Polyvios, Thanks so much! I really appreciate your feedback! :^) I usually use life drawing to warm up before animating so I don't usually do it for long. When I really sit down to focus on life drawing, I'll try warming up with some 30 sec gestures as you said, before going into some longer poses. It's been a while since I did really long poses too, I should give that a shot. Thanks again!

Howdy! Animator trying to brush up on my figure drawings. I think I've improved a fair bit this year, thanks to this site! I haven't posted here before, but I was hoping to get some feedback on some recent figures:

My work has felt a little stagnant in the last couple sessions. I definitely would like to improve upon making the figures less flat, and convey more movement. Unsure if studying human anatomy in-depth (I stand by the Andrew Loomis books) is something I should be focused on, or if I should continue with these gesture drawings without being bogged down studying anatomy.

Being an animator, I've spent a lot of time studying the Disney Sample Portfolio PDF to try and improve my own work. Having this level of skill in portraying movement/volume in the figure is one of my goals, but it's not necessarily my primary focus. I know improvement isn't always linear, and I'm not looking to recreate someone else's work! :^)

REGARDLESS, I'd really appreciate any feedback or critque on my drawings. Getting different opinions on my work is something I really miss about in-person sessions for sure. Thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff!
