thanks @Jesper Axelsson .. Appreciate the feedback. darkening the dark halftones does pop the contrast. Will keep that in mind for future drawings

The best way to get the desired acting out of your character is to find a suitable reference. Even better, record yourself acting it out and use it as reference. When you act it out, you will understand how certain body parts move in an action

how do u make such perfect ellipses ? Is there a trick to it ?

Great work , you re doing them well . Only suggestion would be give each drawing some space . Third page is easy to read. Few overlaps on the first 2 pages. feels congested

Great work !! Only suggestions would be 1st image : Rib cage needs to be longer & thinner. Elbow and knee landmarks seem off 2nd image : Ankle landmarks need to be at an angle, not parallel. Inner bone will be a bit higher Not related to landmarks. for gesture of the right leg, use S curve. Will push the weight on that leg. This is an advice I received at Proko community which improved my gestures

Looking good .. Good that you keep retrying until u get it right . thats the key to improving try to match the size of the cylinder for pelvis to the reference pelvis. You seem to be drawing them smaller . okay for now while practicing torso. When you start building the complete body, this will throw the proportions off. i made the same mistake when I was practicing.

Overall Good work .. u seem to understand forms on horse and dog well. just need to get the forms shapes right. angle of arc on the bird seems off and front legs on elephant are too thin. I think you are trying to break into much detailed forms too soon. First break them to main basic forms. Then you can work on further form break downs Better understanding on animal anatomy will help . Few books for animal anatomy ken hultgren - the art of animal drawing Goldfinger Eliot - Animal Anatomy for Artists - The Elements of Form This is how I usually approach this. I think even my forms are off at few places. I am learning too

Good line control and spot on.. Keep up the good work !!

First off .. Great work !! main goal of gesture drawing is to get the pose right. which you did well. 1st question : for gesture drawing it is recommended to start with capturing the pose in as minimum strokes as possible . For example , 1and 2 has good flow of action with one long stroke going from shoulder to feet. Nothing wrong with building up with small strokes. But I would recommend avoiding it when beginning. or this may turn in to habit and lead to chicken scratches. One long stroke for the pose looks better and clean than lots of small strokes 2nd question : The amount of information you give depends on the time you allot for it . If it is 30 secs to 1 min, you only need to get the pose right with good line of action. then check your proportions. If you have more time, build construction on top of this gesture. If you then have more time, add in more details and so on It is like building a house - first the foundation, then frames, then walls , flooring. Painting and finishing comes at the end.

Amazing work .. Your work is very clear and construction is on point and professional. What materials are you using ?

These are sooo good .. Amazing flow and good way of breaking pose into basic shapes. Great work !!

Good job .. doing great on the gestures. Good flow of lines and nice use of Curves. Next, to push them further, try including proportions (not necessary for gesture, but the drawing will look much better with right proportions) and try to include gesture lines for palm and feet

Awesome work .. great value control . Good lights and shadows

Ye .. got to keep that in mind. I try to work on high zoom as the digital brush feels good in that resolution

Thanks Jesper .. Will note that for my next drawings

Good gestures. We can tell the pose by looking at it which is the goal of the quick sketches. To improve things try focusing on gesture. You seem to be focusing on the contour(border of the pose). Force yourself to draw to draw in long minimum lines. This is hard at the beginning . do not worry . it comes with practice . some drawovers to help :

Good line of action . Try drawing with your shoulder ( https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-hold-and-control-your-pencil/discussions) to improve line quality. 2nd and 3rd poses seem off balance. Not to worry for now. There is a lesson by proko when you go further ( https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-balanced-poses/discussions ) Keep up the good work !!

focus more on getting the line of action correct . Keep it in Cs and S shapes as much as you can. do not worry about contours for now
