All done! Phew, I'm actually physically tired after doing these, workin' the ol' noggin. Any feedback is welcome - I find I'm worried about the distance between the ribcage and pelvis. Also, used this as an opportunity to tackle the pelvis bucket (which I haven't done in a bit!) so, from what you can see of it, please also comment on that. :D

Awesome! These look really nice @Ekene Nkado!
I struggled with the distance between the pelvis and ribcage too. One thing that helps me keep that distance in check, is to draw the spinal connection between the pelvis and ribcage. You can do this when drawing robo beans too, kinda like what you see in the robo bean video at 05:50 ( https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-structure-in-the-body-robo-bean/assignments )
Hope this helps :)

Great job challenging yourself to tackle the bucket method; I'm still struggling with that too. To me, it looks like the spacing between the pelvis and ribcage is just a bit too far, and what's really sticking out is how long the wings/crest of the pelvis is on many of the drawings. Maybe try using the pelvis 3D model to check your work. I like to use digital software to overlay my drawing with a reference to check how far off I am, but you can hold your drawing over your computer screen for the same effect.

Thanks that was “lots” useful! 😋 I’m in the intermediate artist phase and wasn’t sure how to move forward but this looks like what I should be practicing so thanks again 🙏🏾

Abs! The first pic is the last two sketches, where my shading was finally not too awful 😂

Hi Proko! You mention a deltoid video for premium members but unfortunately I can't see that on my dashboard?
