Here is my rib cage assignment. Or how you‘d translate it from german: the breast basket (Brustkorb) :)

Very nice studies. Great job with your notes. I noticed that your pelvises tend to not tilt enough forward in these drawings. In back bends specifically, there is going to be a forward tilt in the pelvis to counter balance the backwards movement. I adjusted your first drawing to show how I see the angle of the pelvis, which changes the angle of the ribcage slightly as well. Even when standing straight, there will be that a slight forward tilt. Hope that helps!

Went back to my ribs to fix them all after watching this and Proko's examples, guess I've been doing them a bit longer than what they actually are haha, any feedback is greatly appreciated

Hi here is my assignment for this lesson! I've drawn simplified version of ribcage from different angles as well as more realistic one to memorise the directions of the ribs better for each plane.

Here are my attempts at the first five poses from the rib cage assignment. Any comments on proportions or perspective would be appreciated.

I think I’m starting to understand the bucket and ribcage, breaking it down into more structural volumes like cubes and rectangles is helpful.

Hello, just a quick thing that I've seen almost everyone do when completing this assignment - your lumbar section is too long. I think Stan says it in the critique video, but there should be exactly a fist size gap between the bottom of the ribs and the top of the pelvis, as you can grab that portion of muscle with your hands. Of course there'll be people with slightly longer and shorter gaps, and this only applies if figure is not bending, but that should help you with proportion. Keep it up! - Dwight

@poulpeceleste
This is my first post. I would like to have some feedback on the ribcage I did with the simplified form, I struggled a lot with it so thanks in advance.
