Hi @Lord, nice studies! Great gesture! My favorite is the 5th image; it has a very nice flow.
I'll do my best to help you further:
- It would be great if you treated these with the same care as your mannequins. Working with anatomy is like a continuation of the mannequin; you're still concerned about the forms and 3 dimensionality, but now you have a really complex mannequin to work with. The gesture is nice in your drawings, but the sense of structure could be clarified. It might help to think of the abs like a flexible block divided into rows of 2 bricks. Show where this form attaches and how it reacts to the underlying skeletal structure. When doing my anatomy studies, I always like to find the bones, to be certain I understand the anatomy.
Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
Hello, my main advice is to take better pictures. I say this because your figures look like they get narrower towards the head, but I'm unsure if it's because of the camera angle or your drawing. Other than that, I'd say exaggerate the gesture more, and remember that the pelvis and ribcage are a cupped hand apart.
I'd focus more time on perfecting the placement of the ribs and pelvis, as adding the abs on top is simply connecting the dots.
