Tired man (25 minute figure drawing)
© 2022 HyperguyThis is one of the better figure drawings I've done lately. I'm quite happy about it, but I'd love to get some critique on what could be better! Thanks.

I love the face on this one! And your feet are chunked up nicely. Anatomy is like knowing how a bunch of puzzle pieces connect together so where they lace together like in the hip is important. You are leaving out some major areas. I hate to be harsh but I don’t think you are ready to be chunking up a body quite like this. Although you could work from a morpho book to build up your knowledge slowly, attempting to visualize anatomy through a figure is very advanced.( Instagram atiler.morpho)
Your promotions look good. It’s the structure that you need to focus on next. The hip box appears to be at the wrong orientation. Like it’s stuck to the leg. The line for the pectoral muscles should get sucked up into the arm and not wrap around the body. The rectus abdominus.(Abbs) should be off center because the surface is round. These are mostly structural issues. Give me a minute, I will draw a breakdown.
your cross countour lines will teach you a lot! And they line up with the leg.

Thank you for the comment. I appreciate your feedback and especially appreciate you taking the time to explain the elements you are critiquing. I've come back to drawing recently, but never really learned anatomy or structure before so it's hard to know what is good/bad and why. Your feedback helps me understand what's important in figure/anatomy drawings. I now understand that my drawing mainly lacked structure, and I will definitely work on that to improve! 😁
Your welcome! It’s good for you to try difficult things, you don’t want to get stuck where you are comfortable.
