Hey I was wondering if anyone could critique my images. It was a little difficult doing the seated one but I tried my best.
Filippo Galli
I tried to exaggerate this pose. Well, perhaps I actually changed it a slight bit since you can't really tell if I exaggerated the tilt, lean or both.. Oops. In any case, onto the next chapter we go.
Patrick Bosworth
Nice work! I think you did a nice job finding the landmarks and exaggerating the pose. Something to watch out for is keeping your figures balanced. Your figure looks like it's about to fall over. If you keep the center mass of the body evenly distributed over the feet your figure more clearly shows the exaggerated lean you were going for. Hope this helps, keep up the good work!

Some drawings I did after the critiques video.

Can’t see your gesture and primary structure form (robo bean) lines. Suggest you follow the process of gesture first, primary forms to establish perspective and key landmarks. Than stop and measure and correct the forms for height length and width before starting the “ manequization” process. Measure first if you ae after a high degree of realism. B.

Figure drawings and trying to visualize the vertical, horizontal and diagonal line using boney landmark. I also apply this on the gestures warmups I hope I can get some feedbacks and critiques on these.. Thank you

The first work turned in by Sam that didn't get critiqued was so beautiful 💞

Hi.  Really fun exercise and help me to understand so much better whats under each figure, I still need to try some reference from the back. Any critique is apreciated.

great drawings! I have two thoughts if I may. To echo stan, it's helpful to create a rhythm between landmarks to ensure we've captured the gesture and for a proportional double-check. I see that you've identified the landmarks but you haven't indicated a relationship between them. for example the ASIS can be one rhythm to indicate the tilt of the entire pelvis. secondly, I think where you're marking the ASIS points is actually the top of the iliac crest. The ASIS is more anterior and at a lower point. I don't think this matters too too much, you can easily create a rhythm from the iliac crest points instead. correct me if I'm incorrect in my assessment anyone

Here are some of my landmark attempts. I had a lot of trouble with scapulas on the second one in particular.

Hi, here is my take on landmarks after watching the critique

These look great!

First try advice and critique appreciated! Secound refrence from Marcus Ranum.

Nice try on these. I can definitely say the the left scapular is incorrect for for your first image. When the arm is up like that, the scapular is very flared out. see below (reference, proko)

Hi, I would like to share some of excercises I did for this topic; I would be grateful for any feedback; thank you so much
Gian Amir Calibuso
I really had fun in Landmarks lesson, since I thought at first that I won't be able to do this because it now requires a real human body to use as a reference that has alot of bumps, curves etc that some of it I don't understand, which made me search alot of reference online (Pinterest) and some trial and errors before I could draw some of my assignments XD

Compiling all my landmarks from reference, they should be in the order in which I worked, I'm pretty happy with the last two, but I'm sure I'm not quite hitting the mark on some of the angles of the landmarks or their underlying forms, I find the areas around the hips particularly challenging. Also while not part of the goal of this lesson, my line quality is a little shoddy at the moment.

Here are my studies of today. Adding structure and landmarks ain't that easy. Critique would be appreciated.

Hey Ari, first of all thanks. I use the References from Proko. I think i got them part of a sale. And when I get bored/used to the models I go to quickposes.com

They look really cool. I don't know what to tell you to improve! (one question, where do you get the references from?)
Denitsa Dineva
Hi, this is my first comment on this course and I would appreciate a lot if I get some feedback. I did some gesture drawings too based on the previous lessons, but they turned to be very lightly and don't see well. Anyway, I do practice a lot if someone wonders.

Here are the assignments for landmarks. Last image is my own attempt from fresh references. Not sure if they're entirely correct, so I'd love some feedback.

Hi there, good work on these! In the last two poses, there are a few things I’d like to focus on. 1st pose (last page): the scapula should be rotating upwards rather than sitting in the neutral position. You can see the endpoints where the muscles dip into the skin outlining the trapezius muscle. It’s a little harder to see the bottom end of the scapula because of the teres major that’s covering it, but since the scapula is rotating upward, the bottom end of each scapula should end up closer to the outside of the body. 2nd pose (last page): the gesture in this one is a little stiff. You’ll want to make sure the gesture of the front of the body is arcing a little bit outward rather than collapsing into itself.

It seems people rarely get feedback here in the comments, but I'm still gonna post my results. Hope someone will point out more mistakes. I enjoyed this part of the course the most so far. Though I haven't yet taken the anatomy one, so I didn't indicate that many muscles, especially in the back. I also struggled with the shape of the gluteus in most of these figures, just couldn't really see that "donut". Thanks in advance for any critique, I really hope I get it.

These are great! One thing I did notice is the lower legs seem to all to be a bit too long compared to the photos.

@onegogol There is a red “asked for help” tag you can mark your post, which may get more feedback from other students/ community members. As for some feedback from an initial gut reaction, these look really really good. As i don’t know your process, i’m not clear if the process was freehand or like digital anatomical tracing exercises from Anatomy course. If it was using any digital tracing overlays, then maybe next challenge could be drawing invented poses freehand using the landmarks you’ve identified so well. Appears you are more than ready to try challenge of taking a few of these same models and draw inventing a variation like what happens with that same character next in a scene. If i had to give one area to focus on Anatomy landmark wise i notice the calf muscles - gastrocnemius and soleus don’t appear to be well defined, and the graceful gesture of the front of lower leg of the c curve landmark that dominates front of tibia feels like it could be more present… almost like lower leg is bit too oversimplified/ too skinny. Overall, Very good landmark studies! I hope that helps.

i am sorry for the messy lines and paper, it’s so difficult 😥.

Hi! This is my first post, was hoping to get some comments or critique on these landmark studies. Thanks!

I apologize for the poor quality. #1-4 are drawing alongside Stan. #5 is my own study. I notice now some errors such as the left (viewer's right) breast being too high compared to the other. I also don't believe I captured the clavicles correctly. I only have one drawing because I have to go to sleep soon. I will do more landmark studies tomorrow to solidify my knowledge better. Anyways, is the patella on the left leg in position 1 or 2? Or some other position? Critiques are super appreciated. Thanks.
