Trying to figure out anatomy so I am struggling through this drawing. I’m using a mannequin and what I’m learning through the figure drawing course and a few books. Here’s what I have so far. Thoughts and suggestions welcome please.

Trying to improve my line quality in the sketch phase. Thoughts or suggestions welcome.
Patrick Bosworth
This is looking really good!! Clean lines, nice line weight, accurate proportions. I think if you did a clean up pass on this in graphite it would look great! I find it tough to get the best line quality in red pencil, they tend to be a bit waxy and soft, so they're great for loose sketching, thinking on the page, and laying out ideas, but hard to tighten up a sketch with. Using a darker lead to tie it all down will start to show you where your linework needs some attention. You could try a tapered stroke clean up pass using an HB-2B pencil to see if you can start to focus in on your line quality. Hope this helps, keep up the good work!

Reposting again. David Bryan • 13d ASKED FOR HELP Question about getting a digital drawing tablet. What is a good inexpensive brand that lets you see what you’re drawing on the tablet and do you need special software for it?
Patrick Bosworth
Hey David! There are a few options for tablets with displays to check out. Look into XP-Pen, Huion, and Wacom. Each have a range of sizes, display resolutions, and features to meet any budget. These display tablets that let you draw on the screen require a computer running a piece of software like Photoshop, Corel Painter, Krita, Clip Studio Paint, Etc. So the price of those programs (and a computer with enough horsepower to run them smoothly) is something to consider when buying a display tablet. Another option would be to look into an iPad Pro with Pencil, and a program like Procreate for a portable digital drawing solution. Procreate is an inexpensive app at around $20 compared to a yearly subscription for something like Photoshop, etc. so there are a lot of variables to consider. I hope this helps!

Did project 2 using CSI lines for the Drawing Basics Course

Here’s my snail for assignment 2 in the Drawing Basics course simplifying to CSI lines. I know I can draw better than this so why does “simplification@ make it look so remedial ? Thoughts or critique welcome. Thank you.

Tried level 2 three times before watching your demo and my proportions were wayyyy off so I went back to level 1.
