Gesture drawing, so called 1 min

Nicest job on your range of movement and organic sketching, Naima, but they could use some most loosening up, yet how would you like to free up your shapes and forces with 2 hours of 19 second quickest sketches? (7200/19=about 379 sketches)

The explanation why you could and should do this critique is because of three things: One, to help you get into thinking about the big picture. Two, to help you to draw bigger pictures, and three, to get you thinking the least about the most smallest and insignificant details as you time yourself for practice. Hope these have helped you out the mostest! ;)

By golly, I wish the image was larger, the site is a little finnicky sometimes and it makes it a little harder to critique stuff.

A lot of your pieces are very good at capturing the line of action of the model. I think you are having a little bit of difficulty with shoulders. The next few 60 second pieces, I reccomend adding the collar bone to your poses, they help a lot for placing where the shoulders go. For these short drawings, there is no shame in taking a bit more time on parts you are having trouble with, as long as you are depicting the whole figure.

You nailed that middle right pose. the line of action for the torso ended up adding a solid shoulder to the upper body, and it made the figure look more human, even when the arm is a little bit scribbled on.
