Examples of applying landmarks to your drawing.

Might be attempting too much here - using both boxes AND landmarks on a new pose. It seems the boxes have more to do with the gesture and the landmarks more to do with the anatomy...true.

Is anybody else sometimes annoyed by the disruptive trumpets in the backgroundmusic?

Yes 😂 - he made progress with this in the new courses tho!

I've got a few questions about this one, and I was hoping somebody might help me clear my head. In Stan's drawing, the angle from the teres major to the elbow seems off (I pointed it out with the red line in this screenshot). I followed Stan but measured the angle differently; but I don't know if this is actually correct because it makes the guy look like he has a really long back. Is the teres major lower on the back than I think it is?
Also, Stan marks the iliac crest so it lines up with the PSIS; but in the Landmarks of the Human Body diagram that comes with this lesson, the iliac crest is a little higher than the PSIS. When I draw my own landmarks from different photos, should I line these points up like Stan does?
Please forgive my real "correcting" tone. I definitely trust Stan's knowledge of anatomy way more than I do my own! But I'm just confused about what goes where.
Thank you all!
Sincerely,

And btw your linework looks really fine! You‘re definitly on the right way.

I think stans measurement was different cause he tried to exaggerate the movement/gesture of the figure. Its more an artistic choice than a perfect copy of the reference. Sometimes it makes sense to go over the actual proportions to get more asthetic results. If you follow his drawings trust the process and after that try to do it again on your own without looking at his example.

This was my take on the back landmarks. Any feedback is appreciated!

Here are my first couple attempts at this. I think this is a pretty challenging section.

It seems that Stan does not use the bean in this demo. Are we supposed to do it like he does in the video or do we have to use the bean and put the landmarks on it?
Jamal

I think in this lesson we were mostly concerned with identifying the landmarks on the back of a human figure. I don't think the bean comes into play until when the focus is on drawing the structure.

The hardest parts are those you can't see but know should be there. Skinny figures are way harder than muscular ones!

My first attempt. Any feedback appreciated. I had a hard time figuring out where the scapula was on the left side. Still don't know if I have it right. It's difficult but a lot of fun. I want to do some more.

Here I'm redrawing it from the video and applying it to another photo. What do you think?

I did a few attempts to do this and I think I am starting to get a grip of it but am still struggling. Feedback appreciated.

I don't think you're supposed to do shading, the point of the exercise is to recognize the landmarks.

As Stan says, it really is something that takes a lot of study !! I trust also that after Robo bean I'll be able to get volume better - anyway, let's just plough through drawing along the video first. The main thing is to introduce myself to the concept of reference points through doing.

Following along with Proko made so many things click together. This had to be like my 3rd time watching these videos, but I decided to focus and follow along with Proko on his example. I know it isn't perfect, but that's what more practice is for. I'd appreciate any feedback.
