The biggest thing that sticks out to me is that the pectorals are not attached to the ribs. The main body of the muscles should be following the curvature of the ribcage and in drawing 3 at the bottom, the top of the pec should be more tightly attached to the clavicle. The pec also looks fat on the top and thin on the side. Good job on completing the assignment.

Hi @James Miller, nice studies! You'll learn a lot on your own by cheking out Stan's examples, so I won't go too much into specific tracings, but rather point out some general things to look out for: - Try to show the thickness of the muscles more; at the moment they feel a bit like flat sheets of paper connected to the attachment points. - Study the attachments more. Especially the abdominal origin and the insertion on the humerus. You put the abdominal origin too high at times, and the insertion on the humerus sometimes ends up too high, or too lateral. - Keep an eye out for symmetry between the sides of the chest. In image 5 for example, the distant pectoralis muscle has it's abdominal origin much higher than the close pectoralis. This can be tricky to get right. It helps to draw a guideline that you wrap around the chest to make sure they sit on the same level. If this is something you're unfamiliar with, you might want to complete the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course, before spending a lot of time with anatomy. The concepts taught in that course, like gesture and structure, are crucial for being able to use the anatomical knowledge you learn, in a drawing. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

Great sketches :) I really like strokes and the movement in them and I feel like the little face details in the second sketch adds an extra spark of interest to the drawing itself. I have 3 small critiques (but they are my personal opinion). 1. In the second picture, the placement of the clavicles and acromium process could've been defined a little more, and overall what's happening in the neck area (like you have done in the other sketch). I know the focus are the pecs, but I think it would've made for a more cohesive drawing, that's all :) 2. The angle of the sternum in the second picture looks off and doesn't point towards where the end of the sternum should be with how you've drawn the ribcage. 3. In the first picture, the whole neck area looks like it might be a bit too pushed forward in relation to the angle of the ribcage.

Really cool!
