added comment inForward, bombard it with critiques!!
I think a lot of your shapes are great, however your shading is off as the shadows are becoming "muddy", this happens when values are not placed where they ought to be. For instance you are making the core shadow the same value of his beard which is much darker, you are also saying the cloth is lighter than the calf. When this is off it creates a lot of imbalance and makes your drawing look a little off, which is again is a shame because I think you are nailing the anatomy

These are some recent studies that I've done the past 2 weeks, I'm still snuggling with the back and the forearms, but working chronologically in the video's, let me know your feedback!

Help, the hand assignment has taken the longest for me to accomplish. It's very hard for me to keep all the "finger" boxes in perspective and to foreshorten them appropriately. Please help, pleas critique.
i think the hand in the bottom right got a bit messed up on the fingers but other then that it looks perfect

Hands are complicated but looks like you did it very well. Proportions look worked out fine. Is that a question mark above the thumb on lower middle hand drawing? I was wondering if you had a question about that area specifically.

I'm revisiting these lessons. Would appreciate some feedback ^^
Great lines, expressions and gesture.
Right now I'm going through the Loomis book that Proko uses to teach heads. I'm seeing a lot of proportions that are not lining up properly. It's very important to Loomis that the initial proportions are correct. For instance your ears are above the brow line when they should be even with it. There are also some shapes on your faces that look "2D" as in you put in a 2D shape instead of thinking about how the form would look in perspective.
But really good work overall!

Delt drawings. Took some advice from some people, tried to be more intentional where I shaded, also trying to make better lines. Thank you to everyone, please critique.

Nice work Anthony. Look for the core shadow line that divides the shadow side from the light side and try making it a touch darker than the shadow. It will ad depth and a 3d feel to the drawing. Some times people call it the bed-bug-line too. There is a great article on this important shading technique written by Darren Rousar. Here is the link...

Keep up the nice work!

Some upper back sketches, please give me some feed back please : )
I like the dynamic forms! Just make sure to get those simple 3d shapes before rendering detail.
As others have mentioned, more focus on proper values would really help identify the forms you're making. Maybe thumbnail it out with just 2 or 3 values and see if it reads? Apart from that, I feel like the muscle fibers are being used to fill in the figure, but aren't being used to describe the form. The fibers are a great opportunity to show the roundness or flatness of the muscles, but I get the sense that you may have just outlined the muscle locations then squeezed the fibers into the 2d shape.
this is a good start. I think you need to make a better shaped backbone to start off your drawing
i'm no master of anatomy myself, but value management my dude, like being clear where the light is coming from could help big time 0:)
like for example these spots, almost facing the same angle should also almost have the same value, based on the butt spot where the light information is strong.
hope this helps 0:)
also the other guy is shoving his hand up the other guy 👌
The shading could be used to create better volumes with more light, shadow core and reflected light. Muscles of arm need more asymmetry
There's two thing I'd like to suggest.
First is to try more linear drawings. Right now the way it is I can't make a clear reading of your values, what's in shadow, what is in light....When doing this anatomy studies try using the minimum of lines. Just enough to show form. If you try many thing at once the result will be messy. Aim for clarity.
Second is to beware of the snowmen effect. Your third figure for example. You used a ball for the trapezius, then another ball for the deltoids and other for biceps/triceps. Pay attention to gesture and always try to vary your shapes to keep your designs interesting.
Best regards

Hello together. Here are some of my drawings since I have started the portrait course. Critiques would be great. Thank you in advance. Have a great day 😉✏️
I think your Reilly head looks great, I think when you stared to apply shading it's kinda falling apart. Think about the direction of your light and use the guides you created as plane faces.

Hello, here is my submission for lower back assignment. Any feedbacks are welcome! :D
These are looking great!
Looks like you're making the spinalis and erector spinae way to prominent. They'll soften when they get to the mid part of the back and they are smaller then they appear in the lower back, so I would revisit the proportions.
