added comment inHow to Draw the Shoulder Bones
Asked for help
Hi everyone! For this assignment I decided to try to find ф shoulder bones inside the human body, The hardest part was to find a scapula position. but I think that when I'll learn shoulder muscles better I'll try to make a second approach.

Looks like a pretty good job to me, @Eveline Rupenko! Solid forms and coherent representations of the motion of the scapulas and their relationship with the clavicles overall. I’d do just one thing differently in the last two ones: try to push the clavicles a bit more towards the front in order to show the protraction. Other than that, keep up the good work!

Here is my bunch of drawings for this lesson, I've used both skelly and assignment photos for this lesson. I'm using landmarks as a guidelines for anges of the torso bones, but still not always sure if I defined the position right!
Hey Eveline,
For the most part you did pretty well. In some of the poses I noticed that you are stiffening up the poses a bit by not pushing the ribcage enough. Also, make sure you understand that the pelvis usually points down away from the ribcage. This causes a counter balance to the body.
I did some quick sketches to show you what I'm talking about, I hope it helps :)

Hi here is my assignment for this lesson! I've drawn simplified version of ribcage from different angles as well as more realistic one to memorise the directions of the ribs better for each plane.

Hi everyone! Here are my pelvis studies! I've tried to use a 3d model, and also tried to find a pelvis inside the human body using the photo! I find the coccyx placement most difficult sice mine seems to look longer than Stan's Sometimes
I must say your systematic way of studying is very good for learning, and I see improvements in your drawings.
As far as the coccyx, just think about the fact that it ends in the center of the hole of the pelvis. I did a quick sketch to show you some perspective things that I hope will help :)
Nice work.

Oh wow! These look great! Awesome job.
Good lord these are beautifully drafted. What resources have you found helpful to improve your perspective skills to get this level of accuracy?
I’m am starting drawabox soon, as recommended on the Draftsmen podcast, but always looking for more options.
Keep up the great work (and maybe someone with more skill than me can find some actual critiques…)

Hi Everyone! Here is my drawings of spine! Both skelly and photos! Photos turned out to be tricky, not sure if I figured out everything correctly.

hi! Was drawing along with Stan during this lesson! This was really helpful! Want try to do this myself using another reference on a second approach for this assigment!

Hello! Here is my first try for this assigment! Think I Still lack the anatomy knowledge to convert it into decent structure. Plan to make a copy of Stan's demo fron the next lesson and make a secon pass on this assigment.

Really nice! I actually think the structure is the strongest part of this drawing, so don't worry about that.
- The structure and rendering looks pretty good, but the values are a bit confusing. Some of the values in the light are as dark as the darker parts of the shadows. And some of the values in the shade are as light as the lightest parts of the lights. As a rule of thumb, the lightest dark should be darker than the darkest light. Check out this video Mind-Blowing Realistic Shading Tricks.
One important part of shading is value control. Are you familiar with values? If think this could be a great time to go on a short detour from the figure drawing course, and do some value studies. Dorian Iten has a great video on value studies How to Organize Values . You can get it for free in the Proko Course Sampler.
For me it helped to start by doing 2-value studies. Then when I felt like I had a good grasp of that, I moved to 3-value studies. Then 4, then 5. For the 5 value study you might use this process: first a 2-value separation. Then add a midtone (3rd value), then add a darker light (4th value) and a lighter dark (5th value).
Pick or take photos of a subject you like to make the exercise even more enjoyable.
Having good value control and having a good grasp of value grouping will really help when shading. Plus I think you'll find that you can do some really cool stuff with it.
- Another thing that has helped me when shading is to clearly define the shadow shapes in a lay-in. Making sure that they're not ambigous, but clearly designed.
Making the terminator edge soft, and giving a hard edge to cast shadows and the end of a form in shadow, gives a clear effect of light right away.
Hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions.
