Good afternoon, Ji-Sung, how are you? Welcome back to Line of Action. Greatest job on your rendering of the forces, forms, and details of the mouths and mouth shapes from all angles. Keep up the greatest work, indeed!

I'm not getting enough of the more dynamic and expressive mouth shapes, but the forms look or seem right-est to me. Would you like to free up your dominant and non-dominant arms with 1 hour of 30 second mouth and lip drawings? (120 mouth gestures) In addition to your control or understanding of the mouth, lips and teeth, then you'll use emotion and expression in your gesture drawings of those facial features. Your quick gestures will really make your mouth drawings and animations truly and truly come to life. Here's this link below. Good afternoon and good sketching practicing.

Au contraire, Merel, your link actually works. Good evening, and welcome to Line of Action, this is Polyvios, how are you tonight? Excellent job on showing a range of expressive action and acting in your quick sketches. Keep up the great work, I say!

Yet, I've got one small request. I'm not getting enough of the fluid and lively quality in your poses and figure's lines. Would you like to free up your dominant arm and non-dominant arm with 6 minutes of 29 second gesture drawings? (All from memory, likewise, look at the pose for 15 seconds, then draw actually for 14 seconds each) If you first ever goal is to make your poses and lines of action and of rhythm less stiff and rigid, and more dynamic, vital, and energetic. Here's a link to Volume 1 and Volume 2 !, II and more. of the Walt Stanchfield Book PDFs on Archive.org. Good luck and good night.

Good morning nekonanko, and welcome aboard to line of action, I'm Polyvios Animations, how are you this morning? That's a greater job on showing your ideas and energy in all of your poses. Please keep up your energy in your broader attitudes.

But still, I'm still not getting enough of the vitality and energy in your drawings of the figure drawings. Would you please free up your whole arms with 6 minutes of 29 second scribblier poses? As a result, your drawn lines of action and lines of rhythm will become more and more into your innerfeelings in your manga and anime-style poses. For more practice for your anime and cartoon poses from any society, then I'd recommend you this link to sakugabooru.com. You'll have the real animation education to go frame-by-frame on your animation drawing studies. Good luck and good practicing.

Excellent job on your reference photo portraits, Theo. Very inspiring for gesture practice. Keep up the great work! :-)

Good evening Devil_Darlinqq, this Polyvios Animations from Salem, MA. How are you doing today. Actually, as your stick figure attitudes you've posted so far, I beg to disagree. I ultimately think that you're completely getting on the right track of sketching out your lines of action. They are very, very strong and lively. You don't really, really, really need to worry too much about the forms and details at this time. Keep at it, keep on improving.

In the meantime, I'm getting a bit of an excess of lines in that pose in drawing 1. Looks like you've gotten the design and gesture a bit too rigid to me. Would you like to go for 23 mins of 29 second broad gesture drawings? (23 x 60=1380/29=about 48 scribble poses) Your broad attitudes will make your constructions and lines of action less stiff and more bold, vital, and energetic. For further instruction, look up the two Walt Stanchfield books online:Here, And Here. Good luck and good night.

Good evening, retrocrisp, this is Polyvios, Polyvios Animations, how are you doing tonight? Say, I love how much solidity and flow and life in your nude constructed poses that I've seen so far. Keep up the great work.

But I've got one small constructuve criticism. I'm not getting enough of the motion of the fluid and flowly lines and poses. Would you kindly mind if I asked you if you could and should go for an online interactive drawing tutorial on our website right here? You'll be able to visualize the poses, forces and forms quickly from 30-5 second poses. Good luck to you, and I hope this tip had inspired, nay, influenced you.

Good evening, Devil Darlinqq, this is Polyvios Animations, how are you doing tonight? I love how much of the cartooniness and expression you've got into your simplified faces and expressions. Great work on our first ever attempts into your sorta realistic faces and heads.

