Hey, @mathews, nice drawings! The struggle is understandable, this is a challenging exercise. But keep going on!
Mostly, what I see is that your drawings have a lot more visual information than just Lower Back muscles, and adding this much stuff may be scattering your attention throughout the process. So, since this is a Lower Back muscle assignment, I’d suggest simply overlooking everything else in order to focus more sharply on the lower back.
I agree with @axel21's suggestion about following the order “gesture > bones > muscles” for the drawing process. Aiming to track the origins and insertions of each muscle should also really benefit your practice in this type of anatomy study.
I’m attaching an attempt of my own on one of the poses you did, hope it can serve as a visual complement to this feedback.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. And feel free to get in touch whenever you need help.
Best of luck in your studies!
Hi mathews. I really like how the lines flow, and the figures feel alive. I think that the only stiffness I see is on the pelvis on the seventh drawing. Proportions seem good too!
I think that if you start with the gesture, the arms and legs will feel more natural, like the rest of the body.
Also, it doesn't feel like the muscles attach to bones. I would suggest to try to draw the bones after the gesture, and try to map the origins and insertions of the muscles to the bones.
Finally, try to have different kinds of lines (not the same curve in repetition). For example, on the third drawing, you drew the upper arm with four identical curves (from nech to elbow).
I would suggest to have more straights and angles, so that the forms look more natural and solid.
Good luck in your anatomy studies!
unfortunately I haven't gotten to this part of the course, so I can't really offer critique. However, I can recommend looking up bodybuilders and tracing the anatomy on them, then drawing in contours to understand the 3-d form. It's really helped me and hopefully it can be helpful for you.
yeah I got lazy on these and also I was struggling on the bottom part of the pec, after doing these I checked proko's examples and I got a better idea how it looks like, thanks for the help!

These were really tricky , I had to copy Stan for a good part to even visualize the form and relation between the ulna and radius . I did one more ( others are coming ) to help me figure out these bones !
( I already see that I flatened the left Radius on my last attempt )
Very good man!
Just one note, in the third trace on the lady's left forearm the beginning of the radius is on the wrong side :)

Looks really good! Great job!
Hi Mathews, these are very well constructed pelvises.
The first and second pelvises don't have depth at the bottom plane, so the bottom plane feels a little flat in comparison with the rest of the pelvises. I can clearly see the depth on the iliac crests, so they feel much more solid in comparison.
I also noticed that in some pelvises you are taking some liberties and don't follow exactly the ellipses of the bucket, but on the last bucket, the left ASIS (right for us), ends before it reaches the construction line for it, and it creates an asymmetry that shouldn't exist. Also, the sacrum seems a little small here.
Lastly, on the 5th and last pelvises, if you look at the ASIS points where they fall down in order to connect to the pubis, one of them goes behind the construction line and the other in front of it. ( I think you wanted it to look like they go a little inward, inside the pelvis, is that right?) Although, I would suggest to follow the construction lines anyway, before attempting to make any changes.
Good luck in your anatomy studies :)
