Hi Braydon Good job on getting all those muscles into the skeleton. They are all there and most of them in the right places. I see a few mistakes in where you have attached some of the muscles. For example the trapezius originates on the base of the skull, a bit lower than where you put it. The sternocleidomastoid inserts into the mastoid process of the skull. (You can feel this process behind your ear) a bit lower and to the front of where you put it. Also check your lats and abs, especially in the side view. I wonder what your studying process is. Trying to add muscles onto a skeleton is quite hard, I usually try to copy from a 3D model first (Proko’s are great), then trace some real pictures, then I go back to my copies to see if I need to adjust or change anything, and after all that I try to draw them from imagination. This helps to understand the form of these muscles. I imagine them a bit like worms, or even horns sometimes. I also focus on a few muscles only. Maybe two or three. I also look a lot and draw over the Houdon model. You can find some images of a corrected version by Scott Eaton. One last thing, colour coding helps me a lot. hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions. Dani

Hi Just a quick note on your own feedback. I feel you’re so hard on yourself. Here is something you can try which might help. Make your feedback a preparation for your next iteration (draw it again and again by the way don’t just stare at it for hours lol) for example, instead of: 2-The wrist is completely wrong (has no 3D aspect to it), even though I know the wrist has a rectangle shape to it I still managed to mess it up.  simply write this: 2-Make the wrist more dimensional, use a rectangle. Your feedback on 4 is much better. Much kinder and useful. Another thing, when you ask for feedback it is useful to add the reference you used, so we can check. Unless this is from imagination of course. If it is, I would try to use reference first. Hope this helps Dani

Hi @silentmoonss , no worries, I love to talk about these things. Ím happy to help. i believe the problem is that you got the pose right but when you exaggerated, you just drew the same pose in a more extreme way. This works sometimes, but not in this case, I think that pulling her torso down to the right would be super uncomfortable, and she might even fall. So we have to change the pose to compensate for the exaggeration. This might seem super complicated, but luckily we all have a body, so we can just try taking the pose ourselves. There we find all the answers. A story also helps, here are my stories for this pose, yours might be similar or very different as will be your exaggerations.. let me know if you have any questions, and Ím looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Good job, as usual. Keep working this way and you’re going to see a lot of improvement. I agree with you on how hard it is to balance proportions and energy.not to mention structure and line. I still struggle with these things myself. I agree with @kotka, number three is my favourite too. I have added a few things for you to think about. Mainly, what does the apex of our line communicate. I hope this helps. I’ve also added some ideas relating to how these rhythms connect. One thing that really helped me was to actually draw arrows at the end of my lines. let me know if you have any questions. (I love questions by the way)

Hi, great work as usual. I love all the work you did designing the helmet, and the character is a lot of fun. I agree with @Steve Lenze notes on the eyes. They are one of the hardest parts to draw. As for the figure drawing, here are some notes on the way the force method works. Hope it helps. Take a look at this video too. It explains the types of torso you can find. It’s quite long but very valuable. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SL2H5JquELg As for the limbs, you want to get to a similar point as with the right screen arm, there you created a path which describes how the arm connects. It helps to try different things, and see which works best. Lots of quick drawings of the same figure will teach you more than one slow drawing of many figures. let me know if you have any doubts!

Hi! Good job. I love that you keep on doing fun drawings and combining them with your studies. I also agree with @prymitywizm that your line is very good. I have done a few critiques on gesture drawings before, so you can take a look at some of the images on my profile https://www.proko.com/@danimctigue/albums/gesture My main note, for you, is that you are drawing too much. What we think of as gesture depends on the teacher, but I’m of the force school. To me, the important part of gesture is trying to find the rhythms not the shapes (that comes later) This way we are able to think of the body as one thing only. So the gesture is not just about what the story is, but how all the different parts connect to tell that story. I know this sounds a bit vague, but it isn’t. Gesture is pretty straightforward. Read some of my critiques and make sure to post some of the reference images next to the drawings next time, that way I can be more specific. keep up the good work.
