my attempt at the assignment. First image is from 3d model, second one is from imagination and third is the second one corrected by looking at 3d model.

Hi, cyz Really nice studies. I'm seeing that you're color coding while taking notes and keeping everything organized. That helps a lot understanding the content as the same time it helps practicing. There's room for improvements on your pelvis. In general I think that you're drawing the bones too thin while the construction is a little shaky. Although you're using the lines of construction the lines that should be parallel are pointing everywhere which inda flattens the drawing. The proportions are kinda off too and I reckon it has to do with the proportions of the bucket. In summary, you're probably not totally accustomed with the construction yet and you need more familiarity with the pelvis before drawing extreme views from imagination. What I would recommend to you is to use the 3d-model a lot. Use it as reference and try to draw from every angle possible, specially looking down or up o it (as we are not used to these views). Review the construction a couple of times, and always make sure that lines that are parallel converge to the same point. Pay close attention to the corners as they are the part that show more structure. Practice a lot but don't obsess over it. Your goal is for a clear and solid construction and a drawing that communicates well. The pelvis is a very complex arrangement of bones (from a perspective drawing standpoint), so don't get discouraged. Keep drawing and Best regards

hi guys, did some drawings of the ribcage from 3d model. Give me some critiques please

Hi, Cyz...again This critique is gonna be quick. Same compliments of the last time, very nice assignment. But this time there's just 2 things I have to advise you. First, very simple, round the corners in the rib cage. You're doing a very good job tracking the big angle changes in the form but you're leaving this sharp corners (the back of number 12 is a prime example). It should be a smoother form, so after you find it, come back and round them a bit (don't over do it! you still want the major change in directions). Second advice is on foreshortening. You're doing a good job trying different views of the rib cage, but I don't feel that some of these are quite right. Here's what you can do. Take the photos of the rib cage and trace the construction over it. Pay attention to the size of the externum, opening of the rib cage, the shape of the hole for the neck, the overall relation height x width and compare it with yours. See if it feels taller, fatter, less inclined. etc. Normally when we draw foreshortened objects we tend to make them longer and we don't get the overlaps right. So tracing photos is a good way to check our answers in the beginning. As you get more experience and your eyes get better this becomes second nature, Best Regards

Just finished the spine assignment. Critiques are appreciated

Looking good! - Be mindful about proportions. You sometimes make the whole spine too thin. Also note that it's not the same thickness throughout. It tapers, from thicker at the lumbar section to thinner in the neck. You also make the lumbar section too long sometimes. Refer back to this video at 0:45 https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-the-spine/discussions - Watch out for making the thoracic portion into an s-curve. I had trouble with this too when doing the assignments for this lesson. My understanding of it now is that the s-curve of the thoracic part of the spine is so subtle in a twist, that the most close simplification is a c-curve. My go to approach is to always make the thoracic part a c-curve tucked into the ribcage, then alter it SLIGHTLY, as I connect it with the cervical and lumbar sections I hope this helps :)
