Welcome to Crimson Daggers!

Nice zoo studies, I love the almost chiseled look of the lines. For the figures, watch out the limbs lengths and curvature. They have enough volume and outline seems ok, but they're curved beyond what bone would allow sometimes and it's not helping their flow. If you want dynamism focus on the torso and involve the pelvis more in the movement.

To express movement, choose the type of line and the direction with care. Check out this slide created for Tangled vis dev, courtesy of Glen Keane.

These two posts I randomly found are also worth reading. They explain a few concepts of rhythm well: The road of rythm, Offset curves.



Don't forget to tell us what you're seeking to improve so we can better help.

Thank you for the welcome and the feedback!
I tried replicating Michael Hampton's "early gesture stage" drawings with reference. Though I feel I'm way too stiff for that, I didn't consider proportions or correct landmarks, I just wanted to capture movement. I should've stated that! Anyways, the resources you posted are great and I will study them in the future! I'm way too intimidated (so far) to attempt correctly drawing human figures. I really want to work on letting go of that fear.
 
Also I'm still learning how the site works so I'm sorry if I post something in the wrong way. I still don't know how to correctly post more entries in this thread. Should I reply to my first post? I've tried looking for a guide but I couldn't find any.
