Hey, I tried the suggestions and felt comfortable enough, that I just started the next part of the course (Nude Figure Drawing).
Again the first assignment with the suggestions you gave me (draw faster and use the whole arm). After looking up how to use the arm and holding the pen I think I found a comfortable way of holding the pen and barely use my wrist anymore in these assignments. Also I deliberately try to speed up the lines. I still struggle a bit to follow the lines at the circles with more speed, escpecially in the second half where I "push" the pen (I'm left handed and draw circles counter-clockwise, so the right half when going up from the bottom point).
Then from the first assignment the color Adjustments. I tried the last one quite a long time, but couldn't get it better. I can see, that some parts are off, but since all operations should affect the whole image, I couldn't find the perfect balance:
And last some first tries at finding the action line.
As I saw from other posts nudity is okay for this purpose? Also I hope it's okay that I use these images. I got them from https://quickposes.com/ and just used the "Free model poses" library there. It just sais you shouldn't use the in my work, but since the page is for training purposes I guess it's okay.
If either one is not okay, I will delete them right away. Please just tell me in this case.
So here are the tries. I would like to know if I'm on the right track with those before going further and adding the marks for head, ribcage and pelvis.
