added comment inProject - Gestural Torso Boxes
Asked for help
I definitely started running out of ideas by the end of the imagination boxes. I was also experimenting with line weight and quality. I think I started to get the hang of it by the end, but I also tended to make the torso not wide enough for how deep they were. I also think I possibly moved too far away from boxes at some times, I usually focuses on the hard(er) forms of the pelvis and rib cage, then connected the two with a softer section.
To end on a positive note, I do like how most of them felt tangibly 3D. Some were pushed too far, but as they say, if you have an omelette without broken eggs, something probably went wrong.

I think I still need some practice, but its definitely helping me make more interesting structures. I'll keep working on it while using perspective in the future.

@Ahmed Aldoori Hi Ahmed 😊,
Is the course mostly geared towards portrait painting? Would I be able to apply the knowledge gained here on full figures/characters?
Thank you.
It is definitely geared toward portraits, but the painting fundamentals should apply to full figures.

The root on the left was from photo reference with a high angle where the model's head and chest were coming towards the camera, but I think the posing of the two characters breaks that illusion since the right side character doesn't have similar foreshortening. Either way, lessons learned and it was a great opportunity to revisit appealing shapes. Edit: I added a followup I did after watching the critique.

It took me awhile to get used to it, but I think I got the hang of it in the end. I tried to tilt the head of a buck, but tilting the antlers was way hard than I was expecting.

With the last one, I tried to rotate the pose, but I think I changed the posture quite a bit by mistake.
In hindsight, I think I misunderstood the blobs to boxy torsos section, I ended up doing full figures

You pushed the assignment and the pose but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. That’s a great problem to have.
I tried to doodle something quick to show you how I might have turned that pose. I matched the angle of the pole with that leg coming forward as a design decision. I like finding matching angles across the figure.
You twisted your guy more and exaggerated the pose. That’s awesome.
Great work on this assignment.

I was having difficulties with pulling clean straights and ellipses, warmups helped quite a bit. It also took me some time to understand why we needed to consider minor and major axis, though I think I have the hang of it now.

It took awhile to see the boxes in the hand. I found it really helped starting with a single plane, then figure out the angle needed to project it into a cube.

This exercise was great, I feel like I have a much better grasp of how to put a portrait into perspective.
