Howdy, Amine! And welcome aboard, I'm Massachusetts native, Polyvios, and how do you do tonight? Thanks for doing a greatest job posting your images for critique. And also, a greatest job on feeling your way thru your organic gestural lines in your figure illustrations. Please keep pushing youself far, then farther, and then farthest.

Yet, as liveliest and easier to digest as those graphic lines look, but these poses, look too mostly like porcelan dolls, yet they should feel and be like animated cartoon human beings. My littlest request is to get the motion and vitality and feeling going with your hand with drawing 10 minutes of 30 second pose warm-up sketches, by holding your graphite pencil underhanded. Would you do that?

The reason why you could and should do this littlest request is because of two things. First of all is to spend lesser time erasing your unhappiest accidents, with some happiest ones, and second to not overfixate on the details too much, thus getting the strongest range of exaggeration and caricature and sparks of life in your quick sketches. For more info and details, be sure to look at more pose practice material with this link right here! It's from the oldest John K. Stuff blog. It has tons of info and inspirtation. Please look into this useful and practical weblog for some influences on how to sketch for cartooning and animation and art you can't find in your schools. Please take what opinions John said with the littlest grain of salt.

Hope you'll find this material completely and totally concrete and useful.

P.S.

Just please do the images for gesture drawing practice!

Good morning, Lilikamasha, and welcome aboard. How do you do this morning? Greatest job on your perseptions of edges, spaces, relationships, tones, and the gestalt on your most realistic face and expression rendering in graphite, really. Yet, I'm not getting enough of your most caricatured life in your face gesture. How would you like to take a whack at 5 minutes of 30 second scribbles of facial expressions. As a result, your understanding of faces will be the least stiffest and the most dynamic, energetic and vital. For furthest info and inspiration, please check out this link right here, and it can totally help you.

Have the happiest newer year.

Most fantastic efforts you've put into your memorized figure, fnibbit. However, when in doubt, please refresh yourself by studying and memorizing with the reference actually in front of you. The reason why you could and should do this suggestion is because, it's a lot harder to draw anything from memory if your memory is not your sharpest. But don't give up, if you learn so much from your model, then your memories will become their sharpest with most practice as you could get.

For more details, look at this vid below.

Hope this advice is extremely helpful and beneficial.

Nicest work on your anatomy, Zenlaeth, but I'm not getting enough of the cartooniest and exaggerated flow in your drawings. Please would you free up your range of action and animation drawing with 30 minutes of 1 minute poses? (30 drawn figures) As a result, you'd be able to look at the models the hardest than the average person as you could and draw out the humor and feeling from the gestures. And while you're at it, please click on this link right here, for you to bookmark and download all the images from.

Hope these pieces of advice will be the most important and pivotal to you and your progress and myelin.

Welcome aboard, thesuperdupersayian, how my I help you? Excellent work on your solid forms and perspective, and proportions, and subtle foreshortening.

Yet, most of the line qualities all look itchy or seem itchier, and hairiest and scratchiest to me, as they appear to have been drawn too tighter in the handwriting position. May I sugggest that you should and could do 5 minutes of 30 second figures, using the underhand position?

It is for two things: 1) To get loose and confident strokes. 2) To not get too, too bogged down on the smaller and most insignificant details. For furthest information, I recommend The Art of Basic Drawing from Walter Foster. Hope this has been totally and genuinely beneficial.

Good morning, Zhaoxiong and welcome aboard to our website, Line of Action! I'm Polyvios, Polyvios Animaitons and how are you doing this morning? I love how much of the broader strokes and lines of gestures of strength and ambition of the hands and all of the feet. However, I feel they seem a bit farthest too rigid in the exaggeration. Kindly satirize the hands and feet even most with 1 hour of 30 second scribbles of various appendages with our custom timer? As a result, your poses and gestures will be the least weakest and the most strongest with the caricatures of hands and feet and shoes and crocs and sandals and sneakers that you can find around your house, apartment, online, or whatever. For complete details, please be sure to look into the Andrew Loomis book of heads and hands and the Nicolaides book and the Edwards books.

Hope this has helps you out the most and have the nicest day!!

