In this video I will show you the proper way to practice drawing the spine by tracing over a picture of a model.

This was actually quite hard. First attempts before demos and second attempts after demos

Wanted to do an extra one before I watch the video and fix the mistakes I did on the actual assigned assignments , feel like I’m struggling a little with some of this , specifically the pelvis. if anyone has any suggestions, advice or criticisms I’d appreciate it :) Trying my best to learn. ( did this on my iPad and I’m not use to digital art , sorry about the messy lines)
Melanie Scearce
This is a great start! You can see on this model the iliac crest pretty well on his left side. near the crease of his thigh. That is a landmark that shows you where the boundary of the top of the bucket should rest. I hope this helps!
Low Horvath
I think once I learn more about the pelvis and other areas it’ll start to make more sense to me.

I decided to do this exercise again after watching Stan's demo. Previously, I was making the sacrum too large and the spine too narrow.

I kneel down. After study. This is it. The green dot is on the navel.

The first one (assignment #9) is particularly hard to trace. With the body being foreshortened, the pelvis being blocked, and a rotation occurred in the thoracic section.

Hello, this is not easy. Here are my before (orange) & after(blue).

Here is my second attempt at the spine assignment 7-10, but without tracing. Any feedback is most welcome, thanks!

Purple spine columns are my own before watching the example videos. Green spine columns are according to the video. How should the pelvis really be tilted in image 3? I did not understand it for quite some time until I realized if you first do a robo bean and then pay attention to the limitations of the lumbar region, it will turn out almost correct. This is a great exercise on many levels and worth returning to. Like the first exercise but a lot harder.

Some attemps. Feel free to critique.
Karas Rijji
It does feel a bit difficult. After two or three days of procrastination, I finally accepted it mentally. Think of the body as boxes and draw the perspective structure, then look for the pelvic spine line and everything will go more smoothly.

Great work

I've been able to see the column better through the shapes of the models in this batch of fixes, compared to the first try. But I keep having errors in the perspective of structures of the pelvis, head and torso, and I don't understand how to place them, and my handling of the digital program is very messy!

I made corrections to my job after I saw the video. I believe that I had problems understanding the coccyx structure, can you tell me how can I understand better this form in perspective? anyway I share it

From your drawings its looks like you are understanding the structure already? You have a bird beak shape with a square base, which is the basic shape. I think you did a good job
Freya artist
Well here is my assignment I continue seeing that I have problems with the interpretation of the sacrum bone and coccyx volume

i'm struggling hard to be able to "see through" the models and understand the structure that makes up the forms (such as where the spine should fall in the body or how to "draw through" the torso/rib-cage). i've done a bunch of 3d box practice, but these organic forms are a bit trickier. Any suggestions?

Proko's rendering of example 3 looks wrong to me - the pelvis he drew looks like it's squeezed into 2/3 of her actual pelvis, and showing way too little of the top plane. Does anyone else see this? Also, the angle he drew for the bottom of the ribcage looks off given the angle of the shoulders - are her arms raised so much that the actual angle of the top of the rib cage is totally different than what you can see? Definitely confused and could use feedback (I know mine is wrong, too lol)
Manuel Rioja
I think so too, sometimes I see what seem to me mistakes in Proko's demonstrations, but then I do them and I feel that they are wrong too! ha ha

Challenging exercise.. and wondering the same thing when I was doing this one. For me, seeing her left knee, I sorta made out where the pelvis could angle. And as for the ribcage, I think the neck opening is more towards us and more foreshortened than the answer provided. My sketch is may be also off. Correct me if I'm wrong, anybody.
Samuel Parker
I struggled with these but I think doing these spine exercises has improved my sense of structure and camera placement so much in my drawings, so excited to work my way through the rest of the course !!
Sara Alvord
Where do I find the downloadable models to print? I don't have a computer that I can trace on. I have to use pencil and paper
