses the least stilted-or rigid-, and the most dynamic, vital, energetic, and or course, holistic in your gestures and anatomy.

I hope it's been definitely and absolutely ducky and productive to artistry! Happy New Year!!

P.S. Look at some poses from these animated cartoons animated by a guy whom you may not have heard of before-or since- called Rod Scribner.Please click here.

I love what you've posted out so far, Katie, I feel and I think, that you're making fine progress so far. I've checked out images 4 and 6, and I think the poses- in part or in whole-still hold more clearly in the forms (actually, a whole lot more in image 4 than image 6)

But, if I was to point out one whole issue or two, then it would be that some or several of the poses are a mite too choppier in the line quality in the gestures-which us artists have to deal with every day for the rest of our careers, and our lives. Why don't you please do your first newest 67 minutes (4020 seconds/1 hour 7 minutes) of 30 seconds of life figural poses?????????

Why????????? As a result, even with three different flips, your poses will become more bolder and more forceful in their storytelling content, especially in their backs--Not to mention the fact, that even when you sketch them out standing up, it tends to free us artists and drawers up into using our whole shoulders, rather than our whole wrists.

Hope you've found that completely and totally ducky, beneficial and conducive to artistry.

Imokay, thanks for making your post accessible to me.

I just wanna say, thanks for posting your hand sketches. They are very good gesture sketches indeed.

I mean, as far as a range of movement and raw caricature goes, I feel that you are slowly getting there.

As far as my concern is, for the line economy, I think they are bolder, and I really feel that they are a bit too choppy. Why don't you please be much, much, much, much more bold and decisive in your line choices? Why don't you pretty please do 65 minutes of 29-second sketches, all flipped horizontally or vertically???? Why???? As a result, your line control will become the loose, light, and large. But wait there's more. You can work on your sketches while standing up, if you feel like it. But wait, there's more? Also, you can completely be even more longer and livelier in your range of movement and exaggerate your hand gestures.

For more details on exaggeration, rent yourself a copy of a book or Audible of The Little Book of Talent, by Daniel Coyle.

Hope you'll find this helpful, nicer, and encouraging.

I love your 30-second poses, Dawrushesin, they are very good poses. I love how well you communicate and the action, acting, and motion of your attitudes. But, I've got one little suggestion: I love how loose your line quality and understanding is, but why don't you please do 63 minutes of 29 second bodies of figure studies? Why??? Because, it'll help your drawings become really loose, long, large, light, and really much lively, and with lines of action and rhythm.

Not to mention the fact that you could do some 30-second studies of some Dan Haskett artwork that you can find on Google or DuckDuckGo, or whatever search engine. There is no one search engine better than the other. What else?? Because, cartoons are all about caricaturing and exaggerating the gestures, like how Dan draws his stuff, precisely, with not rough sketch. Hope you've found this completely and totally promising.

Nice post, SodaGhost, can you please give me permission to your post, so that I can constructively critique your hand drawings? I've sent a request already. Happy sketching.

I really love what you've got there, boskiddlybop. Again, I see, in the left hand side of that 30-second sketch of the stick figures, I see some of that forcefulness creeping in there, but that's still a little bit too off in the body proportions, even you've gotten a little bit loose. Why don't you please do 57 more minutes of 60-second figurative poses? Why???? Because, you'll lighten up your forms in terms of, not just the look, but the whole feeling of them. As for the rest, keep it up on your current progress. Hope you've found it nice and encouraging.

Great job, KhasDrake, nice range on your drawing skills. I love the 10 minute drawing, but I love the 30-second ones so much.

However, I've got one tiny advance: I completely adore the cartooniness and expressiveness of the 30-second warm-ups, why don't you please do 52 more minutes of 30-second figure studies????

Why? Because, it'll make your body sketches more easier in looks and appearance, while at the same time, make your sketches fuller of vitality, spirit and energy.

Hope you'll find this completely and absolutely useful and practical.
