Fujikawa,

Your work has a lot of lovely gaps, giving the viewer time to fill them in and compleat the figure. The gestures are rather strong, and you communicate your model features very well in your drawing style.

Try to dramatise your markers of success by asking yourself:

• Can I do less line work to express the figure? Let the viewer imagine more of the figure by not drawing it.


• Can I exaggerate my drawing a bit more? Emotions are seen in the body in how it shapes itself; adding just a bit of a lie in the picture can express that feeling even more than the model in its original form.


• Can I vary my hatching style to expand my shape language?- Working in different styles other than your own, or ones you find unconfortabole expand how we express our shape language.

 
Lastly, this may be due to working digitally, but there are apps and programs that use pressure sensitivity. 

• The main problem I am seeing is that your drawings lack a variety in line quality. The lines are all the same weight because you are using the same thickness throughout the figure. 


• Instead, try to have your lines become thicker in spots of emphasis and thinner in the opposite areas. Also, changing your line quality will allow your figure to express how light works without hatching. 

I hope this was helpful. I really enjoyed looking at your long figure pose; it's a strong little picture.

All of the best,
