LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
In the premium lesson, we focus on refining proportions and adding in some basic anatomy to your proportion project submissions. You'll learn how to:
- Correctly align the width of the head with the rib cage and pelvis.
- Apply the eight-head division to maintain accurate figure proportions.
- Incorporate key anatomical details, such as the sternum, and understand differences between male and female rib cages.
- Construct the pelvis with precision using the checkerboard method.
- Place limbs correctly by adjusting leg lengths and understanding knee placement.
- Add the scapula and clavicle to you proportion sketches.
- Draw arms and hands with proper proportions and consider the carrying angle.
By mastering these fundamentals, you'll improve the accuracy and expressiveness of your gesture drawings.

Nicely done!
This one I did a few months ago, I still cringe to this day because it looks terrible but I learnt a lot about human anatomy and proportions it truly helped when i was doing gestures since I struggled a lot it helped me when I followed these guides ! Thank you so much Michael Hampton
Recently started this course, really engaging way of teaching so far. Here is my attempt at the assignment. Open for any critiques. Thank you!
Felt like getting a bit more practice before moving on. The first one is a revision of everything new from this lesson, in the second I attempted to make a similar chart without an explicit grid. Still not perfect obviously (I still don't really get how the frontveiw legs work) but I think it's good eniught to move on.

Nice work! I can see the improvement
Takes a bit for the proportions to sink in. Fourth iteration. Two ovals of similar dimensions for the lateral head drawing… I must have a bias for drawing horizontal ovals too long. More alien than human, unintended consequence.
Here's my attempt after watching the critiques. Drawing all three views at once has been super helpful!
Thank you for the critique video.
Very helpful. I tried again after watching and I´m happy with the result so far.
Redo after watching critique. My proportions are a bit cleaner now. Especially around the tilt of the rib cage and pelvis. Also the width of the pelvis on the side view and the width of the feet on the side view.
Thank you for the critiques and feedback. Do we keep drawing this proportions chart over and over until the measurements get memorised? For instance, draw 1 proportion chart a day until it gets memorised? Thank you again.

Yes, I think that's a great idea.
