Nice drawing Richard, the proportions and gesture look good.
I did notice that you need to think about your edges a bit. There are two kinds of edges for the shadows, form and cast. All your shadows feel like they have the same edges.
Also, the light is coming from the top which means that will be the lightest. As you move away from the light, your "light" areas will start to darken.
I did a quick paint over to show you what I mean :)
Thank you Steve! Great feedback. You nailed things that were nagging at me but I wasn’t sure about solving.
Hey everyone, please let me know what you think of this drawing - charcoal on smooth newsprint.

Hey all, please critique my calf assignment. Having just looked at Stan’s work again, I see I could have spent more time on line and shape design (straights vs curves, assymetry, etc). Thanks
I think these look great! If I could offer any critiques - mostly a personal taste - I think some harder edges in the shading of the quad(?) - the first image where the guy is squatting.

So as I was doing the hamstring assignment, this photo came across my Instagram feed (don’t judge me, it’s art. LOL). The hamstrings are difficult to identify because there seems to be only one raised column that comes straight from the “egg” of the calf muscles. I’ve associated that ‘column” with the semitendinosus, and shown , in purple, how my muscle overlay matches (and doesn’t) with the furrows in her legs. By the way not all of the ends of the biceps femoris where it connects to the fibulae are shown, because the legs are turned away somewhat. Of course, I could be completely wrong, what do you think?

Here's my Quad Assignment. Decided to use charcoal this time. Critiques welcomed, thanks.
Hey, Charles, here’s what I see: 1) lack of clarity - it’s often hard to see the muscle boundaries, so I can’t tell whether they are accurate or not, 2) line quality is poor and contributes to lack of clarity, 3) the sartorius tends to vary back and forth in thickness along it’s length and between legs - it’s actual thickness is often impossible to see, so I guess we need to at least try to make it somewhat streamlined and uniform, 4) lack of structure, particularly in the knees. Now I need to go back and see if I practiced what I preached! Good luck!
