@Brent Eviston Thanks for the detailed critique! I feel a couple of concepts finally sank in with a few "Aha!" moments, especially the idea of molding the abstractions to better portray what we're seeing. I've also been practicing with ribcage and pelvis placements over some light tracings and am already seeing (and feeling) what I was doing wrong. I'll try to do these practices more often, they're already proving very valuable.
