From my last pic I can tell that I need to practice drawing legs/feet and arms/hands (the latter to a lesser extent, but still. And I was also told to draw skeletons for the characters or they look "bloby". Taken as note, but this time we dive into a different territory.

My good old bud  slackerjaw re-appeared and gave me a few tips. I informed him that I already did use reference, but he said that if I want to work as a computer graphic artist, I need to be quick. SURE sometimes I'll have a whole week for a drawing, but sometimes I'll just have 1 afternoon! So here's the exercise he told me about: draw a character in 5 minutes, then stop and draw another character.

I have to say that I felt joyfully surprised by this! I always said that speed is also a valuable trait for an artist. SURE, I sometimes also sit on an artwork for HOURS, but we can't have that always. As you can see, I did it whole 9 characters. And to be honest, I was VERY nervous about the whole deal at first, but to be honest, in average all of these drawings were done at about 4 minutes 30 seconds (1 being much quicker (top left) and 1 being on the 5 minute borderline (top middle) ).

Look, I'm not saying these are masterpieces, but in all fairness, taking into consideration that each of these characters was drawn in under 5 minutes, isn't it at least a bit positive?
