Thank you so much for bearing with me >.<

I don't like S-curves either =S. I drew them when the gesture's too complicate for me to summarize, so I began with the shape of the spine and adding all sorts of details. I just realized yesterday that I can do this↓ instead of starting from the spine:

I consider myself lucky when I figure out a simple C-curve...and things get even more difficult for me when the model's waist is twisted, eg. like this lady↓

(sorry I couldn't find the original photo, there're so many photos on this site ><)
I must have come across this lady at least 5 times. She is like the ultimate puzzle for me!@#^% It feels like she's stretching in every direction. I drew a S-curve for her torso, which I feel very redundant. May I know how would you draw her?

Sorry for the late reply Sanne. I'm back with some new 30-sec stick people:

don't look too great I'm afraid :P

Now I find it hard to keep things in proportion, particularly hard to draw the motion of arms, and extremely hard to spot the line of action without adding unnecessary details. I'll keep practicing!

Thank you for your kind advice Sanne! I didn't expect to get a feedback so soon since this forum seems to be not very populated... so wow thanx again man!!!

Yes you are right. During 30-sec sessions i always rush to draw the shapes first >< I'm too horrified to not draw a recognizable figure... I'll try to focus on the line of action and simple blobs during my later 30-sec practice. And I also think I'll go back to my old 10min figures and try to draw the line of action on them.

You're very helpful, thank you <3

Hi everyone~
I've been drawing fanart for a while but never really took anatomy seriously untill now... My characters always look stiff and suffer anatomy problems so I decided to do a 100 figure project with special focus on the ribcages and joints. Here are my newest practices (10 minutes each):

And some 30-second gesture practices:

super lack of momentum =S

I'd like to know if there is any "systematic errors", bad habbits, etc. in my drawing before I'm gone too far. Any advice/critique is appreciated!
