I think that's a good strategy. What you will find is that getting some space and learning more about other techniques and strategies will improve your centerline skills when you're ready to return.

I am referring to the tendency people have to lock their action lines to contours, but the action liens are not merely contours, they can represent axes as well. Each part of the body is creviced, even if just slightly. It's a reminder to look for the curve in the overall shape of the form, not just at the contour edges.

Yep, don't overthink it. Also, this can take a while to learn. Be patient with it. I have additional YouTube videos on Gesture that might answer your questions if you do feel stuck and want more info.

Sorry, not too sure. Maybe you could send that question to proko?

Hi there :) i think you should try to use more s-shaped lines. For this one try to make the curve of the hip and the upper leg as 2 curves flowing into each other. And for the knees try to give a little hint for the patella and dont lose the curve of the calves. I hope that will help a bit. Keep up !

The upper part of the leg is a bit too symmetrical, same with the arms as well, remember to try and have assymetry, and also try using more "c" and "s" curves as well. Keep on practicing man you got this

Hi @jvuozzo, as a start you might want to draw things that are already clear geometric forms, like furniture for example. A bed is basically a big box and a sofa might be a few boxes and some cylinders. As for animals, you could start with any, I think. I would recommend choosing an animal that you really like :) to make studies even more fun. It might help to choose an animal with short fur, since the anatomical forms appear clearer then. You could use basic cartoons if you want, but there is a risk that you choose a drawing that doesn't have three dimensional qualities. But if you get to see the construction drawings by someone like Preston Blair, for example, you can learn a lot about using simple forms. ( https://www.traditionalanimation.com/2017/advanced-animation-by-preston-blair/ ) For me the most important exercise in this lesson was to practice drawing boxes and cylinders from different angles. It would be great to see some of the "basic square, rectangles and cylinders from different angles" that you have drawn. Having someone else look at your drawings can help you improve a lot faster. Feel free to tag me @Jesper Axelsson in that post :) When I took this course I was pretty confused by this lesson. I learned how to draw boxes and cylinders from different angles, but I found drawing an animal with simple forms too hard. I felt like I needed more guidance. If you feel the same don't worry. I think you should still try doing some simple form drawings of animals, but for me I got the real grasp of using 3D-forms once I came to the robo bean lesson, and later the mannequinization lesson. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
