Hey Jack Let's talk about line quality first and then we'll talk about your assignment. First. I don't think you're doing that bad in the line quality department. It's not like professional level yet but think like this: you're learning another language, you may not be able to use all verbal structure but you're communicating with what you have. As long as you keep talking, studying you'll be fluent one day. About getting better there's a few exercises: _ Draw two points in a page. Try connecting them with one line. The farther the points are one from another the more effective this exercise is. _ Draw ellipses, CSI lines freehand. Ellipses are specially difficult to draw the lower the angle (the flatter the angles) but is good practice This is from my own conclusions practicing so take with a pinch of salt. I think that the grip doesn't matter that much but it's imperative that you use your elbow and your shoulder to draw. It's really difficult get good line quality in longer lines using just your wrist. Another thing you can do is make it a habit of drawing big. The bigger you draw the more often you'll use your elbow and shoulder and more often you'll practice good line quality. But with all things in life have patience. Good line quality doesn't happen over night and it take some suffering. It's the same for everyone. Believe me. About your assignment. I think you've done well. Apart from the line quality you're showing the form of the breast, proportion is there, I don't think the boobs are too high on the pecs. You're making a few mistakes in the gesture drawing but I think it's the type of thing that if you draw more you'll get better. So be patient, keep drawing and best regards

Very good submission. The lines are clean, you're using line weight very effectively and even though you're not using cross contours the drawings seem tridimensional. I just have one thing to say that I think you can improve and it's something that I repeat a lot to people drawing breasts (probably because everyone has similar difficulties). Ok. Be aware of the distance where the boob starts and the clavicle. Sometimes I feel you're drawing the breast too high. In your case is very subtle but it's enough to give a feeling that something is not right. Remember that the fat gonna start to grow around the nipple so small to medium breast gonna have most of their volume in the bottom outer part of the pecs. Apart from that you're doing awesomely Keep drawing and best regards

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 :)

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 :)

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 :)

Very nice gesture!

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 :)
