C&C is always appreciated ;)

2-minute-a-pose figure drawings done as practice from a pose website:



Some redesigns of a character being used for a short film:

Portraits look fairly good, but I can't help but find your figure drawings to be a bit blocky and stiff, because it looks like you're following shapes and contours rather than the flow.

Otherwise, I don't have much to say. Nice job.

Yeah, these were the first figure drawings I've done in months; not to say that I was really any good at them before. I'm trying to get used to drawing more quickly and to be honest I sort of suck at it (if you look at my other stuff it becomes clear that I usually take my time). It'll be a while before I actually get good at figure drawing, but practice makes perfect!

the nipples were unnecessary

For some, one of the purposes of figure drawing is to practice anatomy. Nipples are a part of the human body, and thus necessary for anatomical accuracy.

Anyway, on the drawings, I really have to say they are fantastic. I wish people of your skill were around back when I drew regularly (don't really have the time for it now) and posted some of it here.

i agree, the nipples are called for due to anatomical reason
as for the drawings, i think they're really good

Try using curves rather than straight lines to describe the body, with a curve for the line of action as a guide. Again, you have to describe the 'flow' rather than 'shape'. It's hard to explain, but Prokotv on youtube has some videos on figure drawing. You might want to take a look.

Are you one of those people who scream every time you see a bit of exposed flesh? You shouldn't be anywhere near the beach. Or the art section.
