Revisiting the anatomy course. Happy to receive and give feedback :)

I had so much difficulty with this one. I feel I lack a huge understanding in how basic shape are form and place together. I tend to copy from fan art a lot so trying to get out of the habit from copy to thinking about how shape rotate and are from in space will be quite the struggle but I hope, by the end of it all I can get to a level where I can be more confident in creating original character. Any feedback are appreiciated.

I did a bit of study using robo skelly & then attempted the assignment.

This year I´m doing a 365 days challenge to finally end this course a lesson per day. Every day I will post my progress.
Marshall is really good explaining, he has an incredible voice too (i envy a little that voice).
Have a nice day everyone and make great things, Day 12 done 353 to come.

Sup!
I went a bit more in-depth so I can figure out some of the structure. I hope I did well :)

Hello everyone. Here's my first assignment. Little bit confused in hidden corner.

Nice work, looks great to me! If you are struggling to see how things fit together in the picture, maybe have a look at robo skelly, that’s what i did & i found it really helpful. :)

I'm having issues being able to simplify what I'm seeing i'm hoping with time i can train my eyes and mind to think about simple forms.
any sort of feedback would be appreciated or tips on how to see simple forms

Hi folks!
This is today's drawing practice. I just started the anatomy series with the type joint. What do you think? :)))

Im having quite alot of trouble simplifying the hand area so it may look very wonky. The collar bone I think also needs some work would love feedback if possible!

first time posting and it's the first joint assignment \o/
will accept feedbacks if there be any!

Hi plupi, your drawing seems very good to me. Some things that I noticed:
The contour lines that wrap around something to show its form are perpendicular to the long axis. For example, if we have a cylinder, the contour lines of this cylinder will be perpendicular to the line that crosses through the center of this cylinder.
In the ulna and radius in your drawing, I see some contour lines that are not in the right perspective ( I think that if you erase the shadow and think of those bones as simpler shapes, it will be easier to find how to draw the contour lines).
If we draw the whole humerus as a cylinder, then all the contour lines that wrap around it will be similar, because there won't be any plane changes and the contour lines will be perpendicular to the cylinder's long axis, but in your drawing they are all different (remember that we don't draw the contour lines of the actual shape of the bones, but the simplified version of them, in this case a cylinder).
Try to draw the spine of the scapula like little boxes, without curves, because it will help you see the plane changes and understand how to draw the contour lines.
Lastly, you forgot to add width to the acromion process of the scapula (above the sphere, indicating the humeral head).
Keep up the good work :)

1st joints assignment, struggled quite a bit with the hands, especially the wrist, but trusting that with time and when I get to the hands I'll know more:)

Hi! This may be a dumb question, but how do you draw a sphere correctly in the way that Marshall describes? He said it takes several hours of work to do it right. I don't believe I am doing it correctly, it doesn't look as "3D" as his. Is it just a matter of getting clean ellipses or are there perspective rules regarding how the contours should be aligned? I did the 250 box challenge from DrawABox, and I know from that there are ways to check if your box is approximately in the right perspective. Is there a similar way to check the contour lines?

Marshall Vandruff has an amazing perspective class on his own site that’s only $12 USD. It’s been awhile since I took it so I don’t remember how much he covered spheres in particular, but he took quite a bit of time going over how to form proper ellipses in perspective which is the same thing essentially. Highly recommend and I think it’ll answer your questions. : )

First try for this one, not super happy with the line quality and the brush i used.
