With all respect, "nuh uh" I tried to adopt Mahatma's tip and now i decided to make them differently. Here is thge result https://imgur.com/a/H39D0QJ .

But thanks anyways

Hi, my problem is that i pull a lot of lines on paper. and many of them are just wrong or end up making the pose completely wonky. i asked someone before but i got no answer so please tell me how can i learn avoid wasted lines.

I can see it clearely. first of all, Hi Jttheallison. I can see you tried to copy the pose as they are with all that pesky anatomy to take account and that's not a good thing for us beginners. Do not even care using 3D shapes at this stage. treat each pose as it is a logo ready to be simplified. That way you'll work on the basic aspect of figure drawing wich it is capturing the energy of the pose and then its weight. https://imgur.com/a/BjQtSDu

Hi, Syrella. Since you seem to know a thing or two about avoiding waisted lines. how can I build that skill?

Hi Lumi, let me ask you this "how much experience do you have in shapes with 3D perspective?" it is a really important question since a lot of tutorials think you already knew this so they bring up things like "use mannequins" or "turn the body in a bunch of boxes" but they do not work if you don't have a really sharp understanding of perspective.

I tell you this because I genuinely know nothing about perspective at the moment and all those tutorials gave me terrible results. One good advise, DO NOT LOOK AT THE MANNEQUIN YET! just follow the arms and legs as some sort of disjointed lines as they start from the houlder to the point of the hand (same case for the legs). Use simple S or C curves and do not care about each muscle, this is not time for anatomy yet.

Hi, your practice studies tell me you dedicate too much effort for the wrong reasons. You usually use straight lines the entire time and I am sorry to tell you but that's not enough, straight lines are really rare to see, unless you either want to really want to simplify or the pose itself really is that static.

Next point, simplify more, dont draw the legs as the different curves that make it, just draw a triangle as the thighs and a line for the rest of the leg to attach the foot as a triangle after (triangle if it is shown from the side and a trapezoid if shown from the front.)

Next thing, the shapes of deconstructing the pose are wrong, they are in the middle of being two dimensional to kinda respect a third dimension. Try drawing the torso as a clessidra, you first find the line that connects the shoulders and the other one for the legs.

Finishing off be aware of the proportions, a head and the torso together should be as long as the legs. The head should also be big enough to be half of the distance the shoulders

Hi, I these is my latest attempt at a 30 second pose drawing and I feel like there is supposed to be a better technique to trace clearer lines. https://imgur.com/a/515WWdO

Hi, i chose this class because it has many members and to me that might be a good possibility to get feedback on my recent works but I don't know if i can post the images here or i need to pay a premium membership to do it.
I hope to get a response soon.

After a while a tried again, i hope it is an improvement. it took me 5 hours of attempts to make it. https://imgur.com/a/IE8louc

The title of the video is straight forward. Trying to simplify the body in shapes i came across this pose and no matter what i do i can't find the right shapes. this is my attempt and the image of reference right next to it.

My latest post didn't recive any criticism so if you want also to see this one session, answer there too.

thanks for the attention

Sorry for answering you late. I want to learn on how to understand human anatomy but i have problems finding the right lines for the action too, something slips out, so i just end up working over them like they never existed or i just start over witjout tracing an action line. I have a sketchbook and i am filling it with 15 secomd poses. I am currently shifting between doing it well and having no idea what i am doing, sometimes on SAME POSE.

I am still lost, where ever I go, I don't seem to find someone in the art community having these many roadblocks one after the other in such a little time. I learn something, plateau happens, i forget how I did it, I search on how to do it again, head doesn't let me do it again...

Look, i am still in my roadblock and i am trying what ever to get out, i followed a video that uses the FORCE method of figure drawing. It took me a lot of time to try and analyzing a reference up to bottom and the legs got me the worst. https://imgur.com/a/du0YUF9

I now made my newest 30 minute class session and... who knows if i will go back on track again... sucks to suck

On the first poses you should try to make big curves that comprehend more parts of the body instead of subdiving everything in smaller shapes. take a look

You don't need to put on a disclamer on NSFW content. The majority of all models are all nude ;)

3 hour class looks like suicide to me. i got to my first 2 hour session and it took me days to recover. and it all honesty i don't get what it will teach me