Agreed, but I really didn't mean to frustrate Verdant in any way, but I wasn't proud of it, as I had been completely and criminally misunderstood, until then, I'll just drop it for now.

FYI, Kim, confidentially, I think it was Verdant Cole, and please tell him that I'm sorry to offend Cole, though I wasn't trying to offend his ego, but I was only trying to constantly reassure his budding drawing talent. Tomorrow, please convince him to unblock me in the morning, if he needs to and if he really wants to. I was only ultimatly trying to help out myself and moreso, my peers online. Good night, Kim.

Ok Kim, here is the here, and this image in case you didn't see this link.

You see what I'm saying and do you see what I mean?

I don't know, but I could've been blocked by somebody, for no good reason.

Have a nice afternoon and love you.

To Whom It May Concern,

I was looking through the sketchbook again, when 6 pages are all completely empty. Please what can we do?

Good luck and have a nicer evening.

Good evening, Fincov, and welcome to Line of Action, and I'm Polyvios, but how are you? Say, in order to get some greater tips on how to draw hands, then I suggest to look into This link here, and here. Hope both of these help.

Good morning again, soda, and I think that your figures and faces are well-articulated in terms of lines, spaces, and relationships, but I feel that I can be sharp enough about this, therefore, these gestures all don't look or seem intuitive enough to me. How would you like to speed up harder and loosen up your dominant & non-dominant hands with 10 minutes of 30 second faces and figures and such with either hand?

The reason why you would and could free up your pair of hands ambidextrously is because of the whole, entire point of quick speed sketches and gestures to make your sketches and pictures less stiffer and more than fluid in the organic mess of the perception of edges all the way down to the perception of the gestalt. As Chuck Jones put it:

We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us - the sooner we get them out, the better

Hope this tip and trick have helped you out, and I hope you'll care about the process over product.

Good evening, Drab Green Rabbit and welcome to Line of Action. I'm Polyvios, Polyvios Animations and how are you doing tonight?

Say, I'm really loving so much on how looser and faster you've drawn your figure drawings and gesture sketches. And what's specifically is that your gestural poses are a lot more looser and bolder and broader in the strokes, which is basically the point of gesture drawing.

So, if I could honestly nitpick your quickest sketches, I would and could say you're having some problems or two on how to loosen up your lines of action and lines of rhythm in your broadest attitudes. How would you like to work ambidextrously with 5 minutes of 30 second sketches for either hand, just to free up your shoulders. The reason is because of the saying:

We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us-the sooner we get them out, the better.

Chuck Jones-Warner Bros. Animation Director of Termite Terrace

So to further prove my point, please check out these two videos from YouTube.

Let's hope these have helped you out so much.

Good night.

Good evening Kapahab, and greatest job on your range of motion and mood and anatomy and silhouetes and relationships, but I'm need to see and want to see even more ultimate confident lines of action and the broadest strokes. How would you please like to do some 30 minutes of 30 second sketches of figures, 30 minutes for the dominant hand, and 30 minutes for your non-dominant hand.

The reason why you could and would and should do this drawing exercise is because of two things or so: 1) to get you to think about observation in drawings. and 2) to get the broadest and funniest feeling with your caricatures and exaggerations in figures and such. For furthest influence and inspiration for your gesture drawing applications, look this up, it can really and ultimately help you out.

Good luck and I hope this has totally and absolutely benefited you and your studies.

Good morning, Bi Tronic Colarice, and welcome aboard, I'm Polyvios and how do you do this noontime? Say, in order to best possibly explain this issue with gesture drawing with an emphasis on scenes and environments, you'd go for the gesture drawing exercise for your environments, just like you would with figures and such. Here are some visual examples.

This images are directly lifted from John K. Stuff blogger, and this images give a very great idea visually on what I'm trying to mean about gesture drawing for compositions (environments). What I mean is that if you could see these images by blurring out the most complicated forms and details, and the most simplistic gestures, you'd be able to feel your way through flow and action lines in the backgrounds, and on the characters as combined in these scenes, and so on. If you'd really like to do this suggestion, then I'd love to see your 30 second exercises of these images suggested to you, then photograph digitally these and post them against your studies, as you can see the hint of this statement.

Thanks and have a great rest of the week.
