    These are quite amazing! I never thought of taking that approach! I studied Loomis for a bit but I couldn't get past the lighting section. His books are quite hard to stick with, for sure.

    I'm not sure on what advice I could give you for I think you've far exceeded my own abilities XD But perhaps maybe you could try experimenting with the other proportion sets Loomis mentions on page 28. Of course, only if you're up to challenge yourself further. I definitely know how hard it is to stick with this kind of work, and for that I commend you :)

    also, remember to experiment with your own poses without a model. He mentions this on page 41, I believe

    If I were to pitch in my perspective here......

    Don't stunt yourself with just drawing from photos. Make sure you put in some time for free drawing poses without reference. Andrew Loomis actually talks about this. This website is great but it won't give you everything you need to know when drawing, it should only serve as a stepping off point so that you can keep yourself grounded with solid form.

    The point of reference is to refer to it. If you only draw from photos than you will oftentimes run into this very same problem over and over. The internet is abundant but it won't have everything you're looking for.

    I understand that it may feel awkward to draw without reference at first, but you won't be able to remember the human form as well otherwise. Get loose and try to understand these shapes in your own way. Next time you look at a reference photo, try to understand the fundamental shapes that make it up and see if you can manipulate them into your own pose. This is how characters and stories are made. Don't get caught up in copying what's already there.
