Hi, here is my work for the assignment. I wanted to do a few and get some feedback before working on more. Number 2 was a little difficult because the ear didn’t seem to be the angle for that side of the box. I also had some trouble finding the top of the box. Is it supposed to be the hairline, or the top of the head? The latter is easier to find when the head is level with the ground, but more difficult if it’s tilted.

Hi there, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I enjoyed doing this project. I started off by drawing on top of the image to find the rhythms connecting different parts of the body. Then I removed those lines and drew it again just looking at the image. I tried focusing on line work as well since that tends to be a weakness of mine. I’m not sure all my rhythm lines help show the flow or structure of the figures, but I would appreciate any critiques.

cat with an attitude :)

Here is my submission for this assignment. I might do another, as I feel like I didn’t end up doing as much as what seemed necessary for the assignment. I just couldn’t think of what else to add that would’ve enhanced the drawing, as bears don’t have many patterns or details.

Hi everyone! Here is my work for this assignment. I did this one digitally. I’m not sure if I simplified enough. I might need to try a new brush, as the lines all seem a bit too similar. Not enough variation. I struggled a bit with the big curves of the skeleton captain’s hat. I had to split those lines to make them accurate.

Any tips on how to better ghost and only draw on certain parts? Maybe I need to slow down my ghosting, but I keep touching the paper on the wrong spots.

Here is my work for this assignment. I have experience drawing, but I think I bit off more than I could chew. I struggled with dividing the shadows into two distinct groups. I had some problems with getting the lighter areas divided into three groups as well. I would appreciate any additional feedback anyone may have. Although I have a lot to improve, this is my first time drawing in a while, so I feel like it’s better than what I expected.

A bit unrelated, but what kind of pencil are you using? it looks like a mechanical pencil, but allows for more of the edge of the graphite to be used.

Hey everyone! Here is my submission for the shoulder assignment. I found this lesson to be much more difficult than the previous ones. I tried doing more drawings from Anthony, since I think having a muscular build is more difficult, and I thought it would be better practice. I struggled a bit with not only finding the shoulder bones, but also the rib cage. I tried a few more with thinner models like Veronica and Chanon, but I still struggled a bit with finding the correct placement, especially when limbs were covering the bones or they were foreshortened. I think I was a bit more successful, however. I'm still struggling with the linework, and I've been doing practices, I think my main issue is drawing small, since it makes me switch to my wrist, even though I'm more accustomed to drawing the main forms with the rest of my arm. I've tried drawing bigger, but I always find that I tend to shrink things down as I make corrections. Drawing F was the largest I drew, and I think it is much clearer than the others. Please let me know what you think and how I could improve. I plan on studying a bit more with some tracings before moving on to the muscle lessons, but I'd like to know what to continue focusing on as I move forward. Thanks! :)

Hello! Here are some extra practices for the ribcage. I think I was able to handle the ribcage pretty well, but I think the hardest part was any foreshortening, as well as drawing the ribcage from the back. I think I could have exaggerated the pose a bit with some of these, as they seem more static than the original pose. I tried redrawing a couple of the poses to capture the actual model more accurately. I also had some trouble with the pelvis. I think I have a grasp on the bucket and how to draw it, but drawing it from the model seems to be more difficult. I was considering doing what the one individual did in the critiques video and draw the ribcage and pelvis from every angle (or at least turned by 15 degrees with each drawing, but that seems like a large feat! Do you have any tips on improving on drawing the ribs from the back? I think the bottom right image of Laura was especially difficult, and I don't think I captured the corm correctly. I really tried to keep the perspective correct, but let me know if you have any critiques on that. Otherwise, I think other issues are more related to the pelvis. I think I'm going to try some tracings over some images of the models to see if it helps me better find the pelvis and ribs. Is this a good idea? Please let me know if there are other ways I could improve. Thanks!!
