    My first post here~!

    Can I get some critique on my figure/gesture drawings (30s, 1m and 5m) @ https://imgur.com/a/AAwZuuU?
    I am completely blind haha- this is my first time doing this sort of thing. Usually just copied (not traced, but by observed lines and distances between lines) art and people instead of learning how to actually make one.
    Thank you for your time!!

    I'm a beginner, so my words may not mean too much, but I'll try to help someone in need.

    If you look at my sketches, what I like to do is that I find the line of action, the head, torso, and hips... But I do something different for the rest of the body. Using lines to represent parts of the body like legs and arms are totally fine, as they are just muscle on a bone, but since I watched [url=
    ]this video[/url], I have a general idea of the shapes of the body parts. So, what I like to do is that instead of just making lines for limbs and circles for joints, I use ovals and circles respectively.

    Oops rambled about my own art a bit, haha, sorry I'm not really sure what I'm doing. But maybe my technique will help? Not sure. Your stuff is good though. Keep it up.

    Frankly - you already have A technique when I have no idea what I'm doing, so you're already ahead than me haha.
    If it's not too much trouble, can you send some pictures of the figures you've already drawn?
    Either way, thank you for recommending this video and sending me some leads as to where I can go from here.

    Honestly, it's hard to critique drawings like this, as it's your first time doing this. It's not that there's nothing to critique, but I think you will just get naturally better at doing art this way when you keep at it! Get a little more comfortable and familiar with the process! 
    (That way you'll get familiar with the things you'd like to improve or want more insight into as well, and you can ask for more specific advice when you do.)

    I would like to agree with Tired in a Tree, since you're so new I really wouldn't worry about getting critiques on such quick poses. That was a problem I had when I first started. Enjoy the process and make crazy lines. I would suggest doing proko draw-along demos to understand a little more about the drawing process. Do not neglect your long poses as well! Have fun drawing
