Assignment

Your assignment is to do more shaded studies of the forms, like last time. I’ve provided 2 photos in the description below.

find it challenging identifying and shading the lower leg muscles, since they are so narrow and squished

These are amazing anatomy studies! The shadows on the calf might be a bit sharp, but that’s all. The sharp edges look perfect on the knees and ankles, but you want to keep the muscles softer than the bones. I hope this is helpful. Keep it up :)

2024/1/15. Good morning everybody. Here's a diagram of the (it was supposed to be) lower legs muscles. Sorry for the awful condition of the newsprint but I dropped the board I was drawing on and the paper got torn. Thanks and have a fantastic week!

Lower leg assignment again

I just did the lower leg muscle assignment. I've been doing the anatomy course off and on for about two (?) years now. I'm also in drawing fundamentals, so I sure hope that I'll get a better understanding of shading so that I can do these anatomy assignments a little better. I tried to make a simpler DYNAMIC SHAPE drawing of the second assignment, hoping that it would make shading easier. I don't think it helped.

Hello, I am finally reaching the last lessons, and I am very pleased with the Course... nevertheless, I can't find anywhere the e-book for the lower leg and the feet lessons... It is a failure / mistake that happens only to me? Or really it is so that the last two lessons are the ones incomplete without the corresponding e-book? I found found very helpful so far the e-books. Thank you

Hey! Sorry about that. We released the Foot ebook recently and the lower leg ebook is really close to being done. I'm really glad you find the ebooks helpful too!

In the study 1.1 I tried my best to analyze what I was going to draw but it was too complicated for me so I design to copy picture of lower leg from the cover of the demo video and when I tries my second attempt in 1.2 after watching the demo, I still couldn't figure it out what to draw so I just designed what was supposed to be based on the info I got in the demo video. In the study 2.1 the similar situation happened with me again. Any critique is welcome!

Haha! That's so funny, couldn't help but laugh 🤪 The anatomy looks pretty accurate! And I like how you treated the distant leg. - I would try to consider the muscle groups more. The front of the upper leg of the first drawing feels a little unorganized. Try to first accentuate the group, then the individual muscles. - The tibialis anterior might be a bit thick in the first drawing. - The leg might be a bit thick in the second drawing. You might also want to tone down the bumpiness. - It might be useful to follow the process I suggested in this critique https://www.proko.com/s/Nsfi. Gesture, major forms, then anatomy. - In the second drawing, the messiness in the shade makes the value read less clearly I think. Aim at making it more clean👍 Hope this helps :)

You clarify the 3D structure well with your shading. The forms you wanted to show are quite clear to me as a viewer. Nice!

Your shading is so smooth and the structure reads well. Gj :)

exercises done . in the first exercise I pushed the gesture a little too much, but decided to go with it anyway because I wanted to know, how to push the gesture without breaking the landmarks?

Same as before, I didn't use tone do to this assignment, but as I said, I will try to do better next time !

Here is my best shot. Any and all critique is welcome. It felt awkward trying to do this assignment without knowing feet yet. I didn't want to focus too much on a subject that I hadn't got to yet, except for the bones. I also feel like I'm getting distracted by shading in these studies as that's fairly new to me.
