added comment inSpine Assignment Example 7-10 - Trace Models
Proko's rendering of example 3 looks wrong to me - the pelvis he drew looks like it's squeezed into 2/3 of her actual pelvis, and showing way too little of the top plane. Does anyone else see this? Also, the angle he drew for the bottom of the ribcage looks off given the angle of the shoulders - are her arms raised so much that the actual angle of the top of the rib cage is totally different than what you can see? Definitely confused and could use feedback (I know mine is wrong, too lol)

Here’s my try at drawing the boxes using the blob approach. haha, I don't think it came out that great. I feel like I might be missing something.
Your big picture of these is really good - in that the relationship of the sides is more or less correct! The devil is just in the details when you zoom into any one of your planes. As Rachel mentioned, sometimes your lines are actually going away from each other, when they should be parallel, or a hint of convergence.
I did not Want to see that

Second attempt on the level 2 assignment. The image is a little upclose since I did not put any borders around the drawing, so I thought it looked better this way, I would love to know if there are any points of improvement here! One word of advice i'd give myself is that I kinda shot myself in the foot by going so dark with a hb pencil, if I didn't I most likely could have reduced the amount of noise in the darker areas, but I guess doing more and more of these will help with that. I also tried to do little to no detail at all and just focusing on the larger, clustered shapes, was that a good call?

Male and Female Studies. Critique appreciated!
Lately, I feel like I'm in a good vibe for getting a good rhythm, stretch, and movement going for observed subjects, but I am having some difficulty carrying this over to my imagination drawings. I seem to do much better at constructing the figures via robo bean, mannequin, etc. than gesturally cranking them out (from imagation), which concerns me. Any crucial steps I'm missing to get that to translate better? Thanks!
@Michael Hampton your gestural approach seems great for creating poses from imagination, but I'm struggling to connect with it in the same way I have with Proko's approach (sometimes using large sweeps instead of following the skeleton underneath). Looking at my work, do you have any suggestions on how to wed those approaches so I can unlock more imagination stuff?

Finished analysing and learning from the ones shown! Here is my 2 day progress; the first are so bad looking back. 😅 Now it's time to do on my own; I bought Sekaa's album specially for this. The most annoying part is spotting perspective errors and not knowing how to fix them yet...but practicing more poses tends to answers past questions along the way.

I went through this class long ago, and I'm in a season where it's time to revisit it. 🥰
I'm a casualty of the "drawing from the right side of the brain" era, being intermediate to advanced in portraits from reference, but not so good at imagination.
Well, after studying for years, tonight was a break through for me. I feel like I actually could start to see the rotation of the subject in my mind's eye and then translate that to paper. I can see some things off... still it feels like a jump for me!
Please, any critique appreciated - I'm ready to grow!

Getting pretty challenging. Lots of things to keep track of, and I think I'm gonna have to do a lot of these and get some of this in my subconscious brain before getting too much further into the facial features. Still struggling on how to identify the temple from imagination (referenced ones are okay) and also getting that chin correct based on the angle
@Michael Hampton a question I had was when carving out the side of the skull, does the carved out ellipse go perpendicular to the angle of the head tilt, or is it that I'm suppose to follow the angle of the side plain now (like perpendicular to the brow line that goes back?

I think I am starting to understand these up angles now! I posted some practice. Wondering if you think I'm understanding these chin plains okay now? @Michael Hampton or if its okay to move on at this level of understanding...
This course is so fantastic and so much thoughtful work has been put into it!
