Pax's Progress

Hey man, thanks for your comments from before! I can see loads of improvement from your first post! Figures looking more and more 3D.

I read that you want to get into animation, have you heard of Preston Blair's book: Cartoon Animation? It's really like gold for getting to understand form, gesture, perspective for drawing cartoons and animated stuff (and applies to all drawing really). It's really old so you can get it for free online: https://vk.com/doc99719297_220000468?has...7881908938 or buy it in print for pretty cheap on amazon. Just copy out each page in the book and try to apply the techniques to your own stuff.

Other advice I can give is to get a good single, solid line of action on your figures / gestures. Not that you don't have lines of action going on in your gestures, but being really specific about it will help tons. Do a bunch of 30 second - 1 minute figure gestures but only draw one line. Ask yourself what is happening in the pose, the main idea of the pose, and how can it be represented with a single line. I put some quick notes together here: http://i.imgur.com/gbIIIKL.jpg hope it's useful!
