Humbling to see how my lines turn out. Nevertheless a fun way to practice lines in a more complex way than just 'drawing straight lines'. Adding this to the warm up mix!

This is my attempt. With and without guide lines. I can see that my boxes are a bit wobbly and uneven. Is there anything else i should look for next time?

I googled geomatric shapes and tried to draw them most accuratly. Pyramids and donuts give me headaches….. next step is to draw forms from imagination.

I've got a few questions about this one, and I was hoping somebody might help me clear my head. In Stan's drawing, the angle from the teres major to the elbow seems off (I pointed it out with the red line in this screenshot). I followed Stan but measured the angle differently; but I don't know if this is actually correct because it makes the guy look like he has a really long back. Is the teres major lower on the back than I think it is? Also, Stan marks the iliac crest so it lines up with the PSIS; but in the Landmarks of the Human Body diagram that comes with this lesson, the iliac crest is a little higher than the PSIS. When I draw my own landmarks from different photos, should I line these points up like Stan does? Please forgive my real "correcting" tone. I definitely trust Stan's knowledge of anatomy way more than I do my own! But I'm just confused about what goes where. Thank you all! Sincerely, Grace Mounce

And btw your linework looks really fine! You‘re definitly on the right way.

Wow that hand figure is a really cool reference

If someone can please provide me a critique. Thank you :)

These look exactly like my first figure drawings a few years ago :)

Hello, I’ve just gotten back into drawing after more than a decade. Some I drew on top of others, so I don’t know how clearly it will read. Any critique would be welcome, I feel like I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know what.

First congrats for starting to draw again! What i first can see is that you try to find the contours with too many lines at a time. I also still have problems with scratchy lines and have to be really patient while drawing. -try to use less lines, or practice to build up the lines on top of each other instead of next to each other - maybe warm up with some more beans before drawing figures and rewatch how proko is drawing. Hes planning every single stroke really well and sometimes you can see him ghosting the lines in the air befor he puts the pencil on the paper - you should check out his latest free videos on YT about drawing basics and line quality. I think you can benifit from it ! keep going and be patient with yourself. You will see that your lines will get better with regular practice. I swear.

I came back to the bean exercise and compared it to my results from last year. Left is old. Right is new.

Too cute how you gave the beans little arms and faces! Awesome work towards the 10,000 hours of mastery. I especially like how the new ones have a bit more space for folds and twists between the forms.

I first try to practice the position of the palm and hand cause i have problems to imagine geometric shapes.

Hi @Anna Sch, nice studies! - It could help to decide where your mass conception lines up with a real hand (see first attached image👇). Just keep in mind that there is not just one way to do a mass conception. You can come up with your own, to solve specific problems. - Could you elaborate more on " i have problems to imagine geometric shapes.". Is it that you're having trouble imagining them on top of the real hand? Or do you struggle drawing the shapes by themself, from imagination? - When studying anatomy, it's a good idea to alternate between drawing from observation with drawing from imagination. Before you can trace the bones over a photo well, you need to have a good understanding of them and be able to draw them from imagination. Since you can't see the entire bone, you place it by imagining where it would be, based on your knowledge. That, combined with visible landmarks, can give an accurate placement. I hope this helps :)

Beginning of my 100 hands challenge. The first 2 pictures i drew before watching the video course so i can compare my results.i draw with 2 colors. First the underlaying structure lige in the bone assingnement and than the anatomical masses.

Hey Anna, Drawing a hundred hands is a good exercise, I hope you make it. What I'm noticing about your drawings is the lack of structure. I can see your thinking about it, but it isn't making it into your drawings. I did a quick sketch of your drawing in the 4th image. I used my own hand, and not the one Stan is using, but its pretty much the same thing. You need to think about each form as having planes: front, side and top/ bottom. This will help with your shading and give your drawings a real 3 dimensional feeling. I hope this helps :)

Hands are always my worst thing to draw. Except feet…. My goal is to draw at least 100 hands. Cause i think repetition is a key to impovement and muscle memory. I will make extra file folder for my 100 hands challenge :)
