I will suggest you to improve your line quality and rhythm. So a fluid line soul does not appear. This video by Mike Mattesi will help you understand what I mean. Good luck David. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyuCq6VWVeA

Thanks Muhittin!

Hi David! Yes I recommend reviewing drawing and figurative basics before jumping into anatomy. learn gesture to add rhythm, force, fluidity and remove the scratch-iness, hesitation, and stiffness of your lines. Drawing with "C" and "S" curves and using your shoulder and not your wrist to draw has helped me. Dont worry about light/shading until you've learned basic line quality, perspective and form (making 2d look 3d). Don't be cookin on all 4 burners at once just yet. You seem to be focused on the superficial symbolic shapes of the muscles and their minute details. Draw the larger picture and the whole body's gesture and figure before doing the details. We all want to draw super-hero bodies, but we need the patience and humility to draw the sometimes-boring fundamentals; I am guilty of this too, but godspeed!

Critique/advice please
Hi All, these are some drawings for the external obliques assignment part 2. They are meant to be gesture drawing but they somehow don't feel the same as Stan's. I have not enrolled in the figure drawing course so I'm thinking that I would benefit doing that before I continue with the anatomy. Any advice/critique would be hugely appreciated. Thanks, David
