Hey there, stuartowendev, welcome aboard.

I just studied and really examined your work on the gestures, and it says that you're completely on your way to really, really loosely draw for your animations, if you need it. So, if I was to suggest you a critique or two, it would be this: I love how much animation movement you've got, but I totally don't and can't get enough of the flexibility. Why don't you please lie down yourself, by going for 126 minutes of 30 second pose sketches??? (126 x 60/30, 7560/30=252 manners)

The reason why you could and should, do this little suggestion is because, it would and could help you out on making your talents in cartooning and caricature more bolder and powerful.

My hat's off to you, and I hope you've found this completely and totally productive, and intuitive.

Nice work, genocide_clear, but I really don't see anything from those addresses to what's meant to be your images of your work. Why don't you please repost them on your Imgur, or whatever????????? Because, it would, could, and should help you and me out on your learning curve.

My hat's off to you, and keep trying and doing.

Wow, leepinlemons!! Hey there, and good evening, or noon. Say, I thing you've done a really and totally awesome job on your quick gestures of poses. These forces are totally identifiable, in terms of look, and mostly feeling.

So, if I could and would provide a completely and totally honest critique, it would be, some of the forces and energies, I just don't get enough of them yet. Did you just rough them out in a 0.9 mm mech. pencil? Why don't you please loosen yourself up, by drawing more longer, lighter, and largest lines, by quickly sketching out 122 minutes of 30 second attitudes???? (122 x 60/30, 7320/30=244 bodies)

And do you know the reason why?? It's as a result of freeing yourself up drawing those, then you'll be able to get the boldest and powerful lines of action, and lines of rhythm. Good luck to you, and hat's off to you, and I hope you've found this conducive to quantity and quality.

Wow! That's a really sweller job on your gestural drawings, Thestripper! These would all look great on your portfolio!!

Well, if I could provide you with a couple of critiques, then it would be that for two things: 1) I love the gestures and action-packed impact of each and every pose, keep working on them. 2) I feel some of the flow on some of the feet and hands on the 30 second poses are way off. Why don't you please loosen and free yourself up with this interactive drawing demonstration?????????

The reason why is, though it's for the newbies here in this website, then it's worth a shot for you. And another reason, is to help you out on making your poses, feet, and hands less stiffer, and more dynamic, exaggerated, vital, and energetic. My hat's off to you, and I hope you've found these completely and totally beneficial and newsy.

Hey there, AuslerDraws, I just wanna say, thanks for the awesome job on loosening up on your very first Imgur post -- on Line of Action. That's a very good job on going for the motion here. Well, if I could provide a completely and sincerely honest criticism, then it would be that some of the poses have a bit too much choppier lines. Why don't you please free yourself up in your decisions of lines, through 120 minutes of 30 second poses???? (120 x 60/30, 7200/30=240 attitudes)

And you wanna know the reason why????????? Because, it would and could help out on making your line economy less rigid, and more dynamic, exaggerated, and fluid. For more info on making some caricatured poses, here is this link on the Vilppu Drawing Manual PDF: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8VO-JQCy3HgVzBhZGtiN3hZWHc/edit

Or better yet, be sure to buy the scarce copy of that book. Good luck to you, and I hope you'll find this definitely and absolutely helpful and informative.

@Layan Thanks for your response, Layan, but don't you mean two of these tutorials please?

The reason is because, it would and could help out on making more cartoony, expressive, and exaggerated sketches. Hat's off to you, and I hope you'll find these completely and totally encouraging!

Greetings, Luke, excellent progress you've got there on your Google Drive! Well, if I could and would give you some advice, then it would and should be to please, please, please, please work out the looser and exaggerated forces and gestures of 117 minutes of 2 minutes of drawn poses????? And why?????? Because, It would, could, and should make your gestures and spaces less stiffest, and even more solidest, fluidest, and spontaneous.

And another thing: "Practice on the Days That You Eat." -Daniel Coyle, The Little Book Of Talent.

