The eyes in the second portrait are tricky for this project because her eye looks so close to the edge her face according to the reference. I would move the eye in a little bit to avoid that tangent even though it looks that way in the reference. That’s all. These both look nicely measured. Your linework is clean. Good work 👍

Nice! I really like the simplification of the hand, you've kept realistic proportions, but added some pleasing chonk to the shapes, looks awesome! Your VR Girl looks like she got cut in half behind her hand, be sure to draw through these areas to keep the torso connected to the hips. As for the line weight, with so many searching lines things start to feel a little harry, you could try to ghost in your line a few times before making contact, and then throw one or two lines instead of building up each attempt. Try to execute each line as if you didn't have an undo, pre-mediate the stroke you want to make, ghost a few times and then commit. Using lighter and fewer ghosting lines means they will easily disappear when you lay down your final lines. Hope this helps, keep it up!!

Looks pretty good! There is a bit of tendency towards straights over curves, where sometimes an area could be further simplified into a C or S curve, especially in organic subjects like the snail, but that's being a bit nitpicky. It's good to be aware of it, but other than that, really good job :)

im a beginner so i can only say you dont need to draw every detail like you did for the ilium simplify it to a smooth curve keep you lines simple i hope that helpes a little. they look good btw

Hi @Anson Man, nice work! Overall I think the studies look really nice. Good gesture and form! I'll try to look for things to improve on: - The first thing that struck me was the varying proportions of the spine. The lumbar part should be a little longer than half the thoracic part, and the cervical should be a little shorter than half the thoracic part. - I think you're making the distance between the pelvis and the ribcage too long. They are actually pretty close. - I found the spine really tricky. It got a lot easier once I learned about the pelvis and ribcage; If you can place the sacrum in the pelvis, you know where the lumbar section starts; and the thoracic portion fits into the back of the ribcage, sharing the same arc. For me important landmarks are: The sacrum; where the lumbar portion starts The 12th ribs' attachments to the spine; the thoracic portion starts around here The top plane of the ribcage (first rib); the thoracic portion ends here The atlanto-occipital joint; where the cervical portion ends at the skull. - You don't seem to be making the spine go from thick in the lumbar region to thinner in the cervical region. You have this in image 1, drawing to the right, but I think you might be making the spine a bit too thick here. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

@Anson Man Very good forms, nice complement of the study with these side notes! If you're already familiar with the anatomy of the clavicle, perhaps you can structure it based on the 3 main angles (the "cupid's bow" shape); if not, I'd say the way you did it looks good enough for this lesson. Just a thought, maybe you could experiment using a few more curvy and swooping lines so the forms look just a tiny bit less squary/blocky and a bit more slightly organic (as a mannequinized skeleton). Hope this helps! Keep up the good work.

@Anson Man I think these look pretty nice!

565, 563 and 569 look like they could be a bit too far apart. or maybe too thin in general? 561 has issues with the perspective on the torso box, 566 lacks a connection between the boxes. 571 was probably pretty difficult due to the foreshortening. The top looks like it gets way too big in relation to the bottom box. I like 562, 564 and 567. Apart from the exercise: I would recommend to draw your lines in one swift motion without trying to correct them. Stan mentions this in one of the videos, but these repeated slightly overlapping lines make everything look uncertain and are just not as clean. It is better to draw a confident line that is slightly off, than an insecure scribbly line that is placed correctly. It will feel weird in the beginning but it will get easier the more you try. Also, try to draw bigger. It may "cost" you a bit more paper (use cheap paper for such exercises by the way) but it makes it easier for you to draw and learn. If you draw a human shape 10 cm tall, every millimeter that is off will look like a massive error. If you draw a human shape 10m tall, a millimeter will not matter one bit. Try to do 2-4 of these per paper, rather than 11. That will make the drawings more forgiving and if you really do make mistakes it will make them easier to spot.
