i've attempted the assignment for this video several times in the past before, but this is my first time actually submitting my attempt. the landmarks stage in practically any figure drawing instructional material always messes me up and I don't know why. i think my 2 main issues are accurately locating the landmarks on photos + not really "seeing" any practical uses for landmarking when drawing from imagination. well... as for things i noticed: in both drawings (more evident on the left) i mistook the gesture of the body with the centerline of the torso. i also made the torso box way too short in the first drawing; this was somewhat corrected in my second drawing, but it doesn't quite capture the gesture of the ref in the video's pose as well as my first attempt

I watched the video before and then drawing along with the video. Landmarks really help to define the different muscle parts later on. It is kinda fun to do and helps not to jump into details too early 👍

Not sure if I positioned the scapula correctly or other landmarks. Critique welcome.

Using the demo pose.

I followed the example and drew a few more female figures from the back.

Feedback welcome. Enjoying this section.

How am I doing so far?

1st is done alongside video. 2nd is done after video only reference being the original photo of the woman. Any recommendations on ways to improve? I think I may have needed more rhythmic lines and probably the original gesture could've been more expressive.

Before and alongside watching the demo. Anatomy course will truly back the gesture up!

Here is this plus the previous example. I still have to watch the videos and check what I did wrong. I clearly messed up the proportion on the second.

Ooof!! For 1 and 2, I draw as Stan drew. This time I drew by myself with just the reference photo, and then watched Stan afterwards. Much harder than "following along." My drawing doesn't feel as "structural" as Stan's did in the end, so any feedback to that would be super helpful! Was I too focused on "contours"?

My notes:

I am struggling with these assignments! Any feedback and tips are appreciated! I am also new to drawing digitally. Having a hard time with both mark making and getting accurate proportion. After watching the critique video I'm struggling to cope with the fact that I both need to be good at proportion as well as see beneath the skin better to understand the landmarks and their relationship to the figure. I'm overwhelmed to say the least.

Critiques welcome!

What do you guys think of my attempt for this assignment? Please let me know! I highly appreciate your feedback and critique :) Thank youuu~

Assigment 3

I followed along with the back landmarks video. This felt tricky to do without much knowledge of anatomy, but it makes me excited to start learning!
