added comment inHow to Draw the Spine
Asked for help
Hello, I would like to get some critique for the first part of the third assignment before I move on. Thank you all!

I think Gabi below gives you a pretty good critique. My 2 cents: Try cleaning up your lines a bit more next time too; they look very scratchy and furry (don't worry - common mistake!). You can use an eraser to lighten your sketch (kneaded erasers work best, but any one will do), then go over it a final time, but try to make longer, smooth lines rather than a series of scratches. Keep up the good work!!

I think it would be beneficial for you if you went back into the lesson and focused on the proportions and movement of the spine. The thoracic section seems to be a bit too short and too curved (especially in drawing number 2).
Something else to remember is that usually the lumbar and thoracic sections move together. For example, the twisting usually comes from the thoracic spine but the top few lumbar vertebrae will move/ twist a bit with it. Especially in your third drawing it looks like these two sections are separate because they don’t seem to flow into each other.
In the lesson, Stan talks about an exercise where you only draw the spine and use the standard proportions to move it in space. I think that could help a lot. Hope this was helpful!

Hello, everyone! I would like to get some constructive critique before I move to the shading :) Thank you all <З
In order to make the shading easier you need to establish the planes clearly (where is the front of the torso and where does it turn to the side of the torso). The drawing is pretty good but I suggest less focus on contours and more on forms. Hope that helps

Tried drawing these from different angles to practice imaginative drawing. Critiques are much appreciated
Hello! In my opinion the male reposting is very well done! As for the female one, I think that you need make adjustments in the foreshortening. The shoulders will look slightly bigger, the legs will look slimmer/smaller the more down they go and the ribcage and the torso will look closer together. I hope that this helps!

Hi, I'm currently practicing mannequinization. I know I have still to work a lot on the line quality but I would like some feedback on the exercise and if this is how I should approach it :) (sorry for the photo quality too)
Hello! These are some good attempts, only I will advice you to remove the lines inside as they take away the attention. Put lines on the places where the bones and the muscles are the most visible in order to give more volume and make it more believable. I hope that this helps!
