Asked for help
So far I am really trying my best find the line of action and at times I am sad 😔. I just really want to learn how to draw anything from imagination someday but at times I feel discouraged to do so. I would go forward to play games or do more school work instead of studying art. I really would like to work in the gaming Industry some day and I know I need to make this my habite every single day. Thank you everyone for always criticizing me from day one, that means a lot to me because the community I was in before didn’t even mind my work or grown that much. It makes me me feel like someone actually cares about me. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to practice art more. Thanks for all critics on what I can do to better gesture🥇🧨🥇

Hi. I'm just a new here. However, I'm trully sympathized with this post. Especially, until came here, there were no community to me, which full of the people who interests in my study, give me advices respectably. So, this your beautiful words and effort, is encourage me, too. I would say to you, to tell the truth, It might a long way which you are able to draw "anything from imagination", but you certainly walk the right way. Cheers!

Hello. I want to post some exercises on figure drawing based on the force method, by the lessons of Michael Mattessi. I want to know what to impove.
I need to say that I do not do it regularly, except mentally. So I need some feedback. (Take into account I did it under 2 minutes -image one- and after added the force visualization without time limit)
Thanks in advance!
Great. I love your drawings. If you want to draw more dynamic, I recommend you to try drawing Force first. However, your 1st image is beautiful. I adore the line you emphasized, esp down left corner one.
I also study by my own from the lessons of Michael Mattessi. Let's try our best!

Hi Ai! These are cool and I also like using dancers for gesture studies. I like the flow of the arms you captured and the dress also. I also like how you are using CSI lines in the arms. I'd try to avoid areas of the drawing where the line is redrawn several times. It stops the flow a bit. Try to "ghost" in the line first. By that I mean make the motion of drawing the line without making the mark yet. Kind of track your line a couple of times above the paper then when confident in placement make the mark. The line will be much more confident and the flow will be more powerful.
Great practice! It is something that forces you to simplify the gesture of a movement. So keep it up!
