like you i draw outline too strongly... it must be quite light to blen with the "ambient" tone

the second and third ones look very good, some things are wrong with the first one, just minor perspectival and anatomical things all around, don't worry, you'll iron it all out the more you practice and draw from life.

Remember, draw the whole figure first, get as much information with as few strokes as possible. Start by delineating the curve of the spine, and use it as a guide for the entirety of the figures movement. then make sure to get the shoulders and hips lines of action. Once you have these building blocks you can easily lay in the other lines and blocks for limbs and main masses. Work simply, gradually work up to details.

Something I think you can begin to try working in is finding edges through value rather than outline. Try it in some of your future studies from life - do not draw a contour line; rather, use white space and shaded areas to denote the forms. This is easier with thicker and looser media like charcoal or a big graphite stick if you arent comfortable with the mess.

keep drawing!

nice work chaser. just a few questions....was that an evening of sketching? and for the bottom 2 pieces, was that life drawing or from your head? the reason i ask is because i'm having troubles drawing good poses from my head and find i usually need reference. my only suggestion is that you might want to vary the line weight a little....especially the entire outline.

nice stuff!

The bottom 2 I gestured the figure(my gf) in like in 2 minutes. Then went I in and drew from my head.

my advice to you would be to tighten up on your hatch vinettes, your strokes are too far apart, and you seem to be going a lil wild with 'em try only to use 'em to either accentuate the pose, or to punch the lights and darks.

but your proportions are really good and you seem to have a start on a good sense of modeling

keep it up
