    Hello! I'd appreciate any critique on some of these poses I've drawn recently. I've been reading the book FORCE - Dynamic Life Drawing (Michael Mattesi) and watching videos by the same author, and it's inspired me to practice more figure drawing. I would highly recommend reading it. I also plan to read Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

    I still have a lot of practice to do, but I'm pretty happy with a few of these.

    your drawings seem to establish pretty well the force of the pose.

    I suggest you should take more importance to the legs since they don't seem to distribute the weight of the person you are drawing, one suggestion is to draw one vertical line from a man's torso and then distribute both feets in equal distance from that line, in case the weight is on one foot draw it in the center of that line. One more thing, don't draw each muscle yet, each curve is supposed to be based on the previous curve and give it fluidity, your approach was more building them based on memory and it disrupts the dynamysm of the drawing.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I'll keep that in mind for next time.
