I wanna get good at art so I can draw my characters dynamically. Big goal is to be a comic artist and make a comic of my characters

added comment inTimed sketches. Looking for advice on how to be less messy
Efficiency comes with practice. Like handwriting. You get faster and it gets easier the more you use it.
Your drawings have energy to them. I like how you drew all of godzillas spikes. It gives him depth.
I liked your monster figures, so I did my own 10 minute drawing to try it out. Mine turned out too fat.
keep up the practice and you will get better!

Understood! I’ll be sure to keep this up. Also your drawing is so cute! Love the chubbiness even if it wasn’t intentional.
although I’m pretty happy with how these turned out. I wanna be able to do these more efficiently since I plan to do these daily with a myriad of objects in order to learn construction and simplification.

Hey Felix,
When doing gesture, you want to look for an "S" or "C" curve that describes the pose from top to bottom. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean :)
as A visual learner, a million thanks for the example! I’ll try to find those big curve next time

Asked for help
Practice gesture drawing for a while with Marc brunet’s course but giving this course a shot to get more insight. Any advice on how I can improve is appreciated!

You're applying simplification and finding the fundamental CSI lines-- good work! I think another point in the figure worth noting is the angles at the shoulders and the hips, as this can tell a lot about the figure's rhythm and start to give it more structure. I would also recommend finding more flow between the lines across the figure. Thinking about it as energy or fluid moving from one point in the figure to the other, the curves can lead from one into the other, making sure they aren't blocking off the flow but instead helping it move across.
I’ve been doing gesture drawing for roughly a month but I still don’t fully understand it. I’m not gonna say I haven’t improved from where I started but my gestures are still kinda stiff and hard to read. I’m not sure what I should do to fix them. (Also forgot to save all the reference so there’s only a few I salvaged)
