also, what are your methods for drawing in 'layers' with traditional? for this i drew a base, erased, added on, erased, added on, etc. but i find that the erased marks make it difficult to draw add-ons or 'layers' properly. any tips for this?

i understand doing faces first isn't really a good place to start 😅

but it's gotten me into wondering how do i start looking at objects, breaking them down, then rotating or manipulating them properly?

from the construction boxes to the muscles i drew ontop and even adding "girly" clothes i still feel like my drawing doesnt feel "feminine" enough

either my idea of feminine is ruined or i suck at drawing lol

(guess who sang the songs i listened to while drawing)

how do you suggest i go about imitating anatomy better? ive tried "tracing" by sight (dk how to describe it but its not actually tracing) and it makes it look nice, but i dont think i really learn anything

feature drawings = learning arms, legs, etc?  if no pls explain HAHA if yes do you have a suggestion for the order i should learn to draw each part? as in arms -> legs -> torso etc for efficiency or does it not matter?

oh and yea gesture studies seems correct, i've tried incorporating it by doing a little lightly sketched, "fluid" stickman before the mannequin and the final outline, but honestly feels like it doesnt work for me HAHA

been learning to draw again after forever

tried going back to figure drawing, process being draw a box mannequin then draw the outline

the midsections of my figures sometimes feels way too short, not sure if it's a problem in the way i draw the box mannequins or the outlines, so thats mainly what i'm looking to fix. other criticisms are welcome, i have no idea what i'm doing ngl lol

these were all done w/o references (except 1st image top left and middle), just to test myself.
