This was my first Proko project! I have never drawn anything with strictly straight lines and hard edges, it was really fun and made me think of the subject in a totally different way.. anyways ~ if anyone happens to see this post it would mean so much to receive some critique! Also, I would love to create some community and keep an eye on each others work, too!
(this was done before watching Stan's demo)

Consider simplifying the front edge of that core shadow, making the larger 'bay' of grey into a lake of grey, rather. I can see an edge to in the reference just in front of it. The urge to push details for 'realism' is real, believe me but here, try to simplify the shapes.

doing exaggeration from the reference picture provided. I tried to exaggerate without looking from the exaggerated picture first, turns out to be different.
did I exaggerate too much ? I hope i can get some feedbacks..
thank you..

Consider that when the model leans back this far, to maintain balance, she will have to push hips forward more, causing more tension in the thighs. Meaning: there would be more bending at the hips and a rounder midsection into the thighs. The bottom of the ribcage would also be pushing out through the skin. Look at the reference on the far right. See how just in this position her lower ribs are strongly pushing outward?

A drawing I did for my FORCE mentorship, highlighting the muscles of the shoulder girdle. Not perfect, but a huge stride from where I was a week before that.

Did I find it useful?! Is that even a question? Bizzare? My brain is buzzing with excitement! The analysis of the tension between rational and humanist programs of the Reniassance was so effing refreshing to hear in a drawing demo. So good!
I'm in mentorship on DrawingForce.com and sort of jumped into the deep end with "serious" drawing study. My fundamentals up to that point being either self-taught in near vacuum or learned in high-school 25 years ago. This demo just validated all the months and months of hard work of building up the fundamentals and inexorably shifted everything I will do from here forward. Everything I've learned so far hangs so nicely upon this frame you have built.
I would love to buy your book but it isn't available on Canadian Amazon!
Also, what is the 4th thing on the "Why" List?
Gratefully, Josh
