Great studies. You did a good job finding the correct insertion and origin points and showing the pinch and pull based on the pose. Keep it up!

Great job completing the assignment! 1. Indeed. Shading is advanced. It might make more sense to cross-hatch where you see shadows for now until you're ready for it. The best reference I know is Scott Robertson's how to render. 2. It's roughly 1 head length between them from the 10th rib to the top of the iliac crest. 3. I'm mostly seeing the proportions are off on the figures. Some anatomy is not exactly right, but you're drawing to learn anatomy, so no biggie. It will take you years to get good. Be patient and draw every day.

Hi @Jason Winter These are awesome! Just a thought: I notice that you're clearly and with detail mapping out the shadows, to reveal the form. This gives a beautiful result. Just watch out for blindly copying the shapes in the photo. For me it has been useful to have more focus on construction and understanding the muscles´ form and function, so that once there is no reference I can invent. I like to do "x-ray" drawings, where I clearly indicate muscles and bones, making sure that I understand what's beneath. Maybe you're already aware of this, just wanted to let you know in case you weren't. I hope this was helpful :)

Hi @Văn Hiếu Võ, nice studies! Great mindset; dissecting the anatomy. They seem accurate to me. I'll try to look for things to help you further: - Try to show more of the ribcage's impact on the abs. Right now some of them feel a little boneless in the thoracic region. - Keep the line quality in mind. The drawings are little rough to me. With cleaner lines, they would appear even better. Make sure to check out this video if you haven't and apply what it teaches https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-hold-and-control-your-pencil/assignments If focusing on line distracts you to much when doing anatomy studies, 30 sec gesture quicksketches is a great way to practice it. Do them as warm up, let the line you put down be the one you use, even if it sucks, to build a habit of cleanliness. Accuracy comes with practice. The good habits have to be there from the start. Eventually the good line quality will intigrate into you anatomy drawings too. About your questions: PELVIS The pubis is difficult to see because of all the pubic fat. There are som hints, like the inguinal ligament, but not always clear. I think getting the pubis right is a matter of knowing the pelvis well and being able to draw it from imaginaton. When trying to find the pubis on the model, find the pelvis landmarks you can find, then think of what the 3D model of the male/female pelvis would look from this angle, and where the pubis ends up being. Your imagination fills in the gaps. PECS I'm not sure if this answers you're question, but I noticed that you're bending the clavicular portion in weird ways. In my experience, the clavicular portion goes straight from origin to insertion without sagging. However it wraps around the forms beneath. I hope this was helpful :)

Wow! Keep ut the good work!

Hi @Marco Sordi ! I think these are good. You seem to understand the abs and you´ve indicated the anatomy correctly. Overall, good job!   Knowing when to shade and not has been a struggle for me too. Shading is a great opportunity to show form, but it takes SO MUCH TIME. And I kinda grow impatient, because I feel that I'm getting sidetracked from my anatomy studies. The solution I've landed in is to ignore shading completely in my anatomy studies, using cross contours instead and practice shading separately   Here´s some feedback on your work:   I think the drawings could use some more emphasis on gesture and structure. When drawing the abs I think it's important to show the plane changes clearly and to emphasize the gesture of the pelvis and ribcage, between which the abs gets, crushed, bent, stretched or twisted. Try to get more of that in your drawings. You can start with an overexaggerated structure and angularity, drawing lightly, then soften it when you go over it with the final contour  As I´ve started to use my anatomy knowledge outside the assignments I´ve gravitated towards focusing more on function and structure, than on being super accurate with the anatomy. I´ve been inspired by how George Bridgman draws gestural bodies as if they were made of rocks. Trying to draw gestural figures with only straight lines is a fun challenge.   Hope this helps :)   PS: If you want to increase the chance of getting feedback on your work, post it under the assignments-tag

Nice assignment. There are 2 things that I'd like you to try more. One: do the bean exercise more. The way I see it, your abs are a little stiff. Try to think if they are stretching, compressing or bending. And deform the abs according to the movement. The other thing is design. The way you draw male abs is repetitive. They are always the same size and shape. Review the lesson on abs and observe the simplified diagram and try to apply in your drawing. There's a lot ot time since I did this exercise but I think Yoni's abs resemble the diagram a lot. Best regards

@Audrey Giovanni Looks nice overall! I feel like number 9 (and maybe number 5 too) looks a bit stiff. See if you can keep imbuing gesture into your anatomy studies. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!
