My life drawings- please help me!

Hi everyone,

I'm a first-year computer animation student at Ringling. I really want to get an internship at a traditional animation studio as soon as possible, hopefully next summer if I can manage it. The problem is that I'm pretty bad at life drawing, which is the one thing I really need to be good at in order to get an internship. I've tried a lot of different methods, but I still feel like I'm almost as bad as I was when I started (which was a little over a year ago). I'm starting to get really frustrated.

Here are all of my best life drawings:

Long poses and faces here: http://webspace.ringling.edu/~ccarnes/gallery.html

Short poses:

Even my best still have major problems, especially with proportions in the long poses. What should I do to improve?

Hey man. I understand what you mean. It isn't that you haven't improved. You've improved greatly and your progress is starting to slow down. Everyone goes through a drawing "growth spirt" where they get alot better really fast, then! You slow down ALOT. Its a bitch eh? Anyway, your not bad. Since your at college maybe you should ask your professors about getting extra help and asking them about the best ways to get interships. Someone at the campus should know.
