To get good at anatomy, you have to practice. You can get feedback on your drawings from the Discussions. So, here’s your assignment for this lesson.

Part 1 is to do quicksketch drawings from model photos. Try to find a variety of bending, twisting, flexed, or relaxed poses where the obliques are clearly visible. You can get a free model sampler pack by subscribing to the Proko Newsletter. I also have a lot of model photos available at here.

Part 2 is drawing obliques over Skelly. Using the Skelly app, you can pose Skelly however you want. Save the pose to your pose library and export the image. I’ll post some assignment examples in the next video.

Some drawings based of the assignment while using the references from proko and other ones. The reason why they are no serratus muscles is be a because was focusing on the obliques.

I don't have much time to practice normally, but how is this?

And here's my submission for these obliques assignments I colored the obliques in the first part, and omitted shading in the second part

Hey Mike, I think you are trying to draw details too early, as a result your drawings are lacking structure and a 3D quality. I did a quick sketch over your first figure to show you how we build the body out of 3D shapes first, then add our anatomy and details. Study what I did and try it on your next drawing. I hope this helps :)

I think it's great, I would just recommand more smoothness and suppleness

Wow, maybe I should've watched this video before I did assignment 2. Maybe it doesn't matter. I don't know.

Hi @Kimi, really nice studies! - In the top row drawings, did you start by first sketching in the major form of the obliques, before adding the digits? I feel like it got a little lost in the detail. When adding details, such as digits, try to use them to clarify to major forms. - You've drawn a bump at the outside bottom corner of the pecs that I don't recognize. Is it the lower digit of the abdominal portion? If so, I think what makes it look strange is that it is overlapping the part above it. I think it should be overlapped by it. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
