I'm at the shading upper body details. I know I've done a lot of erasing and its overworked now. Do i carry on or start again
All criticism welcome. Thanks in advance
My wife would tell me off if I referred to an adult female as a girl. Just saying. 🙂

I’m assuming she will be an adult of course.

My first mannakins. I'd be grateful for any comments or criticism. I did these after watching the first 3 lessons

Can someone please please explain to me the difference between the “angle of the ellipse” and the “long axis?” I have spent weeks trying to figure out the ellipse/bucket and every time I think I have a breakthrough I end up confusing myself and even more. It’s the ellipse I have the most trouble with.
I have watched and re watched multiple times the anatomy, how to draw, and critique videos in this section and am stuck and getting frustrated. Somehow the way Stan explains the lines in the first critique video just does not click.
Can someone please explain the process of drawing the ellipse (especially at angles/tilts that are not perfectly horizontal or vertical)? Diagrams greatly appreciated. I would upload pics of my attempts but they are so scattered and confused at this point that I don’t think it will help.
Please explain as if talking to a seven year old and I will be forever grateful!

So a 85deg ellipse would be almost a circle and a 5 degree would be an extremely thin ellipse.

If you draw a circle and then rotate the drawing away from yourself you will see it turn from a circle to an ellipse until you rotate flat and then all you see is a straight line. You have rotated the circle 90 degrees when you see a straight line. If you rotate the circle 45 degrees away that is a 45degree ellipse.
But im only a beginner myself so I’d double check
. I think the long axis is the straight line connecting the furthest apart points in the ellipse.

Hi all, when I do 2 min sketches is it better to do a few of the same model, refining what you do or should you do one and then move on to another pose? Or are both methods equally valid?
