If you want to draw buildings, then its best to work on drawing buildings, you can use the head method to help getting use to drawing things from a box but it’s not necessary, hope that helps :)

240428. Pelvis practice drawings. Notebook size B6 125x176mm (4.9x6.9"). HB Mechanical pencil.

I’d agree that you’re right about the proportions, in addition, I’d recommend that you simplify your approach to this figure starting with gestures, then build on top with boxes. The reason I say this is because the bumps and outer contour makes it look stiff

Hey @cchapman3, I did a quick sketch to show you the best way to simplify the body into simple shapes. I hope it helps :)

Added one more picture as an update, this is the leg I’m mainly having trouble understanding and because it’s the way it’s angle. It’s giving a twist motion to me which is why simplifying it into a box is harder compared the other leg. It messed with it for a while and got somewhat of an understanding by looking at my own leg. I just wanna make sure I’m on the right track before going back to anatomy

Feedback needed

Did a bone drawing for the feet before I move on to the next drawing, would appreciate if I made errors with the talus location and foot design for when it connects to the leg, thanks!

The hip joint is too high. You have it going up to the iliac crest. The tibia is medial and forms the medial Malleolus (bump at the ankle). It does not curve around the foot bones. Looks like you may have combined the talus (foot bone) w/ the tibia. It’s difficult to draw but, I attempted it anyway. Hope it will be helpful to you.

Feedback please, im tryna be someone in life!

It looks like you left out the tibialis anterior and the insertion tendon of the flexor digitorum longus. Some of the adductor muscles are missing and look out of place.

just wanted to wanted to practice values on the torso and I called myself keeping the shapes simple before adding value, I appreciate any feedback on it to see what I can improve thanks! PS, sorry for the multiple postings, still getting use to posting critiques

Hey cchapman3, The exercise of doing two value sketches is a good one, it helps us to see values as either shadow or light. Now, if you look at your reference again, and squint down your eyes until they are almost closed, you will see only shadow and light. What you did was add light were there wasn't any. It's common for beginners to get confused by reflected light because they don't squint down enough. I took your first image and did a quick sketch to show you what I mean. Also, pay attention to your proportions, which you can do by doing a structural drawing to make sure everything is correct. I hope this helps :)

Critique Welcomed!

This is my attempt, need critiques..
