I see you are using stick figures. I second that method. The stick figures allow you to set up the action of the figure and more easily expand the figure anatomy of a figure. As a side issue, I would recommend you do a serious study of human anatomy muscle & bone structure. The internet has a great deal of information on these subjects. Make drawings of the muscle & bone structure. You will know what is under the figure's clothes & skin. Do not worry about hands or feet. Get the overall figure down. After you do, you can worry about the hands & feet. Sanne's advice is something to take to heart.

The skill does not come overnight. It takes practice. Keep & date your drawing so you can compare them over time so that you can gauge your progress. I always date my works. Learn from your mistakes.

Remember: Practice makes better. Improvement takes time & effort. So practice practice, then practice some more. If you do so, you will be surprised at what you will and can achieve.

Good start. I would recommend you use flowing lines, particularly if the body is bending and/or tristing. It would make for a more interesting picture. Expand your practice to the many photos provided by Line of Action or On-air Video. Also, do longer sessions. Plus, do many more. On your own, study human anatomy - both muscle & bone structure. Make drawings of these items. The internet has a lot of information on these subjects.

Remember: Practice makes better. So, practice, practice and practice some more. You will find in the long run, it will pay off in your work.

The figures are very, very nice. I always recommend the study of anatomy to re-enforce your knowledge of muscle and bone structure. Make drawings of the information you get from your study. Also, work on hands. Once you understand their structure, drawing hands are easy. Start with stick figure fingers. Each finger consists of 3 joints up to the knuckles. Get the dynamics and interaction of the figures down. Then you can expand on your finger drawing. Work on feet too - think triangles in almost all views.

A complex figure you are trying to draw can also use a stick figure to start with. I start with the head & shoulders. The relationships of the rest figure can be made.

Most important to improve your work: Practice makes better. Consequently, practice, practice, then practice more.

Good quick figures. Now move up to longer timed drawings. To help you. You need to study human anatomy, both muscle structure & bone structure. The study will help you know what you are drawing. You can find a lot of information on the subject on the internet. Recommend you make drawings of what you find enough so that you know what is what. Drawing nude figures will help you in drawing clothed figures. I would recommend a simple stick figure so you can more easily get the dynamics correct. Once you are happy with this drawing, you can expand the figure to more realistic forms.

Remember: practice makes better. That is what you are after - improvement.

Just trying to help. Whatever you do, remember practice, practice & then practice some more.

The drawings are very nice. You can start out with a stick figure to get the proportions correct and the action of the figure also correct. Today it seems I am recommending the study of anatomy - both muscles & bone structure. The internet has much information on these items. Be sure you make drawings so that in the end you know what is where. Draw figures from Line of Action and On-Air Video in various poses. I think you are ready to move on.

Remember: Practice makes better. So practice, practice, practice some more. After a while, you will see improvement.

Good start. Try using a stick figure to start to help get the proportions correct. Once you get the proportions correct, then add (fill out) the body. Study anatomy- muscle and bone structure so that you know what is where. In your study, draw pictures of what you are studying. The internet has a lot of information on this subject. You also need to draw the figure provided by Line of Action and On Air Video.

Remember: Practice makes better. So, practice, practice, practice some more.

You did well about getting the essence of the poses. That's a great start. Nice start on the hands. Start studying anatomy - muscle and bone structure. Practice drawing both so when you see something on a figure you will know what it is. There is a lot on the internet free. Keep practicing with models provided by Line of Action and you can also use On Air Video.

Remember: Practice makes better! So, practice, practice, practice some more and you will see that you will improve.

I looked at your pictures. As I understand it, you are concerned about the short time sketches. In these sketches, you can not fool around. These short times are to develop your skills in observation. You have to get the movement in the figure. I start with the head on the shoulders. Quickly sketch in the movement of the body, the legs, and arms. This should give you a good idea of the body & its layout. Your time is short. You can now fill in whatever details you can.

Your drawings of full figures are very good. I would suggest you study muscle and skeletal structure. The more you do this, the more you will see this information in the body you are drawing. I would suggest you follow the procedure suggested above.

Keep practicing. Practice makes better!

The drawings looked just fine. The 5" ones looked very good. The shorter ones look as you might expect, rushed. On the shorter ones, you need to get the movement of the figure. I would recommend on all your drawings you start out with a simple stick figure to get the immediate action. lf you have time, you can add to the figure. Simplify (more if it is a short pose), e.g., an oval for the head, triangles for hands & feet., etc. Remember on a short pose you can not sit around with your elbow in your ear. You got to get with it. Study anatomy (do drawings so you will learn). If posible find a local life drawing class. Be sure to date your works so you can go back & compare them.

Practice makes better!; therefore, practice, practice and after a while you will, if you keep it up, good things will happen.
