E aí, @Gabriel Barros! Brasil tá na área! 😄 It seems you’ve practiced quite a lot for a one-day session, that’s awesome! Overall, I think these look good - I do notice a few things, though, which I believe you could keep an eye at as you keep practicing, so I listed a few notes below and I also drew over some of your sketches (image attached), hope you find it helpful. Here’s what I’d highlight as things to look out for: . GESTURE FIRST - Try to always start with the simplest gestural lines before getting concerned about anything else. No matter how solid the forms and perspective, or even how well rendered, a figure drawing will always look better if the gesture underneath is strong. . PERSPECTIVE OF THE BOXES - Tracking vanishing point isn’t always the case, but, whenever dealing with boxes, try to always consider how the lines should converge to convey a believable sense of volume and depth. Stan shows an interesting “step-by-step” approach in this video: Structure Basics – Making Things Look 3D (it starts at 10:22) . THE SIZE OF THE GAP - On the Robo-bean, it’s common to make the distance between the boxes too big, but, anatomically, the distance between the bottom of the ribcage and the top landmark of the pelvis (ASIS) is only about the width of the person’s hand when in a neutral standing pose. If there’s stretch or squish, that can change a little, but keep in mind to compensate on the pinching side when there is stretch on the other. Also, if possible, do your best to keep the proportions of the boxes consistent across all your drawings. I think that’s all I got for now! By the way, what a great idea to turn this topic you created into a study journal - I think it can be a super effective way to keep yourself on track and visualize your progress. Let me know in case you have any questions, and feel free to reach out whenever you’d like. Cheers!

Great work , you re doing them well . Only suggestion would be give each drawing some space . Third page is easy to read. Few overlaps on the first 2 pages. feels congested

Hi @Gabriel Barros, nice studies! I think it was a good idea to draw in the skeleton! Now you understand at least the big picture of it. I don't think you have to study the skeleton more before moving ahead. Just focus on the landmarks and construction. The skeleton will get full focus in the anatomy course. Really good job with the landmarks! You seem to have found them all, and the placement is quite accurate. But I'll do my best to be picky and point out some things that are off :) Cheers!

Thank you, Beth!

The first set of cubes have some issues with the perspective where the front corner becomes too long and they look stretched. The second page looks good :) Nice loose and dynamic lines in the gesture sketches!

They look really nice! The core shadow gesture is great! I think maybe in the fingers, it should be more a continuous gesture to indicate the general form, I fill it has too many bumps - which are not anatomically wrong! just think it loses a little of this gesture flow. Anyway, really nice studies.

i think they are amazing
