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.

Critiques of students' drawings based on the landmarks lesson.
Adding the last few drawings I did before moving on to the next section. I like how the forshortening turned out on some of them. The second to last one is a bit wonky. Any critique is appreciated.
Followed the step by step and did it with some reference. No idea if I did good and I don't know how to do it when the reference was facing forward.
Please I need some urgent critiques, I find it hard drawing the landmarks sideways. I really want to learn this because I want to go into comic making
Hey I was wondering if anyone could critique my images. It was a little difficult doing the seated one but I tried my best.
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.

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!
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
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.
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
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?)
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.
