Hi Torrilin, I usually do a few 30 sec sketches to warm up, then go into 3 min session, but few of the full body ones I double the time by going back to the picture, they are the ones who are not missing a limb or a head.

For the sketches posted above I used a small 12 inch cintiq, wish I could afford a bigger one. the actual canvas size is 3 time larger, I downscale it so it will fit in here. as for the choppy lines, they are certainly something I'm trying to overcome, I'll put more effort into it.

I don't think I understood your remark regarding the lighting, if you could give me an example it would be great , thanks.

these expression drawing are 5 min each, the bottom raw was sketched with pencil on paper, the top ones in Photoshop.

thank you for the feedback Douma37,

I think it is a tendency I have to oversimplify the form, I'm looking at work by illustrators like Shane Glines, trying to understand how to describe the human form in elegant and simple curve, while keeping the details. you are right in that while doing these practice session I should observe more closely the images and avoid uniformity.

Here is a longer drawing session 3-9 min each.

Hello,

my long time goal is to be able to draw the human body from imagination.
for those drawings I usualy start with 30 sec and go up to 3 min sesions.

I would realy like some feedback, any critic is more than welcome.

thanks
