I think you should be quite proud of your first attempts! :D

Try out this mini class to get a sense of some of the exercises you could use the site for: https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

Hi Bruce,

That is very kidn kind of you. :) I'll contact you via PM.

I ran a few tests and was able to see photos uploaded to a personal collection in the rotation promptly, but nevertheless I went ahead and cleared out the server-side cache of images for your account, which might help.

The other thing I would suggest is making sure that your preferences for drawing are set to include your photos, for example not choosing "only clothed" models when most of your models are nude, etc.

Let me know if you see any change!

I think this is something to do with over-zealous caching of which images are available. I'll see what I can do to work that out for you today. :)

Just checking, is this for the figure study tool? :)

Great work for two minutes! I really like the white outlines, they make this page pop.

Yes! :D We love it when members do this.

Choose "Create a public photo bundle"

You can choose whether you would like people to pay a small fee to make use of your photos in their LoA practice, or whether you'd like them to be free for the entire community.

Hey Xllvr, have you seen this? :) https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

Hi there!

That is not a feature of the doodler subscription, only of the full membership. I'm updating that message to be more clear about that. Please send me a direct message if you'd like a refund. :)

Hi there! Have you gone through this tutorial? :) https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

In some exercises, it's okay if your short drawings don't look like much of anything. Most of the time, proportion is not what you're after in 40 seconds.

This is an interesting idea! I'll look into it. :)

We don't have this right now, but we probably should! Thanks for the idea.

Off the top of my head... There's currently 5 levels for each type of feedback (this is set to increase next year), one for each length of class, completing the tutorial, first critique, first forum post, and a few others I'm definitely forgetting.

You have a distinctive and beautiful shading style. I can tell you have fun with it.

My advice would be, to increase the learning value of these practice poses, take some of the time you are currently using on "finishing touches" like shading and instead spend it on underlying structure and on measuring proportions. Save shading for more "finished" pieces rather than practice ones. If you don't currently draw a hard and fast division between work you do specifically to practice and learn and work you do for display, start drawing one -- at least for now. :)

You're doing great, keep working!

Very strong start! :D

Proportion definitely appears to be your challenge right now. For example, the legs often appear to belong to a different size person than the upper body of your figures, such as the head. This is a common mistake to make and one of the hardest to train yourself out of, as you are focusing on capturing each individual part of the body accurately. But as you do so, take a moment now and again to try and compare the individual body parts to each other. How wide is the arm in comparison to the neck? To the thigh? Can you use the figure's head to measure the sizing of the other various body parts?

Thank you for sharing your work with us. I hope this helps a little bit.

Hi there! If you've had an issue with some of the images showing an endlessly spinning pencil over the last few days, rather than loading properly, please go to this link: https://line-of-action.com/user/cleartoolcaches

Then go back to the study tool and give the page a refresh :)
