Hi @Philip, nice studies! Great to hear that you're practicing drawing from imagination as well! I'll try to look for things to improve on: - I think the belly button ended up a litte low in drawings 6, 7 & 4. - I think the origin ended up a little low in all of these. I think the pubic crest starts above the genetalia. THE FIGURE DRAWING COURSE I think what would help you improve the fastest would be to go through the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course. When your gesture and structure are strong, the anatomy and shading will improve automatically. If you'd like, you could tag me in your next post and I could take a look at your gesture quicksketches. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work! PS Here's a little story from my life: 5 years ago when I decided I wanted to learn how to draw the figure ( I wanted to learn how to draw Tarzan XD, that's why. I've been a huge fan of Disney's Tarzan since I was a baby :D ), I found Proko's anatomy course. I started taking it but felt like something was missing when i compared my drawings to Stan's, so I went to the figure drawing course instead. I´m so glad I did! It gave me exactly what I wanted!; being able to draw gestural 3-dimensional figures, from imagination. I learned the most important part about drawing Tarzan! I realized that rather than thinking of the figure drawing course being an obstacle in front of the anatomy course, it is more like the Anatomy 1 course.

Very good!

@Maria J Answering your question in the image: his torso is slightly bent and twisted, so the abs should follow that motion. Make sure not to just draw the muscle's shape, but to actually track it from origin to insertion. Hope this helps, let us know if there's anything else you don't understand about it so we can discuss it further!
