Your figures look good! I'm not sure what your goals in particular are (if you want to be able to put them in a space, start doing that, for example), but a good step is to work with primatives more. You have a good sense of gesture, but learning box rotations and cylindrical forms would help you create more depth and improve proportion.
Yo!
I’m not entirely sure what your specific goal is right now, but based on what you’ve been doing, here’s what I’d recommend:
If you’ve already spent some time focusing on gesture drawing (which you’re doing really well!), you could now start shifting toward mannequin construction. This can be done using simple forms (just boxes and cylinders) or slightly more complex ones.
This will help you practice perspective and form manipulation, two fundamental pillars of figure drawing. You could say these make up around 70% of the skill, while the remaining part comes from learning anatomy (muscles) to make your characters more believable. But the real foundation is perspective and form.
On top of that, start studying proportions more intentionally. Gesture drawing doesn’t require strict proportions, but when constructing the figure, having believable proportions becomes much more important.
If you have the chance, I’d recommend checking out the figure drawing roadmaps on Artwod. I’m sure they’ll help you take the next step.
Hope this helps, and keep it up!
