Hi there! I was doing only lay in studies, 45 minutes each. 


I added a new one, maybe better? I've done thinking more about inner shapes.

  1. Good job. Getting better.

    I still think there is too much detail without solid form indication. Ribcage and pelvis are not worked out. I would recommend drawing in your forms or a doing a form based lay in. After a shape is established, really look for underlying form. They are what effect the silhouette of a figure. Right now you have shape but almost no underlying structure to back up the details and silhouette.

    Old master lay ins have major bone structures like the skull rib cage and pelvis clearly resolved. It's not just a silhouette drawing.

    Good job man! Keep going.

  2. Thanks, I Have tried those things, specially thinking on shapes and not only silhouette. Tell me if I'm going better.

  3. Better but still to many lumps and bumps. Basically, your drawing should feel solid even if you take away all the construction lines. Indicating good points is crucial. Example, where forms interlock, where forms meet, and corners.

    When looking at a pose, try and figure out what the skeleton is doing. It's a good idea to exaggerate the leans of forms until you can really see it. When someone stands, it's a balancing act. Forms lean back and forward as counterweight.

    Something to think about. You seem very heavy handed. Meaning lines are very dark with no variation. It's a good idea to develop a light touch for sketching. Drawing traditionally more will help you develop this sensibility.

    Hope this helps. Appreciate the hard work your putting in. Mileage is key. Good job man!
