Figure Practice 3

More practice! I wouldn’t mind critiques anatomy wise. I’m still working on getting better at it.

I like the way you've capture the planar angles of the lower body. The face is also well capture at this low level of detail, however you should take care to not loose mass on the back of the skull. The model's head was likely larger than you've captured.

As to areas of improvement, the upper body lacks some of the same weight and volume you succeeded on elsewhere. Particularly the shoulder blades and the upper arms. There's an unnatural sharpness to the elbows thats flattening the whole arm. It's likely there was some bony elements that you were seeing - but its a smaller level of detail that the rest of the drawing and the point is extending past the gesture of the shape.

It's great to notice those details, but keep track of the overall look and doing consistent level of detail.

Hello again.

Nicest work on your finest display of anatomy, construction, gesture, and lines of action. Therefore, the bone and muscle anatomy in the torso and hips are still too stilted but scratchiest yet. How would you like to just go with loosening up your ribcages and pelvises with 5 minutes of 30 second part studies?

The reason why is because of one thing, to make your ribcages and pelvises the least contrived but the most loosest and liveliest yet in one single stroke. For most info, please look into a copy of Sarah Simblet's Anstomy For The Artist.

Let's hope they've been always helpful.
