It was an interesting experience when I don't actually have to erase my mistakes, instead just continue searching for the correct lines. Overall, I think I did okay and managed to capture the references decently. However, there are still some proportional errors such as the penguin's head being a tad too large, or the middle finger looking a bit weird. But I am happy with how they turned out. Off to try sketching from imagination. Any other critiques or advice on how to improve are welcome.

Hey Everyone, please critique my lower leg homework.

Morning, I'll be hopping in on the course from here: I had started following the free part of the anatomy course months ago (before I ever started posting here!), but ended up taking a break and deciding to pause this in order to make room for the gesture course. Gesture will still be the primary but I'll ty to progress a bit here as well, given that gesture without anatomy knowledge can be tricky in the same way that anatomy without gesture was. Either way, there has been a big leap in time between the first 6 and last 2, so here goes nothin':

Here again. This last week was not it, but today's gestures make me hopeful of a turnaround. Let me know what I can improve on.

It's slightly tinted brown which I don't really care about, but it's weight is slightly less than my previous, and so I can't draw on both sides of the pages (you can see my previous drawings through it, even with pencil). In addition, it has a tooth that seems to eat at my pencil so much that I sharpen it every couple of pages compared to rarely before. Well I guess it's better to know than not :/
