I think they all look good except the last pelvis may have too much of an anterior tilt, she looks a little more upright than yours, but NOT by much.

Not sure completely, but I feel that with the ladies you give them a bottom part that is about twice as thick as their chest (no breasts included). I think that in this model the width of the back and the width of the pelvis area (not adding too much of the buttocks yet) is nearly the same. The waist is thinner.

These are actually pretty good. The one thing you need to pay attention to is how wide some of the planes are, in particular with the pelvis. Also, make sure you are accounting for the tilts forward or backwards of the torso. I did some sketches to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)

Hey michaelbrixx, I did some quick sketches to show you some of the things that I noticed in your drawings. Mostly, you need to focus on the corners and structure of your ribcage and pelvis. I hope this is helpful :)

Your lines are good, try seeing the structure of the bones

Also sorry for the image quality I’m not sure why the images deteriorate like that.

Feedback is appreciated!

Hi @michaelbrixx, nice studies! My favorite is the bear; I think you really managed to capture the form with those crosscontours. I'll do my best to help you further: - I would be interesting to see you fill a page with boxes, and a page of cylinders, drawn in different angles and from imagination. I have a feeling you would benefit from working on those. The more intuitively you know the building blocks, the more effortlessly you'll be able to build a creature with them. Feel free to tag me (@Jesper Axelsson ) when you post them. - One thing I found really tricky in this exercise, was to draw the joints. The connections between the major forms felt so complex, and it had to be done with the gesture maintained. It has helped me to leave out the joints at the start, and just place out the major forms. You might appreciate following this process: 1. draw the gesture (as if it was a river flowing through the body (look at how Glenn Vilppu does it at 21:00 in this Drawing Demo by Glenn Vilppu ) ) 2. then stack the forms on top. If drawing an animal feels too complex, you could just practice stacking forms on top of a random gesture line. - One thing I've found helpful when drawing form, is to try to feel the form. Similar to how you try to feel the pose in a gesture drawing, as if you were striking it yourself. I like to imagine touching the forms, just to help my brain realize that what I'm trying to draw has dimension. Also try to feel what's on the non visible side of the subject, and draw through (lightly) as if the subject was made out of glass. Drawing through is a great way to keep your constructions in check. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Hey michaelbrixx, I agree, the drawings are kind of light, but I can see that you are indeed looking for the essence of the pose. We call that gesture: it tells the "story" of the pose. I think you would benefit from drawing larger and using your whole arm to draw, not just your wrist. This will help you to create some nice flowing gesture lines. I took one of your drawings and did a quick gesture/structural drawing over it to show you what you are aiming for. I hope this helps :)

good to see you've started the figure drawing course! I've took that one to. For me, it's a bit hard to see what is going on in your sketches, they are very light. Might i suggest using a darker/ softer pencil?
