The breast is pulled upward so I identify the 5th and 10th ribs to place the rib cage. Sugeestions are welcomed.

Good guess! I think you are right :D
Not sure if I would worry too much about those specific ribs, at least I personally wouldn't. I think you can improve the shape of the ribcage. It looks flat. Pay attention to the connection between the neck (cylinder) and how it connects with the ribcage. I think that should help with the 3d effect. Complicated pose, good work!

A teacher told me once: "when studying Bridgman, pay attention to how he desings his shapes". I think that makes sense after understanding the inter wedging and inter locking concepts. Your studies are great, by the way.

hi guys, this is my try on the assignment, not sure if I simplify the form enough, kind of treating it as an exercise for my drawing basics course that is now focusing on perspective. Hope I apply them well here. Not sure the form intersection with other forms, like sphere and cylinder is right or not. Would love to hear your feedback. Btw I found my paper has smudges when I erase my marks, any advice on that would also be appreciated. Now I'm just trying not to erase as much as possible : (
I wouldn't worry too much about erasing. These are exercises, so you are expected to make mistakes. If you can get the skelly app or find bone references, do it and copy them. Find interesting poses to practice the perspective. Avoid any poses where the bones look flat. I liked your drawings, I think you are doing great.

Looking for feedback, completely got lost with Proko's explanation in the video. Tried my best to replicate the tracing. Any advice in how to memorize muscles groups.
That's good tracing. For memorization, just the old practice, practice, practice. Rewatch the video, re-do the excercise, go to the tools/timer section and find references of the back in different positions and trace them and draw them. Then, go back to the video. Things start to fall in their place after repetition. At least, that's what allowed me to memorize relevant muscles. Happy practice!
I agree with you, external oblique and abs vary from individual to individual. In my opinion, I think that watching a lot of references is very helpful. Look up pinterest for body builder torsos and sketch them. I guess that, in time, you'll build a visual memory of this part and will be able to incorporate it when you draw from imagination. That's what I would do (and what I actually do :)). I hope you can pass your block. @Isaac Litman

Hello. Sometimes I struggle with the pelvis, and how to imagine the pelvis as a box, instead of round disks; like, where would the corners of the box be? I'd love and appreciate some tips on drawing the pelvis as a simplified shape.
IMO it's very hard to fit the pelvis in a box. The bucket shape is easier/better. The box works for me when the model has muscles. I prefer the bucket when drawing a skelleton. In your drawing, despite of the box, I really like the pelvis you draw inside. It looks very accurate.

Here are m hand Assignment submissions. All comments and critiques are greatly appreciated
Beautiful hands, great job! I particularly like the skin folds, the way you show muscles and gesture and the shading.
Asked for help
Hi everyone, could someone tell what this line corresponds to please ? I encircle the line in question in red. Is it the musle or a skin fold or something else in your opinion ?
Thank you !!
I agree with @squeen . That's the pectoral muscle. You can't actually see its attachment to the arm in that photo because it inserts in the interior side of the arm.

I like your drawings. Regarding planes I've found very usefull to draw the asaro head over and over. I think there's an app with a model you can pose. Then, try to find those planes in your references.
About cheeckbones, I think you could study the skull and make a ton of skull drawings from reference. I think that getting to know the bone structure helps you to see that through your references.
Finally, about shading, I believe that's the same recipe that what I said above (and that's only my opinion). Study the skull and make hundreds of drawings to learn the structure. Study the asaro head and make hundreds of drawings to learn planes. Study basic shading and make a hundreds of excercises (Dorian Iten has an awesome video about shading here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vapw6n6FyU). I think that after practicing a lot of concepts separately, you get to understand them and apply them automatically in your final drawings.
