So I noticed every week or so my proportions get better as I look back at my work.

That is so often the way it goes. It sometimes feels like we're not making progress... until we see our past work. Keep moving forward! Let me know if you have any specific questions!

I've added the highlights and cleaned up things a bit, but erred on the side of caution and didn't go for anything atmospheric in the background, part due to not being sure if I want it for a pose I chose here and part because I didn't want to mess it up. :)

Thanks for sharing, Martin! I'll be critiquing your work again in my upcoming livestream. Let me know if you have any specific questions!

had toned paper instead of white so used white charcoal for highlights instead of erasing value

2024/11/19. Good morning everybody. Here's a quick figure drawing I made yesterday (Conte sanguine 610 on newsprint). Thanks.

Very nice! I'd love to see the shadows a bit more defiend and darkened. Overall, good work!

Hey Brent.
I assume the idea is not to perfect a lesson before moving on. I have been working on the centre line for some time now and certainly I cannot duplicate your work, nor will I ever be able to most likely.
Would you suggest working at it, practicing for a couple of weeks then moving on? I am eager to start the lesson in legs but don’t know if I am ready.
thanks

I think that's a good strategy. What you will find is that getting some space and learning more about other techniques and strategies will improve your centerline skills when you're ready to return.

The upper half looks a bit elongated compared to the legs. Keep practicing! Let me know if you have any specific questions.

2024/9/30. Hi everybody. This is my last assignment for today. In the first attempt I started from the head but it took me long time to make it as close as possible in the right angle with right proportions. So I didn’t have enough time to draw the rib cage and the pelvis. In second attempt I used the same approach Brent uses in the video, starting from the big volumes then move to the small parts. Thanks and have a nice week.

These look good. I'm not seeing any major red flags.

Hi there, Martin! Each individual form appears to be working, but the heads should be smaller in relationship to the rib cage and pelvis. You'll get there. Keep practicing!

2024/10/7. Good morning everyone. Here is my assignment for this chapter. I admit that I didn’t use proportion measurement and triangulation like Brent did in his video. If I indulge in it too much, I usually end up drawing a stiff, immobile figure. Since I like to exaggerate gesture and accentuate the proportions of certain anatomical attributes like breasts, hips, and thigh width, I usually use proportion measurement and triangulation with caution. Thank you.
