Hi @Kianna Peppers, these look really cool! - The proportions of the overall foot and the pieces of the foot vary a bit from drawing to drawing, so that's something to pay extra close attention to in the simple lay-in. It could be valuable to study drawings of feet by animators, to see what simple forms they've used to draw the feet (Mowgli for example. Or Tarzan.) I mention animators, since one thing they have to be good at is keeping the pieces of the body consistent as they move the characters around. - It might also be valuable to practice drawing feet from imagination. - The angle of the ellipses on your cylinders tend to be slightly off. On a true cylinder, the minor axis of the ellipse alligns with the major axis of the cylinder. - In #2 the structure of the toes is a little unclear; they feel a little soft. The digits haven't been drawn as clear separate pieces, but rather merge together. - I'm not a 100% sure, but the crossections you've drawn for the metacarpals (2-5 (five being the pinky)) in image #3 might be incorrect. The crossections suggest that the thickness of the metacarpals is taller than it's wide, but I think it's the oppsite, like you've done it in the other drawing on the same page; drawing the metacarpals like bridges. I hope this helps :)

Great dynamic hand drawings. While the wrist wasn’t the focus of the assignment, something to perhaps consider going forward is playing up the boxiness structure of the form of wrist to contrast dynamism of hands. in drawings i perceive wrists look a bit too small, and kind of flowy /unstructured compared to size of the hands/ lengths of fingers. I hope that helps.

Wow, these are really nice! I like the design; they are very enjoyable to look at :) - In #1 the carpals look a little small, which makes the thumb's metacarpal end up in the wrong place. When you decide to give the hands a revisit you might want to do some studies of the carpal mass and the thumb's metacarpal's interaction with it. It helps to study and touch your own hand. Can you find the root of the thumb? When I studied the hands I noticed that if I adduct my thumb the trapezium shows up as a bony protrution. - In #1 you have both heads of the 1st dorsal interosseus attach to the thumb's metacarpal. I think one of them should attach only to the index finger's metacarpal. - You might want to lower the value of the shadows for the form to read more clearly. The brain might interpret shade that is too light as halftone and get confused about the form (Mind-Blowing Realistic Shading Tricks at 6:47 ) Hope this helps :)

Nice work with these. The anatomy looks good and the presentation of the work is beautiful, especially in the first picture. Also, the overall linework looks clean and confident, so good job :) I have a little bit of critique but it is only my personal opinion: 1. The first illustration looks good and is presented very nicely. From an information standpoint, it's also great how you've used color and contour to isolate the various muscle groups from one another, however; as you are also pointing out the individual muscles, I feel like those could've been slightly more separated too with a bit more contrast, so they pop out as individuals. 2. The shading in the color version of 5.1 feels a bit intense and kind of pulls focus away from the muscle information itself for me a little. Perhaps breaking it up a little with some reflected light or making it very slightly lighter would help - more like how it is on the 2nd drawing in 1.1, which I think works better. Hope this helps, and really good work :)

Not an anatomical critique but I would withhold from shading on a pure white canvas. You can lay in a flat value that is close to the midtone that you see in the photo (a value from the light family that isn't a highlight but isn't near the core shadow either - a halftone). This will vary from person to person (different skin tones and lighting schemes) but having a grey value as a basis means that you can push it darker and lighter - creating a 3-dimensional form. Also, vary up your edges when you are dealing with different kinds of forms. As a rule of thumb, broader and softer forms like muscles will have softer edges and harder forms like tendons and bones will have sharper edges. Analise the edges in your reference and decide what kind of edge you will need to use. Putting cross contours around each muscle/form will reveal what kind of edge you need and where to place it. Good luck

First, nice job identifying everything. Most of your drawings feel solid. However,There's a few things that I would like you to keep in mind in case you try these exercises again. First exercise: Give more thought to the hand. You can zoom in to see more details. Also As you straighten the arm the bones of the forearm would be bigger than what you indicate Second exercise: I don't see any major mistake here Third exercise: The rib cage is to bubbly and short. The actual shape is longer and resembles an egg shape. Fourth: This one, I think you should redo first Because you didn't draw ant joints. I would like to see you represent the hinge joint and the wrench shape of the leg grabbing the foot Fith: Palm is too long and so are the ulna and radius Sixth: I think the scapula is pointing in the wrong direction. Good work, Keep drawing, Best regards
