Body drawings
I really wanna improve the fluidity of my body drawings. I feel that they don't flow as nicely as they could. I would also like to improve the way I draw and sketch feet and hands. Sometimes they come out nice, and other times not so much. I want to find a way to draw them nicely every time.

#XPPenTutorialPractice My entry for the challenge!
I really enjoyed the principles in this tutorial! For my practice, I focused on creating 4 sketches: two male and two female, exploring structural differences and body masses. It felt like a gesture drawing exercise but with way more structure and weight.Lately, what I want to improve most in my figure drawings is finding that sweet spot between dynamic movement and solid structural anatomy, ensuring my poses look natural and full of life.Thanks for the challenge!#XPPenTutorialPractice

#XPPenTutorialPractice HOW WOULD YOU DRAW BODY?
In my figure drawings, what I generally want to improve is seeing the body as part of a flow—that is, creating a drawing that conveys movement and flow rather than a stiff, static figure. I generally don’t fully understand shapes, so I start by trying to understand everything through simplified geometric shapes. For example, as I shared in my post, I visualize cubes, spheres, and similar shapes as having specific flows This is how I do it—how should you do it?

Easy Way to Draw Hair
This tutorial teaches a simple method for drawing hair: divide the hairstyle into large blocks, draw the main hair clumps, and add smaller details.Video Tutorial:https://community.xp-pen.com/tutorial/details?collection_type_id=96&collection_id=96&entry=av_barChoose and Study a ReferenceStart with a reference image and look for three things:The general direction of the hairThe overall volumeThe silhouette of the hairstyleThink of the hair like a sculpture. Notice where it puffs up, where it falls, and how the shape sits around the head.Divide the Hair Into Large BlocksBreak the hairstyle into a few large sections. For example, you can separate the left side, the right side, and the bangs. These blocks help build the structure of the hairstyle and make the silhouette easier to read. For simple or spiky hair, one main block may be enough. Keep the space between the head and the outer layer of hair balanced. It should not be too large or too small.Add the Main Hair ClumpsOnce the big shapes are in place, draw the main hair clumps. The clumps should follow the direction of the block they belong to. If the hair mass flows to the right, the clumps should move right. If the hair falls downward, the clumps should follow gravity. Use wider clumps for the main mass, then add a few thinner strands for texture. Add only a few stray hairs so the drawing stays clean. Where hair clumps overlap in shadowed areas, press a little harder on the line to add depth.Draw Hair From Different AnglesThe same method works from different views:Front ViewFrom the front, place the left, right, and bang blocks first. Then add the main clumps and a few smaller strands.Profile ViewIn profile view, the silhouette is especially important. Pay attention to the outer contour and how the hair falls from behind the ear. The strands often move backward or downward.Three-Quarter ViewIn a three-quarter view, you can see both the front volume and the profile silhouette. Keep more detail on the side facing the viewer and simplify the side moving away.Give it a try with a hairstyle you like, and share your drawing in the community if this method helps.

Battery replacement?
Hi, I've been using star 06 for a very long time and I like the tablet a lot, recently I notice there is a bulge behind the back and when I open it it seems like the battery for star 06 might need a replacement, I try to search for more information but I couldn't find any place selling "1050mah lithium battery" replacement that specifically state its for star 06 tablet.Only thing I found is some user said you could replace the battery with nokia ones that is also have the same statistic .... is that true? Are the battery common and as long as its a 1050mah I can just buy and replace it without worrying about the tablet? Or do I have to specifically look for a very specialize version that is only available to star 06 model?
