This lesson focuses on using the fundamentals to draw foreshortening in the figure with convincing depth.

I felt pretty good about this. I worked a bit ahead for most of it and my thought process pretty much tracked with what it was supposed to the whole way. Often time during the video, I would think something, and then you would say it. It's nice to see that all the study between this class and your book has taken hold.

Started this figure on the Step By Step lesson which talked about the shoulder girdle but quickly got into a mess with the foreshortening as shown by my 1st attempt. Skipped forward to this lesson and after doing the exercises I breathed a huge sigh of relief that there was an alternative approach for foreshortened figures and had another go, which was better. The big thing I did wrong was I tried to maintain the asymmetry between the chest and pelvis which doesn’t work on this pose and looks wrong, although Michael somehow always makes it work on every pose!

It's just practice! I've got nothing special except for some years on ya. Just keep at it. You've got great starts going here.
