I always struggle with longer poses. Quick sketches aren't ideal but I feel like I know what to do. When I get to ten minutes I feel like I'm going in circles and only making the drawing worse. Any advide on how to take my time?

I'd love to hear any generall critiques and tips ^^

Good job on keeping overall shape of hair and texture. I feel like (especialy in the last drawing) you focus a bit too early on details. Try dividing hair into few big shapes and then dividing those shapes into smaller shapes. Hair tends to clupm together. I already can tell you're trying to represnt reflection but keep in mind which part of hair is in the light and which is the shadow. On drawing nr7 entire left side is brighter than the left but on your drawing only highlits are visible. If you have hard time noticing those big shapes of value try squinting your eyes or getting further away from your screen. Light is just like gesture, you start wirh bigger forms and ten go to detail. You can try making some quick sketches witch just determinig lights and shadows without drawing each individual hair

Hi!

I was doing gesture drawings and I struggle with getting proportions right. I feel like I can either focus on gesture or proportions even if I give myself more time. I'm not sure what should I work on right now. I'd love to get some advice :D
