I think you did a great job with the skeletons and I love your enthusiasm. Looking forward to seeing your muscle studies!

I think your doing very well. You said you are struggling with the view from bottom to top. How I would go about it: I would do a few quick studys of that angle where you are just focused on getting the most simplified volumes right. Do these long bendy lines for the spine and appendages and than put some extremely simplified volumes on top of it. Do a few of such studies until you get it right than you can go a bit more detailed again, and test your understanding by drawing that angle from imagination. Additionaly I think you should try to invent some poses for the skeleton from imagination, it might be hard (it certainly was for me) but dont worry to much about it you will improve your poses in the drawing from life/video section. " I think that without a solid base I can't move forward." I agree with that to some extend, its true that the chapters are kind of building on top of the previous chapter. However its also true that all of the chapter benefit each other. You shouldnt try to completely master one chapter before moving on. Spent some time on one chapter before moving (maybe one or two weeks, but it really depends on how much you practice and how your feelling about it) to the next chapter. But dont consider a chapter finished but revisit old chapters from time to time to keep improving them. Hope that helps. Looking forward to seeing your future studies:)

Hi. I think they are all positioned correctly and are very detailed. my criticism is towards the pose, I think you could have curved the body slightly making it more interesting, so it seems very static to me and despite the beauty of all the muscles and fantastic facial details, I think it could be improved significantly with little effort

Haha! Didn't think of that XD. Nice! Great to see you attempting different poses! Nice rhythms! I'll do my best to help you further: - I think the drawings would benefit from some stronger structure. The body flows nicely, but it feels a little unclear how it's structured. Try to think of the character as built out of a distinct set of shapes, that communicates how it's built and is able to move. So for your character you might have head & body Just like in real life, the body bends in different movements, but its mass stays the same. Having a clear idea of the shapes, helps you manage this. As a rule of thumb I think it's a good idea to be aware of every part of the character as a specific shape. So when you draw the eyes for example, you design a specific shape, that you then squash and stretch into different expressions. Same for the other stuff; brows, antennas, beard etc. Like you're building a model. However, you don't necessarily have to outline every shape in your drawing. Maybe you find that the face gets too crowded if you draw the contour of the eye shape. Maybe it looks nicer if you just outline the top. Then feel free to do that. But keep the shape in mind. Thinking of the specific shapes, will also help you become a better designer, since the shapes aren't left to luck, but designed consiously. - " my goal is to improve at drawing without reference but above all to learn to draw creatures" Cool! It would be great to hear more about your art goals. Feel free to share a few works of art by artists that you admire. Not just any artwork that you like, but specifically work that is the type that you want to create. I hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
