Hi Becky, I'm not seeing your work, just the reference

Hey! Sorry about not posting the drawing. I was able to find materials for a BG btw. Although I put it in lazily.

I want to learn the proportions of children in different ages. I know that Loomis´s "figure drawing for all it´s worth" has diagrams, but in Hale´s "Drawing Lessons From the Great Masters" he mentions "Rimmer´s anatomy" having the best plates. Tried googeling, but I had a hard time finding it. Dose anyone know about it? Maybe there´s an even better alternative?

great work!

I think these are incredibly well done! The forms are super dynamic and you can really feel the twisting, the pulling, the stretching and the motion in these. You clearly have a great understanding of the figure! I’ll definitely check out that video. Thanks for sharing!

I've been practicing the robo bean for 3 days now. I feel like I understand it and the landmarks for it much better. Now, I can draw it more confidently and feel like I'm capturing the pose ok. Although my first few drawings in this session weren't very accurate, they set off so many lightbulbs. I especially had trouble finding the ASIS when I first started. Now, I can kind of imagine the wing-looking things of the pelvis. It's exciting! Although, I definitely have some mistakes. I've progressed! That's all I can about. The fact that I'm slowly but surely getting better. I appreciate any and all feedback. Note: In my pictures, the ones that are circled are my attempts at the references in Proko's example video (the free one.) They are off, but I learned a lot from them. Some tips (from my limited knowledge): - Use the bean as a base - try to start off with gesture, then the bean, and then I usually can visualize the corners of the box and go from there! - Make a diagram of an imaginary robo bean with labels of what each corner's landmark is - It really helped me at first.

hi, I think you are on the right track. the proportions seem a bit off, especially the male ones. Their torso and upper arms are huge and the heads look tiny in comparison. Getting proportions right I think is something that comes with practice.

These are really rad! The volume fo the form and the perspective is really well done here and the previous studying you've done is definitely showing! As you draw one thing I'd recommend to keep an eye on is the height and width relationships. Some things such as the horse and rhino's faces seem a bit wide, and the neck on the rooster is reading too thin. You can use comparative measurement to help check these. Remember to keep checking these relationships throughout the drawing process because things do have a way of "drifting" or mistakes from earlier that you didn't catch are now being caught.

Someone who's new to drawing more professionally and want to practice using the pencil in the beginning. So I watch Proko's "how to hold and control the pencil" before I move onto practicing figure drawing. These are a few drawings I have done in practice and would appreciate feedback and critique in regards to this. I plan on spending these past 6 months exclusively practicing pencil exercises and figure drawing to improve my skill during any free time I have. What do people also recommend as far as practice goes?

Your foundation drawing looks really nice . keep it up

Nice work!

Hi! I did 12 drawings using the landmarks total. The landmarks I saw are usually marked by a dot or ellipse/circle. It didn't seem too hard during it. Tbh I'm kind of proud of how it came it out although it definitely has proportional errors. I was mainly focusing on trying to put the landmarks in. All other lines were just to draw the rest of the body. I appreciate ANY and ALL feedback. Should I move on? Thanks!

Hi Becky, the horse is the one that came out best, you realised that some parts are stiff and are useful to indicate the twisting of the torso. For the hen: I would advise you to treat the head more as a wedge, and the legs as more angular shapes, they are pretty much all bone, sinew and skin. The rhino's shoulders should be treated exactly as you did the horse's: they are a block connected to the spine into which the legs fit. When drawing animals, remember that there are constants (more than anything else, remembering this makes your life a lot easier). Everyone has a backbone (unless we are talking about invertebrates), if we are talking about animals (reptiles, amphibians or birds) with legs, the first thing to do is to identify the 4 main forms. The first two are the pelvis and the shoulders, which you can generally represent as boxes connected to the spine, and then an ovoid shape for the thoracic gabba, which is connected to the shoulders (just like for humans. If you have done the exercise for the human body you will also know how to do it for animals, the proportions change, the posture, but the base is the same). The last big shape is the head, which you can represent with a wedge, a circle or a combination of shapes and planes depending on the subject (and your experience). The legs (or fins or wings) fit into the shoulders and pelvis, start by defining the gesture and then building the structure on top of it. Don't fall into the habit of always representing them as cylinders or cones, because very often the legs, for example in herbivores (gazelles, deer, horses, etc.) are extremely thin and what you see is almost exclusively bone, tendon and skin, so closer to very thin boxes or wedges than to rounded shapes. Don't get me wrong, your sketches are very good, I only mention these things to help you take the next step if you are interested in continuing to draw animals. :)

Damn, those are some good studies! I wish I had your determination. All of them are great, even the connections, except the 4th one in the 7th photo, that connection isn't anatomically possible as is too closed together and angled. A more subtle angle and it's already a great fix. Keep up the great work, you are already a great arist!

Hi! It's looking quite good!! In my opinion if you want to have some "young force" to it, maybe you could try buff out the muscles? Maybe if you can go with some artistic exaggeration that doesn't really align with the anatomy? Rhinos looks to me are mostly "dull and lazy" on television, they seem to have saggy skin. Maybe you can give it a pose that have more potential, like something indicating it's "preparing for a jump"?
