added comment inFigure Drawing Critiques 4 – Landmarks
It seems people rarely get feedback here in the comments, but I'm still gonna post my results. Hope someone will point out more mistakes. I enjoyed this part of the course the most so far. Though I haven't yet taken the anatomy one, so I didn't indicate that many muscles, especially in the back. I also struggled with the shape of the gluteus in most of these figures, just couldn't really see that "donut". Thanks in advance for any critique, I really hope I get it.

These are great! One thing I did notice is the lower legs seem to all to be a bit too long compared to the photos.

@onegogol There is a red “asked for help” tag you can mark your post, which may get more feedback from other students/ community members. As for some feedback from an initial gut reaction, these look really really good. As i don’t know your process, i’m not clear if the process was freehand or like digital anatomical tracing exercises from Anatomy course. If it was using any digital tracing overlays, then maybe next challenge could be drawing invented poses freehand using the landmarks you’ve identified so well. Appears you are more than ready to try challenge of taking a few of these same models and draw inventing a variation like what happens with that same character next in a scene. If i had to give one area to focus on Anatomy landmark wise i notice the calf muscles - gastrocnemius and soleus don’t appear to be well defined, and the graceful gesture of the front of lower leg of the c curve landmark that dominates front of tibia feels like it could be more present… almost like lower leg is bit too oversimplified/ too skinny. Overall, Very good landmark studies! I hope that helps.

So... here's my homework for the animals part. It was quite fun! I tried to imagine and draw the same animals from another angle too (heard this excercise helps to develop thinking in 3D), which is much easier when they are simplified like that. I see several problems already, especially with these imaginary angle drawings (like the horse's body cyllinder is wonky and the hippo's neck is longer than it should be), but I'd appreciate you guys pointing out some more that I can't see yet.

Hi. I've been practicing beans for two weeks now. It seems easier than gesture, I guess because there are less elements to screw up. Any critique is welcome, especially of the ones marked with red checkmarks - them I like the most, and I'd like to know if I have the right priorities. Thank you.

Ok, here's my sketches after two weeks of everyday practice... I tried to do each pose multiple times until I'm either at least somewhat satisfied with the result, or tired of the pose. I'm starting to doubt my decision to do it digitally. I keep ctrl+z'ing my strokes and I'm afraid I'm learning to brute force good curves instead of thinking how to actually put them right. Plus it takes time, that's, I think, why these 2 min sketches look more like those from the 30 sec examples. Do you think this is the case? Any other critique is highly welcomed by the way. I put red checkmarks beside the ones that I like the most (or rather hate the least), so that you could tell me if I focus on wrong things.
I think these are great! If you continue doing digital I would recommend not erasing or “ctrl z”. This way you can look at the drawing, analyze the lines, and repeat. And that way you can visually see the improvements overtime