Where are the quick broadest strokes in your heads and expressions? They can an extremely important asset to your drawings of the figures, especially your realistic and believable expressions. Loosen up your arm with 5 minutes of 30 second warm-ups, please. Because your expressions will be more convincing in your fluidity and life and solidity. And to answer your question, check out this link right here.

Good luck and my hat's off to you. Good night. Sweet dreams.

Good morning, Pastabrother, how are you doing this morning? I love so much on how much vitality and energy you've got going in your caricature and exaggeration of the poses and gestures. So far so great. I love how much fluidity and life and intrinsic motivation you'd gotten pent up into your poses. Very, very, very, VERY great job indeed. Push yourself.

I love how much of the bone structure in your anatomy in your female semi-nude figure in underwear, but I think, really, where is the skeleton? Would you kindly loosen up your skeleton practice with 5 minutes of 30 second skeleton images, all flipped vertically? Your right side of the brain could be obviously applied to your quicker studies in your gestures of the anatomy. There's more! Your skeletal structures will be able to get more looser and evern more stylized. For more help into your anatomy inspiration, look this up, it can help you out very much.

Great luck and great practicing out of your artist's block.

Good evening to you, GlitchyGoats, I'm Polyvios, how are you? I must really, really, really, really love how much of the simplistic construction of the head and body and the strongest lines of action and rhythm. Great range of expression and movement.

I love your flow and organicness of those poses, but the forms aren't too solid enough to me and the figure's construction and negative spaces need some more finessing. Please free up your hand and solidify the forms and details with a 5 minute pose flipped horizontally? Your perceptions will be amped up a little bit more in your edges and shapes in the pose's construciton and silhouette. Not to mention the fact that your lines of action will work with your anatomy just a little bit more. For more details, be sure to look into the Bridgman compilation book, and the Action Cartooning book on our page. To speed up your learning curve, here's this here link on the original Preston Blair book from 1947.

Good luck to you, and I hope these have helped you out so much.

Well, thank you for response, but by bland, I mean less exaggerated, less human, and less specific than real people's noses. Everyone's noses look completely different in real life, and in really old caricatures and new caricatures. Here's the link to click on, to really, totally prove my case. Hope this absolutely helps you out.

Good morning, Ji-Sung, how are you? First of all, greater job on your nose studies. Very harder work and dedication indeed, I see. And second of all, greater use of solid drawing and gesture sketching on your noses from all angles. Very, very, very greater job.

However, here's my more interesting spin on this more than constructive suggestion: Most of the times, the noses seem or appear a little too even and blander in them. Especially in drawings 2,6,7,17,20, as well as, 21, and of course, 35. Would you kindly free up your shoulder with an online interactive drawing tutorial of faces and expressions, figures, too? The real reason why is because, as a result, you'd much more better familiarize yourself with the fundamentals quick sketching and gesture drawings in general. If you really need to get to know the fundamentals of caricature and exaggeration, then, just as Lorelei recommended,look into this link: Proko Caricatures.

Good luck to you and your longer journey of drawing caricatures and gesture caricatures.

Good morning, hello, Ji Sung. This is Polyvios, Polyvios Animations, how are you doing this morning? Great job on our stylization of your eye anatomy, particularly with your eye skeletal and muscle structures. I think that stylization is really great, if you know your fundamentals well. Your gestures look absolutely gorgeous so much. But if you keep on imitating other styles ahead of time, you run the risk of becoming a second-insert-artist-name-here.

So, if I could really give you some really constructive criticism, though I may not be the greatest in giving you some solid advice, then I love how much solid drawing you're getting into the eyes, then your motions look or seem a little bit too stiff or rigid. Would you like to loosen up your elbow with 5 minutes of 30 second eye doodles? (10 eye drawings)

The reason why you could and would go for this little suggestion is because, first of all, it can and will help you get in sync with your right side of the brain. Second of all to make your eyes less undertured and more exaggerated, caricatured and satirized in the character's thoughts and feelings. Here's the link to click on. My hat's off to you, and good drawing practicing.
