Egg Sketches! I found it hard to try and not render these and forced my self to stay loose. These were very fun!
Hi! I would appreciate any feedback or critique. Thanks!
I didn’t have the materials fr a BG. Would pastels work? Idk, but I have no clue on H2 draw hands and feet. This was hard. I took about maybe 3-4 hours. I don’t know what else to add. I learned to start with a linear lay-in of the shadows. I’ll probably do another one of these.

I want to learn the proportions of children in different ages. I know that Loomis´s "figure drawing for all it´s worth" has diagrams, but in Hale´s "Drawing Lessons From the Great Masters" he mentions "Rimmer´s anatomy" having the best plates. Tried googeling, but I had a hard time finding it. Dose anyone know about it? Maybe there´s an even better alternative?
There's a book on Amazon. I don't know how to post links on this website. Hope this helps!
great work!

I think these are incredibly well done! The forms are super dynamic and you can really feel the twisting, the pulling, the stretching and the motion in these. You clearly have a great understanding of the figure! I’ll definitely check out that video. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! I've been learning balance for about 3 days. Here are some things I've learned. I would appreciate any feedback, and please fill in the gaps of my limited knowledge.
I mainly struggled with creating action poses, so I'll mainly talk about that.
Action poses are usually unbalanced. It usually consists of one leg (or support) being up and the weight of the person being moved forward to around the leg. Walking and running are just controlled falls where we fall for a little bit and then catch ourselves. The main component of action poses I've noticed is the lean and tilt of the upper body. In my studies, you'll notice that most of the poses have some sort of tilt to them which makes it look more like an action pose. Without the tilt, it looks kind of balanced. Making the person lean forward will move the center of gravity which makes it easier to make it unbalanced.
Also, for finding the center of gravity, I saw a video by Ahmed Aldoori where he found it by creating an oval/circle for the main mass (pelvis, ribcage, head) and found the center of that circle. It helped me alot. The video was a recent RefWed.
I hope this will help someone! Thanks for any feedback!
hi, I think you are on the right track. the proportions seem a bit off, especially the male ones. Their torso and upper arms are huge and the heads look tiny in comparison. Getting proportions right I think is something that comes with practice.
Thanks! I didn't do any measuring for this honestly. It seemed measuring was introduced later on in the course so, I didn't do it. The heads in most of these were off by a lot.
