It looks like you are having trouble with perspective. Try breaking things down into simple shapes. The rib cage can be drawn as a simple egg with a center line. It's easier to fit the individual ribs inside the egg than starting off with ribs. Also something that might help is to ghost your perspective lines in. See my examples. Keeping in mind the perspective has always helped me in my studies. Good luck.

Nice studies! There are inaccuracies here and there, but that's not an issue in this lesson 😎👍 It's just an introduction to an exercises that you can use as a study tool. - Try to make the lines a bit cleaner. It might help to choose a brush that is lighter and allows you to build up to dark gradually. -Two other things you might want to look for in a tracing are: 1. Varying lineweight; thicker/darker for the border of muscles and thinner/lighter for the muscle fibers. This gives clarity to the tracing 2. Fiber-lines going all the way. I want to be clear with how the fibers track so I like to draw them all the way from where they originate to where they insert, and not floating in the middle of the muscle.  Hope this helps :)

I really like how you designed your dragon and appreciate your dedication to the prompt! Since this challenge received such a positive response we'll post another one this week.

My biggest weakness so far has been structure but I think I'm doing really well on that now that I've been practicing.

Hi @Bonnie Gable, nice studies! - I think you're doing well with the perspective of the boxes and the motion of the torso. In your next attempts I would pay a little more attention to the flesh between the boxes. In the 2nd one, from the left, in the top row, you have a concavity on the compressed side, whereas it should be bulging. To further increase your familiarity with the flesh intbetween, you could draw some beans from imagination and oversimply the flesh to some rubbery mass (like the rubber part on a skateboard truck). The compressed side simply gets a curved line, and the stretched side a straight line. To help me understand twists better I like to think that each corner of the ribcage box is connected with a string to the corresponding corners on the hip box. When a twist happens the strings are still there and they help me understand the overlap. - "I know my line quality sucks haha" If your linework bothers you I would strongly recommend watching this video How to Hold and Control Your Pencil. Drawing from your shoulder makes it possible to draw long fluid lines in one go. Practicing line quality might seem daunting, since you have to rework some habits. If you feel that way, start small. Throw in a short line quality warm-up in the beginning of your practice sessions. Your line quality will start to improve, but maybe most important of all, your confidence. I've often experienced that, whether it's a subject in school, or a drawing discipline like linequality, they all feel like threats and things I try to avoid, if I don't feel like I'm on the right track with them. But as soon as I throw in a little practice, even if very little, my confidence and interest in them starts to grow. And that alone makes me improve. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work! PS I attached some practice tips that helped me a lot when I took the course, hopefully they can be of some help to you too :)
