Grinding

[Adam Lina]

Great job with all this figure practice. I think you should do these as a warm up and then do one longer drawing and take it as far as you can. Doing quick drawings is good but you want to build up your ability to spend longer and longer amounts of time on drawings. I used to spend 10 minutes on a drawing and not know what else to do so I'd call it done. Now after building up my patience and developing a more complex process I can easily spend hours on a drawing. Try to spend like 20 minutes and build the drawing up in stages. Start with gesture and construction/perspective. Then add anatomy and values. A good way of thinking about it is to spend about 5 minutes on each stage. Dont rush through any of the stages. Take your time and concentrate on what you're doing.
