This is my attempt at this before watching the video

Alright here's the spearman assignment. This took much longer than I wanted in to but here it is. Some of the brown underpainting still showing but this is as far as I'm going to take this. I think I need to get much better as simplifying my work and study more anatomy. I tried to alter/enhance the form a bit instead focusing on accurate representation. Let me know what you guy's think.
Melanie Scearce
Awesome work! I like the effect of the underpainting showing through. And great call to interpret the pose rather than copying. You did a great job emphasizing that S curve. Only critique of mine is that the right leg above the knee is a bit short. It competes with the gesture to have that knee be higher than the left. I would move it down and maybe shave off a bit of volume in the left leg.

You did great! I appreciate the quality of rendering on the forms here. It’s ok to take your time on detailed drawing like this. Keep practicing and the simplification will get easier. I think a few simple adjustments could add more depth to your figure. I made a draw-over for you here:

Asked for help
I don't paint much so that's one issue along with the fact this is my first time using Gouache. It became so frustrating trying to create a smooth transition from my light values to the shadow and ending up digressing in this painting. I ended up using so much paint and I didn't get the ladies likeness at all. I was too busy fighter the paint. It was either not enough water or too much and I'll be honest I'm not happy with this end result. Any advice for creating smooth transition to halftones in Gouache?

For some reason I can't create a smooth transition when I paint. I put paint down and it ends up being darker or lighter than I wanted. This lead me to constantly going back to square one in my painting.

Okay I've been struggling quite a bit with this gouache painting. I keep trying to create transition from light to dark and I keep going back to square one. Any advice please

When I had trouble seeing the oblique form under the skin, I just drew a ribcage and pelvis in another layer. Give me your thoughts.
Rachel Dawn Owens
Nice oblique studies! The skeleton is a good idea too.

2025/1/31. Good morning everybody. This is a series of illustrations a friend of mine commissioned to me for his language school. Student are supposed to look at the scenes and try to tell the story. I didn't use references pics. The characters are from my imagination. Thanks for any comment or critique. Have a good week end.

Amazing

These are part oblique, other muscle, and figure studies