Good luck from me to you, and I hope you've found these completely and totally influential, inspirational, and absolutely educational and advisory.

Hello there, Layan,

Nice and excellent display of promise, you've got here on your Google. However, if I was to give you one piece of advice or two, it would, and could; be to do 2 interative drawing tutorials on the website. The reason why you could do these is, as a result, it would and could, give your gesture movements in sketching more remotely cartoony and expressive. Good luck to you, and I hope you've found this completely and totally helpful and encouraging.

Hello, Vinn,

I've looked at your animal sketches, and I must say, you're very promising at them in your very first post on them. Well, if I was to give you some very good advice on drawing animals, then it would be to please work standing up while sketching out the animals and other mammals? Why don't you please work out on 30 minutes of 30 second animal poses?? (1800/30=60 poses, all flipped and rotated in your photos and screen caps) The reason why you would and could do this drawing assignment is as a result, it could and would help you capture the gestures of your creatures more accurately, and more loosely and lightly.

Good luck for you, and I hope you've found this definitely and absolutely beneficial and instructive.

Nice work on your series of gestures, BrainH, I must think that you're on the right track in terms of your current goal.

My advice would be to tell you that, that's OK if you're somewhat inconsistent with your gesture lines, because, accuracy is not the important concern of your recent goal. I feel that you're just doing a swell job on searching out the forces and lines of your gestural poses. If I could give you a sincere critique on your gesture sketches, then it would be to keep working out with more and even more 30 second poses. Why don't you please do 108 more minutes of them? The reason is because, it could be extremely important and pivotal with your agenda in getting your lines of action, rhythm, and drawing your long and lively gestures.

My hat's off to you, and I hope you've found this completely and totally essential, informative, and descriptive.

Well there, Thestripper,

I love so much on how much effort you've put into the shading and lighting of the spheres. Why don't you please check out this video???

The reason why is because, though there are very different examples online, then this would be completely and positively helpful on the studies. Cheers, and I hope this would be totally useful and informative, too: https://line-of-action.com/article/master-pencil

Nice job posting, Manarioca, but I'm really not seeing the links to your head drawings. Try again please? Because, I'd really like to get access to your latest fruits of your progress. Hope this helps, and cheers.

Hey there, Callmedeedee, nice work on your poses, especially on your imagination and Spiderman poses, too.

If I could suggest an improvement, then it would be to caricature those poses more, in 2 days of 96 minutes(96 m/2 d=48 minutes) of 30 second poses, all from reference and/or from imagination. Would you please do those practices? The reason why???? Because, you really don't need to do your finished Spiderman poses in a time as short as 30 seconds, what you're supposed to go for, is the movement of those types of poses.

My hat's off to you, and I hope you've found this completely and definitely pleasurable, informative, and encouraging.

Hello, Wondererpassingby,

I've seen one of your quick sketches, and I think that those 30" (second) quick sketches are the most loosest and fluidest I've seen so far. The 2 minute poses are fluider, while the 5 minute ones are basically your fluid. Why don't you please do 96 minutes of 60 second poses, in two days?? The reason why you could do this amout of drawing practice is because, it'll help you get that lively and energetic hand-drawn animator's line. For even more practice and inspiration, then please check out the Action! Cartooning by Ben Caldwell, Fantasy Cartooning, also by Ben Caldwell, and this book, Vanishing Point for Perpsective Drawing.

Hat's off to you, and I hope you'll find this completely, totally, and absolutely obliging and informative.

Hi there, Thestripper,

I absolutely love your quick sketches in 30 and 60 seconds very much, because they have a lot of looseness and life in those sketches. Keep up the great work!

Again, if I was to provide you a critique, then it would be to make your drawing poses more and more cartoonier and exaggeratedly appealing. Why don't you please do 95 more minutes of 30 second attitudes? The reason why you could do more of those warm-ups is because, if could and would help make your figures the least stiff and the most dynamic, vital, energetic, and fluid. Cheers to you, and I hope you'll find these completely and totally beneficial and nifty.
