Thank you so much for your thoughts! It's funny that you picked up on my hesitance and search for "perfection." It's something I recognize and am trying to push myself past. :)

I really like the idea of using bold lines and working with pen. I'm going to try that probably this evening.

The first thing that popped out at me was movement and life. Your sketches seem to breathe.

I'm not a trained artist, so I don't really have much of a critical eye. I'm sorry. But I think you achieved success if movement was your aim.

I tried "class mode" using animal references.

Look at the third picture with the dog, specifically. He was tugging, and I just couldn't get the motion.

Thoughts for what to keep in mind for this sort of thing? Thank you so much!

This website is really kind of awesome. I stumbled across it last night as I was searching for some kind of figure drawing resource.

So, I did some.

They're less gesture and more just drawing. These are timed (10 minutes each, probably a bad idea for someone who fixates on details), graphite on a small sketch pad.

Thanks for your critiques!
