30 min practice

Hello again, Eagle.

I really, very think you're getting to be your greatest in terms of your values and your figureness of the figure, but I feel that the gestures and edges quality still need some most loosening but with lightening up but with largest lines. How would you please care to invest in the biggest ream of tabloid paper from Staples or some other related office supply store, all just to work on the hugest paper to draw biggest?

The reason why is because of two things: First off, to help yourself use your arms the most, but second, to help you think the biggest in terms of the most pointed therefore sharpest lines. So for most all details, please just look into Fun With A Pencil by Andrew Loomis and more from Andrew. My hat's off to you!

I really like the shading it conveys form quite nicely. Proportions would need some work, I notice the torso area is longer than it should. It helps a lot putting landmarks such as skull ribcage and pelvis first and then build from there. Overall a very well done job!

I would say to practice measuring your reference and comparing it to your drawing to ensure that the placement of the figure is in the right place and the proportions are correct. This can be time-consuming and requires a lot of correction but will make your figure look accurate. I don't have the reference to compare but it looks as though the head to too big, the torso is too long and the legs are too short.

Practice breaking down the body parts into simple shapes first so that you can get the right placement. Tracing over a figure can help you to see what the basic shapes are and what the proportions should be. Tracing would be just to help you improve your eye to see correct shapes and proportions.

All the best!

I really love the torso on this one! The shading and movement in it is absolutely stunning!

The leg on the left (subject's right leg technically lol) does look a tiny bit off in my opinion, as it's drawn as if it's facing to the side, but the shading on the knee makes it look like it's bent back. The shadow looks correct, just that it goes too far out. Take this with a grain of salt of course, as I'm a fellow student, not a professional by any means
