Dibujo de figuras para principiantes: dibuja brazos

Thank you for your patience. These are not too bad. First thing I'll say is to watch out for the size of the hands in relation to the rest of the arm. If you need a measurement guide the forearm is approximately 2 times the length of the hand. For the overall shape on construction, your upper arms are look fine, the forearms however are a little bit inconsistent. The best shape to have in mind when drawing the fore arms is a sort of 'bowling pin', almost a bulging cylinder shape. Another thing to keep in mind about there arms is that forearm bulge will shift depending on what direction the forearm is positioned. If it's positioned thumb side out, the most of the bulge will happen on the outside. If the forearm is turning over with the thumb towards the body, that bulge happens on the inside. Take a look at your own arm to see this and take note of how it move mechanically and how the shape changes slightly. So, practice up on the form arm shape a bit more. But keep this up! Let me know if you have any questions! :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to give such thoughtful feedback! I know I submitted a lot all at once, and that isn't ideal for being able to incorporate changes in my next sketches. All of your observations and suggestions make complete sense. I am looking forward to refocusing on proportions, as that seemed the most consistent theme across my assignments - eyes, torso, hands, fingers. In retrospect, I don't take enough time setting up the form before trying to polish things up. I think I'll go back and practice a number of these again but without the timer. I have a hard time knowing the clock is ticking and not producing a more completed drawing, but that just ends in a bad drawing. 

Thanks again for all your instruction. I'm looking forward to repeating the lessons and going through the others you have on here as well. Your pace and style of teaching have been the most helpful and realistic that I've found on here, and I never expected such individualized responses.

No problem!  With regards to the clock, the clock is only there to force you to make a decision, not to draw perfect sketches.  What happens without that clock is that it's easy for us to get suckered into erasing and redrawing the pose over and over again trying to perfect it.  Doing this makes it difficult for us to learn from our mistakes. The clock forces you to commit to your choices, and sometimes those choices will not end up the way you hoped.  So, if you want to try and draw the whole figure in two minutes, you may very well draw a really good gesture sketch, but the figure may be lacking in form and proportion. On the flip side if you focus more on form and proportion, you may end up with a well constructed sketch, but you may have only had enough time to do a small portion of the body. So, it's a question of trade offs. In the future, try and just ignore the clock and draw as much as you can as best as you can within the time limit.  If you only get a small portion of the figure in 2 mins or 5 mins that's fine. Speed will come with practice. Think of it like exercise, it's better to do 10 push ups with correct form, than 100 push ups with incorrect form. Glad you have enjoyed the classes! Feel to leave reviews if you wish, really helps get the word out. :)

Hello I'm sorry, I somehow missed this one accidentally. I'll get you some feedback later today. apologies!
