Really difficult to capture an expressive pose with 3d objects. Often sacraficed form for expression and vice versa. Definitly need to draw some more. Need to focus more on the landmarks and proportions. Would creatly appreciate some feedback^^

Hey Lien, I think your idea of using reference for this is a good one, but we have to use it right. One way is to look at the pose in the reference, then build the pose out of shapes. This will help us interpret what we see, and make it easier to get it right. I did a sketch that I hope will help you out :)

thank you for your feedback!!—it was my intention to make them sit at different heights (i though it would be more interesting that way) but it seems like the way i do that is a little confusing TvT I'll make sure to use wrinkles to show joints & perspective when i paint the clothes! ahh, thanks for your sketch, too!!

Hello Lien_Hoa,I think you did pretty well in making the shape design on the face and jacket appealing.I quite like how you contrast the more busy shapes of the jacket with the simple line for describing the leg.It remind me a bit of how Adam Hughes and Mucha does it.(here are some example of their work) I think the biggest problem I see is that the perspective is a bit skewered on the leg and arm,I feel like you made it slightly too big and made the head a bit too small.Also on the topic on improving the pose,personally I think you could make the left guy's left leg a bit more interesting if you made it tiptoeing and facing the viewer(here's an overdrawing of everything I just said to explain it better. But other than that,great job,please keep going,we're interested in what you'll make next

Hello everyone, so i’m trying to draw 2 dudes sitting next to each other; but my drawing-from-imagination skill sucks and i had to combine 2 different photos of them from different angles/perspective… so  i’d like to ask if my drawing is believable enough? and please tell me if i can improve anything in the pose. Thank you ^^ ( >< please have a look: @Liandro @Jesper Axelsson @Tony Vu ) Attached are my drawing and 2 references i used.

Steve basically provided the best possible advice and I can't really add anything to it other than I really like how you drew her face and her dress. It looks really really nice.

Hey Lien, Really nice job on this. To be honest, I kind of like the pose you have, it has a lot of attitude. The stiffness comes from not using any gesture in the pose. You use all straight lines to describe everything. Even the skirt is straight across. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps. Like I said you could still use your pose, just add some gesture to it.

Hi Lien, maybe try tilting her shoulders in the opposite direction of her hips? Right now they seem to both be tilting the same direction and she looks a bit off balance because of that? Nice drawing, by the way. Cheers!

I tried to exaggerate her legs so she'll have longer legs lol, but i kinda feel like the pose is too stiff and i'm not sure how to fix, so a paint over would be very much appreciated ! i've also attached the reference, Rosé is the redhead girl ((? well not actually a redhead right, more like red-brown haired girl) Thank you!!

Haven't posted in a while, but I've been trying to work on researching anatomy/landmarks more! So here are a couple ones I did recently; the way I went about it/filled things in is probably a little different than Proko's, but I felt like I was making progress! Mostly I'm concerned about whether things are generally in the right area, since I don't want to develop habits of putting things where they don't really go. Any help/critique is greatly appreciated! (I also opted to just work on the torso, since it's a lot of info and I didn't want to get overwhelmed with the arms and legs yet.) Hopefully everything is easy to read!

Hellooo! This is my attempt for this assignment. I trace over all of the animals' photos except for the elephant ( ̄ω ̄)/ and I'm not guilty about it, because I thought tracing helps me focus on the structure, not on the proportion. (it turns out i can do just fine w/o tracing XD) I face some difficulties. I feel unsure about the perspective. Some blocks are hard to comprehend, I just couldn't think of them visually in 3D space. Sometimes I tried to shade, so pls give me critique on the shading part too. @Liandro, @Bradwynn Jones, will u guys have a look on my work pls? :) Thank youu in advance. Have a nice day! P/s: pls (i said pls a lot :)))) geez) click on open original on the 2nd image for a better resolution/look.

Idk much about anatomy but my first thought is "this is soo pretttyyyyyy". but now that i see you ask about the stiff problem, maybe you could try long gesture line for the flow feeling? (because i can see some tiny tiny strokes in the line work of the figure no.2)

heeyyyy me too! I'm also working both... I stuck at this lesson for weeks because of the (damn) i mean challenging boxes TvT Let's work hard on beating them XD and also, I've learned from Brad Colbow that "You don't have to master one thing to move on the next lesson!" So i think that doing the assignments from both sources and then redoing the (Proko) parts you're unsure of is an effective strategy of practicing!
