Really difficult task. Almost gave up on this assignment, but glad I finished. Any feedback is welcome

Very nice! The hardest part about drawing breasts can be just not overthinking it. Learning to make them look natural takes some practice.
This is good. I think you got it.

Hey minniephan,
Your drawings are pretty nice, your proportions and lines look good.
I did have some notes on the breast part of the drawings, so I did some quick sketches to show you some things I hope will help :)

Hi @ehioe, really nice drawings!!
- The lines are really nice, but it would be great if you did one more, where you showed the forms more clearly. Comparing your drawings to the reference, I get the feeling that your drawings might be lacking some mass of the pecs, beneath the breasts.
- Also while you're at it, try drawing one from imagination, this is a great way to test your knowledge.
I hope this helps :)

Ok, I've been chipping away at this exercise over a few sittings. It was good to draw the full torso and head with this, it made it easier having that context. I'm looking forward to covering the muscles of the armpit and that general area, as I'm still unsure of it.

Nice work!
- I think you could bring more gesture and form into your work. Before adding details, you might want to start with a lay-in as simple as an animator's drawing, capturing the gesture and making sure the major volumes are in place (I'm currently working on this myself, which I think is why I noticed).
- Study how the breast interlocks with the pectoralis muscle. It hooks behind (see eBook: The Breasts, page 1)
Hope this helps :)

Feels like I totally miss the point. Did 2 mins drawings. Didn't pay attention to the pecs.

Hello,
In this post I am seeking two pieces of advice. Any critique for the quick sketches focusing on breasts is greatly appreciated. I have included two versions of five different poses from the unit. The first is my attempt prior to the video. The second is my attempt while following Stan.
Secondly, I am wondering what the best process is for taking photos or scans of my drawings. I find my charcoal drawings are often too faint, so I cannot use a black&white option on a scanner. I also know Stan often discourages poor lighting but anytime I am taking a photo I struggle with a shadow of my hand or the camera. How do you share your traditional drawings and sketches cleanly on a digital platform?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vince

Hey Vince,
I did a couple of sketches to show you how to think about the breast while drawing them. Just remember that they are 3 dimensional objects sitting on the 3 dimensional shape of the rib cage. You will see I used cross sections to show there mass, this is something you can do to help you think 3 dimensionally. Hope this helps :)

These look really good! The breast are drawn far enough from the clavicle for the pecs to show and that looks great. I like how they feel like apart of the round form of the rib cage and change shape according to the position of body and gravity. Great work!

good work. I would try to push the core shadows more on the breasts to show a soft form. Also think about making cast shadows harder edged the closer they are to the form casting the shadow.

Hi Audrey!
Great job! I don´t have much to say about the breasts other than a quick note:
In #9 it doesn´t feel like her left breast sits on the ribcage.
Usually a contour line represents the end of a form. The breast ends as it attaches to the ribcage, therefore it's wise to place the line where the breast intersects with the ribcage. In your drawing it´s a little high up.
It also helps to draw the contour in a way so that it looks wrapped around the ribcage.
FIGURE DRAWING
The figure drawings themselves are good too, they have gesture and form. Though both gesture and form could be even better. I know Liandro pointed it out before, but I want to point it out again, because your drawings and anatomy studies have so many great qualities that I´d like to see come into full bloom :)
I think the key to make that happen is to, on the side as you continue with the anatomy course, revisit parts of the figure drawing course.
If you´re up to it, would you mind doing a few gesture quick sketches, as assigned in this lesson? https://prokolab.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-gesture/notes Then tag me as you post them and I´ll take a look at them.
Hope this helps and I´m looking forward to help you reach even greater heights :)
