Have you ever read andrew loomis' books? bridgman? look at the kchen demo's website?

I think the first think you should do is to draw on paper without squares, and try different pen 5b, 8b.

Work with references, a lot of short poses 5 minutes at the beginning...maybe you can try posemaniacs.

Thanks for reply , when i start drawing my first book is Loomis. Half of my drawings are references. Now i draw from Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton but you know better and i start drawing from kchen demo website. Today update

please for crit need motivation

Wow you've put a lot of time and effort into what you do, which is great it's good to see people with so much motivation you should be proud. You've improved a lot from your first posts, as i develop as an artist i look back on the work that i've done and re think about the things that I need to improve on. Now you're getting the hang of figure studies you should try and do something with them, lets see an illustration of some people do some things! Can't wait to see you progress, keep it up.

Well mate, here's something for you:
* Try to get unlined (unmarked?) sketchbook. The one without checkeres and lines, the blank one. These only distract you, and wouldn't be good in future. You should learn to draw on a blank canvas.
* If you don't have any special book about anatomy - get it. Drawing on the feeling and watching other artist is ok, but won't be very helpfull. Only with a professional book you'll learn serious stuff, like gesture drawing from a scratch, head constructuion rules etc.

And do you plan to paint digitally?

Anyway, wish you luck and patience. Keep drawing!
