I did the girls yesterday, so this morning I retried the guys. These took longer than 1 minute each though. Guy anatomy/diversity is one of my bigger weaknesses.
I suppose part of it is girls have chest size and hip size ratio that offers a bit more diversity...where as for me, most guy variation will come from how defined muscles are. And I fully admit I'm not the most stellar when it comes to muscles. Something to work on I suppose.
As a side note, I realize it may be bad form to flood ones FA with scraps and doodles rather than fully finished art. So this will probably be the last sktech for a bit until I finish some actual content.

I'm cool with doodles, Amber. Though finished pics are nice… nah, you just do what you want to do. It is your FA profile.
Hm… clockwise from the top left corner: a fox, a hippo, a bull or bison, a young deer, possibly a kangaroo, a cat of some kind, a rhino, and an aardvark. How did I do?

Close. The hippo was meant to be a beaver and the aardvark an anteater.
I'll prolly take a break from doodles unless I do one that I particularly think is nice. Usually I doodle a bit before starting the comic each day and 99% of the doodles never see the light of day. As tempting as it would be to have "daily doodles" updated, I figure thats borderline pushing things.
Luckily I have some actual artwork I can work on this upcoming weekend once I'm done with the comic updates for the week.

My figures are not as diverse as I'd like them to be...but I'm working on it. I confess drawing figures standing in a generic pose makes it a lot easier. If I was to try drawing one of the really muscular or really heavy figures doing some dynamic pose or odd angle, odds are I would fall flat on my face.
Then again dynamic poses and foreshortening is another one of my big hangups.
I suppose part of the reason I am posting doodles is it helps me personally make a tally of areas I could use more work on...or in some cases, people who have advice on the matter. If anything, kind of like with the comic itself, it lets some peeps see some of the trial and error behind all the finished artworks.

I suppose, but I see a whole lot of diversity. I even think of how your comic looks in production, and yes, even though many of the females have a similar level of "fitness," let's say, there is incredible diversity in design.
And I think also that the doodles you're doing here speak to that. So I think you are doing a great thing here.

Mmmmmmm, I don't mind ya posting doodles. While they're not as fancy or wonderful as your finished pieces, they DO give a small insight to some of your creative process, and I always find that cool to see. Sorta like a "Behind the scenes" view or something.
No I don't know what I'm talking about. BUT I DO SO PROUDLY :D

I love your anteater's figure. At least, I'm pretty sure the bottom left is an anteater. Is very lovely :}
Great work, I find that seeing other people practice anatomy helps me to better understand it ^^ And I can completely sympathise with you regarding difficulty in drawing males x_x;
