Some more pratice 3rd Attmept with lines, Feeling alittlebetter with circles. This time all of it done on tablet with screen yay

Also began to start the draw over of poses. Though i have a feeling the poses i chose might be alittle too hard for a beginner? =x

( Suggestions/ Critiques for improvements and all greatly appreciated ^.=.^ )

I think for identifying the line of action any pose is fine. I think the dynamic poses are probably actually better. Check out the ref you have with the full body suit, that is a great place to start because the LOA is on the body suit, it is the center line. This is a good start. I would say in general try to make them a bit more curvy / dynamic as your figured will be built off these in time and having a more interesting LOA will give you a more interesting character. Im still fairly new but here is how I handle the LOA on these. There is no one right way but I try to make the line interesting as possible.

Hopefully that helps, let me know if it doesnt make sense.
