Asked for help
Hi, i got a new upgrade on my small screenless tab now im on screen display which is sick. totally paid off my hardwork. now this is my output on the assignment. i did a little freehand on skelly and was happy about it. then again i'm having trouble about proportions especially pelvis and ribcages. what do you think? would love some critiques. thank you so muchhhhh!!!!

Hey, Jeth
You really worked hard on these. Your line quality is ok, and your assignments are very organized and clean which makes it very easy to correct. The only thing i would like is that you would number each exercise. It makes easier pointing out stuff like "number one has wrong proportions, number 3 should be more twisted."
I think you're having problems mainly with your anatomy knowledge. You're constantly drawing spines too thin. Since in your Skellys tracings the spines have the correct thickness I'm guessing that you're seeing the line in the back and you're concluding that's the spine. In reality we cannot see the spine in the surface. It's further deep in the body. What we see are the processes (the spikes) of the spine. It's the backbone of our body. It must be strong, so make it thicker!
The reason you're having problems with the proportions of the pelvis and the rib cages is because your ignoring the land marks. The bucket has a specific way of fiting in the body. Part of it's top coincides with the bony landmarks in the side (the bottom part of the muffin top) and the tip of the Saccrum touches the middle of the bottom of the bucket. The same thing happens with the rib cage. You need to understand the landmarks to place the forms accordingly.
So, review the review the sections on the pelvis and the rib cage. Pay special attention on the land marks and finally try this exercise again. Also you can try watching Stan's critique videos. They address a lot of common mistakes that you may commit and potential solution for them.
Keep drawing and
Best regards

This is my attempt to skelly. I did my best doing this and understanding the joints. So far it seems fun, but I kinda messed up on my hands. I really can't quite draw it well so I need more practice on it. I hope it's good.
your line work is really good but you still need to work on your perspective and most of your joints are blended in example your radial joint. Keep the good work.

Hi this is my attempt, I was trying not to copy Proko's trace. I solely rely on what I see, but I think I miss a lot of parts. I was having difficult in lines because I'm using a small drawing tablet size of my hand. So you can see some chicken/scratch lines.

Hi @jeth, great job!
Don´t worry if getting the anatomy right is hard at this point. Stan just wanted to show tracings in the beginning since it's an exercise that you can use as a study tool when you dive deeper into the course. The thing to take with you from this lesson is how to do an anatomy tracing.
The two things I look for in a tracing are:
1. Varying lineweight; thicker for the border of muscles and thinner for the muscle fibers. This gives clarity to the tracing
2. Fiber-lines going all the way. I want to be clear with how the fibers track so I like to draw them all the way from where they originate to where they insert, and not just indicate them floating in the middle of the muscle.
I hope this was helpful :)
