Not proud of these, but better to move on and make progress on anatomy rather than spend days perfecting the proportions and digital rendering.

Tracing models

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)

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.

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.

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 

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)

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 !!

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
