Asked for help
Hello everyone. I have been drawing leisurely for 5 years, but I had to learn the hard way that I did not practice the fundamentals enough. So here I am, at the drawing basics course.
Anyway, here are my attempts. I'm a little proud of 1st and 2nd images. The 3rd image…is actually my *first* attempt at this project, but I just wanted to put this out there so you can see my progression.
Please critique my 1st and 2nd images, thank you.

It looks like you have a very good understanding of simplification, shapes and values. This is advanced work. It's cool to see your progress as well, thanks for sharing!
Something that might help you is to squint at the image. It helps reduce the subtle value shifts so you can see and interpret the major shapes. Your pear drawing looks great when you squint at it. The portrait looks good overall, but the shadow shape under the cheekbone sticks out to me a bit more than it does in the reference image. I made that shape a bit bigger and put a gaussian blur filter on it to see the overall effect. You may see other things you want to adjust using this technique. Hope that is helpful to you!
Here are ribcages drawn from even more angles. Tbf I might be too bored to draw them at all angles! But I think my ribcages are looking better than before. Feedback appreciated.
Again, the refs I used: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/ribcage-simplification-4-357e5f944b7446b396a6bcb63ac2afd6
Hello, I drew the ribcage several times in different angles. I'm having a hard time making sure if each of them is correct. Are they a bit too tall? Thank you in advance.

Hey Wenhan Lee,
I like your drawings, they have a lot of gesture which is really good, very expressive. I did some sketches of your poses that I think might help you. Make sure you really look at the poses carefully to really see what the masses of the body are doing. Always look for where the weight is distributed, all the tilts and perspectives. I hope you find this helpful :)

Hi Wenhan, They look pretty good. Looking at the refs, maybe on the middle drawing you could show a bit of ribcage top plane and pelvis back plane. It would provide a bit more visual info and make the pose more dynamic and interesting. Check out Stan's tips on exaggeration in the gesture drawing vids. V useful!

References. Also, I think my drawing on the right is a bit inaccurate because the pelvis is not wide enough (the bellybutton is also not on the right place).
Hello,
As a novice at figure drawing, I've wanted to study the torso more in-depth. But to make sure I got the basics down, I did three 2-min gesture drawings with robo beans.
It's been a while since I have drawn robo beans, so constructive criticism is appreciated. References are in the comment section down below. Thanks.
