Hi everyone. I always feel a bit lost in all the info so any helpful feedback will be appreciated. The Breast assignment. Thankyou.

Hi @John Masterton, nice studies! I think you've done a good job capturing the feeling of gravity, and the anatomy looks pretty accurate too!
One thing I noticed is that the shapes of the breasts differ from the photo reference; Bottom left: her left breast points up quite high, like a cone, compared to the reference, which is more a flattened cylinder. Bottom right: Her left breast curves up too much in the drawing, which makes it loose the feeling of gravity
Maybe this happened because you weren't thinking of the breasts as 3D structures. It would be interesting to see you approach the breasts with the same structure mindset, as when drawing the mannequin or when studying the bones (I attached an image from another critique. You can ignore the "1. 2. 3."- thing; that was only for that specific critique. I just wanted to show you breasts drawn as 3D structures. (They are kinda like jellyfish on top of the ribcage)
Or maybe this happened because of the drawing process. One thing that helped me a lot was to follow along with Stan and mimick his process. One thing I found him do was drawing an oval envelope for each breast. These were not simple outlines of 2D shapes; with it he encapsulated the form and indicated it's interaction with the ribcage. Very simple but showing a lot.
Hope this helps :)

Here are some of my better attempts at drawing the pelvis using the wireframe model. This exercise has been quite the workout for my brain. I feel that the cylinders that I base my pelvis' in are off compared to the bucket's model. Any feedback would be appreciated thanks!
Very good, Tony.
They all look solid and clean. Right now, what I think you can improve is perspective. the issue i'm seeing in most of these drawings are parallel lines that don't converge and forms that are pointed in the wrong way like the sacrum for example. The bottom right one is the prime example of this.
Whenever you're drawing like this, always have in your mind the box form. Ask yourself which lines are parallel, because when they are drawn in perspective they will converge to the same point. And be careful when you're laying the definitive lines. The pelvis on the middle for example you drew the bucket correctly but in the final drawing you draw the line of the psis converging to the wrong point.
You're in the right way but you need a fine tuning, So keep drawing boxes until you get an intuitive sense on how lines converge in perspective.
Best regards

I did some more studies. Hopefully this time my lines converge like they're meant to.
