I'd love to join!

Heyo! I am interested as well! I'm mostly active during the evening, Europe time.

In my case, it happened many times, the quality of my drawings fluctuates quite often, it depends on the day, some days, I'm more sluggish than others or I'm not 100% focused and that's normal, we all have times like this. Even though it is pretty frustrating at times, I would suggest to acknowledge you're having bad days when you're drawing, and refocus slowly on getting things right (by going back to basics) then building up on that base! Sometimes you'll even learn new things this way too!

Hi Vapor!

Welcome to the Line of Action website! I wish you the best, that you can find what you can do to improve your colors in your art. I'm here as a beginner since March, and I guess I'm improving a lot by both getting the art theory from an online teacher and practicing here. I don't know how it is with a free account since I have the Doodler membership, but you can get some art critiques from other users on this website and some members seem very experimented!

Good luck on your art journey and let's all improve! (thumbs up!)

Hi Sludgejudy! Thank you for posting and I really admire your courage to request a critique!

From what I can see with the 30 seconds poses, where you drew the torso, hips and sometimes the head shapes, I would suggest to draw faster. The faster you draw, the more information you will be able to put in your drawings. Don't hesitate to be messy, to be rough as it's close to if not impossible to draw everything in 30 seconds, but it has to be readable, to be clear (not clean). A tip for quick sketches would be to draw lighter, so you can make lines thicker if you want to correct faster.

If you go faster on the 30 seconds poses, you will have much more time for your 1, 5 and 10 minutes poses, time you can spend on drawing limbs for example! I see on your third day that in your 10 min pose, you had time to put some contour lines for the torso, which looks pretty nice!

Good luck on your art journey! Cheers!

PS: I really like how loose your "Lines of Action" (the main line coming from the head) is for all your poses!
