1 hour of 2 minute poses! (References from line-of-action.com) I really liked the first two to four but then I started getting mentally caught up and couldn't find my flow again until around #14. I think I started worrying about whether I was practicing correctly and then was stuck overthinking for a while. (Hopefully farther into the course this won't be so much a concern.) How do y'all stay in your flow and/or shake off a bad pose? Am I focusing too much on contour perhaps? Any other critique/advice is welcome as well, for reference I have skimmed through the figure and anatomy courses in previous years and am just starting to work through them seriously (thanks proko 2.0 for the motivation!).

I think these are great. Two things: 1. I sometimes switch to my nondominant hand (in my case the left hand) which makes it harder but activates completly other regions of your brain and helps you see other things, get looser and finally frees you to get more in the zone (letting go)
2. I´ve learned for myself that 45mins to 90mins are alot to be in a state of concentration. Just in case if you have the tendancy to be too hard on yourself - don´t be. Your brain sometimes needs a rest. so dropping out of the zone or concentration can be totally normal. Give yourself a short break (from the screen especially) for a short while!
