Here's what I did for the final anatomy drawing

Hi @Richard Petkiewicz. I think you´ve done a really good job capturing the proportions. Comparing your drawing to the photo reference, your drawing seems very accurate proportionally. I also think you managed to captured the flow going from neck, through torso into the right leg. Gesture is easy to forget when focusing on proportion, so good job there. I´ll try to look for things to help you further:
- I don´t think more anatomy knowledge is what´s needed to take this drawing to the next level, the anatomy is looking decent to me :) I think the next step for you would be to dive deeper into the fundamentals of drawing. I would recommend Proko´s Figure Drawing Course and after that Dorian Iten´s Shading course.
Going to the figure drawing fundamentals course, might feel like back-tracking, but trust me, it´s not. The fundamentals is what will make your figure drawings soar. It´s called FUNDAMENTALS for a reason. You´ll be able to use your anatomy knowledge in a whole new way.
The figure drawing course teaches you some shading, but Dorian Iten´s course is great if you want to dive deeper into the subject
I hope this helps :)

For my second full drawing, I did it from a photo of a friend instead of Morgan
It looks great, just too soft. I think a little bit of plane study (Asaro heads) would go a long way

Hi Richard, If you look in the "lesson notes" of the Hand Bones 3D model you will find the correct model. At this time we are not able to connect P3d models to out site, only embed them into the lesson notes. We are working on a solution to make this less confusing for users.
I found a really minor issue with the deltoids assignment examples. Example 6 is after the critiques. It should be after example 5.

Also, on the regular Proko site there is a 3D model associated with each assignment example. Those are also are missing from the beta site. I thought that they were the same as the 3D models under "Assignment: Draw the Hand Bones", but I see that they are actually a little different.
HI Richard, both the Hand Bones and Simplified Hand Bones models can now be found in the lesson notes of each assignment :)
It looks like a few things are missing from the hand bones section.
The 3D model labeled "The Hand Bones" is a duplicate of the one labeled "Forearm". The regular Proko site has the correct "Hand Bones" 3D model.
Also, on the regular Proko site there are 5 3D models under "Assignment: Draw the Hand Bones" which are missing from the beta site.
It looks like Arm-Bones-Assignment-Images.zip is missing from the downloads section of the How to Draw Arm Bones lesson. That zip file is available on the regular Proko site.

This is what I did for this assignment. Trying to figure out the back muscles in even a simple pose like this was harder than the front torso drawing I did earlier.

I decided to do this assignment in pastel and have some fun with the background.
