I want to get better at portrait drawing, but everything I draw from imagination looks off somehow. I've been drawing from plaster casts online and pictures of faces online and they turn out fine, if a bit cartoonish and off, but anytime I draw separate from that, it looks strange. Here are two of my drawings, the first is just a bunch of one-line loose face drawings from imagination, and the second is a drawing of an oc

A while back, and I mean a LONG while back, Proko released a free file of skully skull images in jpg and png format. It was great. The skulls were in male and female variation, and in various minute angles. But sadly, I lost my file at some point. I was going to trace over the images in Procreate, adding the muscles -- and then the fat pads -- on top. Would anyone happen to still have this file and be willing to share it?

Is there any recommendations for a really good anatomy book? I need further understanding of forearms and back muscles in different positions.

Can someone help me with the measurements of bucket for pelvis? I know that numbers are not gonna be useful for drawing but for me i measure first and visulize it like from the photo I like to know the height and width of the bucket from front, side and top and also how slant it is I hope you can help me Thankyou

Hello everyone my intent with these drawings was to practice anatomy and I am studying Andrew loomis drawings and the following are the copies of his drawings can anyone give their feedback also my approach with these drawings were that just know about the group of muscles for example simplify the forearm muscles into groups like extensors into whole group(I was overwhelmed with all the muscles in the body and it became tougher for me to draw it)

Yesterday, I studied the hand—my nightmare. I mean, I love anatomy; it's amazing to see how the human body moves. But the hand... How can something I use every day be so demonic to draw?

Good Day. Any advice for my drawing of the pelvis? These all came from my imagination. (Except 1)

ive watched a few and it seems Stan never really gets into drawing veins other than a mention sometimes, is there a reason like they're too random? and i guess how would i typically go with learning veins?

I'm studying anatomy right now and tried doing a greyscale study today, how did I do with the figure and light and shadow? Any feedback would be appreciated.

All of these were timed 5min poses from a picture of a model

This is a figure drawing from life. Spent around 4 hours on it. This was kind of a hard pose to draw but I think it's important to try and draw different positions of a human figure. It's also very huge. We draw in class on life-size papers so that the figure is around the same/similiar size as the paper. The biggest problem for me and my classmates is to fit the whole figure into that huge paper. Do you have any tips for this?? It's charcoal by the way. I would also be very happy if someone here has some tips on how to actually START drawing the figure on huge formats. The beginning of a huge drawing is always the hardest not only for me.

Most of these are new. maybe a day old.

Some of the drawings with proko’s timed sessions, to keep track of any progress. First image has 2min sessions that I corrected afterwards with pen. Then 5 min sessions with graphite and in the last image I decided to draw directly with pen (5min) then accentuated some lines with a marker. Most of the days I start with those sessions. What a great idea of the Proko team to create these!

I’ve made some progress! After watching a few videos on measuring portraits and reading about different face drawing methods - I’ve done 15 more heads. I would really love advice and criticism on what to work on next. Only 45-60 are posted due to the attachment limit.

Just want some help with an image i am working on and i'm having a hard time with these eyelashes. Specificly because i dont know if there correctly placed or not. Would love some help here. Thanks. PS sry for the bad image quality.

I always have trouble remembering how much of the elbow/triceps tendon area is supposed to show when I'm drawing the arms in various positions from different angles, and it always bugs me because if it's wrong then I have to redraw the arm. I was curious to know if there are any mnemonic devices or any tricks to help remember how much of the elbow/triceps tendon area is seen at different angles and in different positions. I am focusing my studies on arms right now and I am confident this issue will be less of an issue with time

Criticism greatly appreciated! I’m still on the 100 Heads Challenge and need more advice on what to focus on. Currently, I’ve been trying to center the facial features while maintaining the correct 3D construction of the nose and eyes. Only 31-45 are posted due to the attachment limit.

Hey everyone, I’ve been trying out the 100 Heads Challenge and would really love some criticism on my work so far. I’ve done 30 heads - with varying success - and would like to know how to train for the next 70 (preferably advice on value and structure). Only 15 - 30 are posted due to the attachment limit.

Found some of the YouTube videos, I’m starting out on learning how to sketch people / anatomy and the rhythm idea just unlocked so much!! Here’s a before (from before watching) and a quick 5 mins I did after watching the videos on drawing arms, legs and poses from any angles.
