Hi Hungree,



I've looked at all of your sketches, and I think they all looked beautifuller. And, I feel that you'll get better to let go of your symbol mode with practice, this time with pencils, and newsprint paper. That's just my advice. But, I've got one tinier, littler critique. Say, ever heard of L-Mode/R-Mode? Here is this link:



Why? Because this video is about the Betty Edwards technique, which regards on drawing from the right side of the brain. And why?? Because, if you have done 92 more minutes of figures, faces, hand, and foot poses in 30 seconds each, it could also tap into your right side of your head. Cheers for you, and I hope you've found these completely and totally informative and kindly.

Hmmm, that's a very good question, Xllvr,

I really think you know something on how intervals work, in the 30 seconds and 60 seconds (1 minute) sides, and as for the 5 and 10 minute intervals, well, it could help and encourage you to be more slower and careful in the forms, spaces, and relationships (proportions and angles).

Hope you'll find this definitely and absolutely beneficial and helpful.

Nice work, eadriver45,

I feel that your quick poses for your muscular men are on the right track, and I feel that I could give you an honest critique. You know, when it comes to your muscle men, you worry too much about the contours. Why don't you please do 89 minutes of 60 second male pose, and/or any pose warm-ups?

The reason why you could do this suggestion is because, if you're looking for that confident and bold line your talking about, then I say, 'go for it.' It's OK if those 1 minute poses don't look like nothing, because, they'll be here to completely loosen you up and lighten up your line quality. Keep up the good work, and I hope you've found this helpful, informative, and encouraging.

Hi there, zukkesketches,



Very nice sketches you got there! I looked at your quick sketches from your newest 1 hour class, and I think that you're on the right track, plus I really feel that my advice is, to really go for more relaxation. Why don't you please do your very first 30 minute class mode with what you're doing today?

The reason why you could do this challenge is because of 2 reasons: a) to make your poses less stiff, and more dynamic, energetic, and fluid. b) to help improve your understanding of human anatomy. Cheers and I hope you'll find these gracious and supportive. Keep it up!

I love your sketches, and hi there, doozyarts.

I really feel like you've done a much greater job on your quick attitudes, because you've nailed down the simple outlines of the human bodies. Still, I've got one small, tiny, little critique. I really feel that the simpler geometric forms are emerging out of those poses. Why don't you please do a 2 minute pose? The reason why you could do this pose in that time limit is because, it'll help you feel out the forceful forms in those figural gestures.

Cheers, and I hope you've found this completely and totally fine and dandy.

Would you please don't beat yourself up, dilandoubishop?

I've looked at your half of your current batch, and I feel that you're making fantastic progress, if you really want to be a story sketch artist and/or character animator, if that's your goal. I think that you're doing just as finest, thus far. My advice is to keep it up. Keep it up by taking your 14 minute break, then finish off the practice session-not drill--- by working 52 minutes of 30 second attitudes, working exclusively standing up with your shoulder, rather than your wrist. Would, and could you please go with this challenge?

The reason why???? Because, don't worry about getting 87 minutes of warm-ups in one day. It's okay. And furthermore, it could help you not think about the forms and details, but through the forces- for example, if you quickly sketch out a model running, you can really see it in that sketch. Peace out, and I hope you've found this helpful, concrete, and totally favorable.

Please don't be so hard on yourself, orangekiwiwatermelon?

I just checked out those reference-less poses, and I feel that you're on the right track, and I think drawing from memory, or 'w/o (without) reference' whatever you may call it, can, and shall be constantly improved with patience and practice. Well, if I could suggest you a very nice critique on your sketch, that I'm seeing some rigidity of some of those poses (2-5 min). Why don't you please do 87 more minutes of 30 second memory poses; in other words, just staring into each and every pose for 30s, then letting your memory flow out of ya on tablet?

The reason why? As a result, it's one of the many best way to remember what you're drawing in general. Good luck to your recent studies, and I hope you've found this informative, helpful, and delightful.

Great job, nixonfj, those sketches say that you're on the right track. I've known, that when it comes to human proportions, you look and seem pretty intuitive with them.

However, I've got one tiner, littler suggestion: I just love how much motion and movement you've got in each and every one of your sketches, but why don't you please make more, and even more improvements with, 85 minutes of 30 second poses?

You wanna know why?? Here's the reason why: Because, it'll make your poses and lines the least stiff, and more fluid and lively in the gestures and emotions.

Good luck to you, and I hope you'll find these courteous, useful, and helpful.

Howdy Hmmk,

I've just seen your quick sketches, and it seems that you're on the right track on capturing the quickness and movement of those figure poses.

So, if I was to give you an honest appraisal, then it would be that I just don't see enough of your grace and rhythm of your motion. Why don't you please loosen yourself up more, with 83 more minutes of 60 second (1 minute) poses?

The reason why you would and could do more warm-up poses is because, it'll give even more gestural strength in those fun and joyous poses.

Cheers, and I hope you'll find this considerate, informative, and encouraging.

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.

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.

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
