Hi, nice drawing, I just started with watercolor and find it quite difficult. I wish there was a course for this. Do you sometimes know a good book or other sources to learn watercolors?

Nice studies!
I struggled a lot with the shoulder girdle! It's tricky to draw. I attached an image with a mass conception of the scapula that I'm really happy with. Maybe it can help you when drawing it from imagination.
Cheers!

I tried not to copy Stan's examples line for line and use my imagination more but I had to sort of glance at them to get an idea. Still trying to get my bearings in the 3d world and trying to imagine how things sit together.

Hi @John Masterton, nice studies!
I'll do my best to help you further:
- Be mindful about proportion. In most of these you're making them too large. In the bottom right the body of the scapula is too small. To keep my proportions in check I like to compare the scapula to the sternum: they are the same length. You find a proportion diagram in this video at 1:16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJMoplyGboI&t=75s
This might also help you get the proportions right:
When I go to a new lesson in the course I always start by drawing from the 3D-model, until I can draw the bone from imagination ( not perfectly, but I have "acquainted" myself with the bone; its form and proportions ). I do this before I start finding the bones on a model.
I don't know if this will help, but in a critique to another student I described how I think an artists "X-ray vision" works. I attached a screenshot
Keep up the good work!

I'm having a tough time finding the angle of the acromion process just by looking at the models, so I've been just extrapolating based on the angle of the scapula -- stan seems to place the acromion process so naturally, however; any tips?

I am having trouble with finding acromion process too. I try to predict it on the basis of scapula or the glenoid cavity

Hi, Stan & Team: OK, so I copied all of Stan's demos - like I usually do. And then, I watched the critique. OK - point taken now. I'm not posting any of my copies any more! I do it because I've no confidence that I can come up with anything on my own. Anyway, I'm done whining. Here's MY first assignment from the reference photos. The one on the left is the mess I made without a lot of reference. The 2nd one, on the right is done with both 3D models AND Skelly. Can I get Skelly App to work on my computer? It's really hard to manipulate him on the phone. THANKS.
