Hi! You're setting a good foundation with three-dimensional forms, so nice work :) There are a few pointers I hope are useful to you going forward: - Snowman effect: Following the natural curvature of the human body, there is more of a back and forth rhythm between limbs, as opposed to a symmetrical pinching at the joints. It can be useful to find this first in gesture before laying in the cylinders. I've attached a quick sketch below to further illustrate this. - In #1's original reference, her torso appears to be more curved outwards, with most of the volume appearing forward enough to be on the other side of her arm. Right now, it seems to be missing both that forward gesture and the volume that would make it feel three-dimensional. It seems you got a better hang of it with the next attempts though, but keep in mind using gesture to lay in your initial stage--and assessing it as well, using the relationship between parts to compare (e.g. the arm's position by the torso). - Feet: Here in the demo, the feet are simplified into their gesture, but if you want to add more structure to them, you could use a triangular "wedge" shape. - Neck: Careful with too thick of a neck, especially on women. #2 and #3 seem correct in size, but #1 should be about 2/3rds of the current width. Hope this helps! :)
