Critique my Back Studies
3yr
Jason Arizona
Hi proko community! I was drawing something today and realized i hated the way I draw backs. So, I decided to pause and do some studies from the Anthony model pack. (clockwise from left, 111, 005, 175.) I think the right lat on the far left drawing is a bit two dimensional, for lack of a better word. Otherwise, I'm pretty proud of these. What's good, what's bad, and where do i go from here?

Very nice sketch page. I appreciate your self-critique, however, I think the right lat is good. Sometimes it just looks a bit flat, as it might have on the original source. My only suggestion is that the right arm of the figure is so slightly drawn that it does not provide enough context for the lat. One or two lines would do the trick. Refer to your other two views. Also, a quick gesture might lead the eye through the open center of the page composition. Good stuff.

Hi @Jason Arizona, nice studies! To get a better feeling for where to guide you from here, I looked through your album as well as the images you've posted on twitter. I really like the composition in some of you're pieces (the bird flying in the woods, and the news paper ones, for example). You also seem to have a general understanding of anatomy, and you're doing pretty well with shading. I think you would really benefit from taking the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course. With the skills from the figure drawing course (especially gesture and structure), the knowledge and skills you already have will rise to a whole new level. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
