First, well done with the assignment! Lots drawing done! 1. I like that the drawings feel quite 3D, however there are some general proportions problems. Specially with the the width of the rib cage and pelvis. You will work on them in the next two lessons. Then, you can come back and fix your own drawings! 2. For the spine, the bottom part triangle, the sacrum, should not be in the top plane of the pelvis bucked. And it is tilted forward. There is a very nice explanation in the critique video. Don’t have the drawing tablet with me, but if something is not clear i could try to do a pain over in few days. enjoy the holidays break!

Try to print the tracing image, then trace through the printed image.

Hey, I'll try to give some correction to do, even though I am still not that good compare to your works. First problem I found is about the sacral, which most are too small and not actually fitted to the pelvis. Then some figure (Like at the second page, no.2 and 3 figure) feels not 3d enough. I'd also like to add that some figure has no sacral, and I think it is better to draw all of major parts for deeper understanding/retention of what you're drawing. Overall all of it are just a minor mistakes, and just correction for improving your drawing's. One favor if you may also, can you also critique my works? :>

2nd attempt

Spine Assignment : Tracings

Looking good! Be mindful of the connection point of the spine and the pelvis, it should be towards the back edge of the bucket.

Your spine is pretty straight and stiff. You need to make sure the spine curves over the ribcage, then curves up into the skull, and curves into the pelvis. I did a couple of examples to show you what I mean :)

Hey Paco, nice job on these for a beginner. The one thing you need to remember is that the spine is never completely straight. Try to show the "S" curve of the spine when you draw it. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, hope it helps :)

Great job finding the landmarks on these!

Hi @dooby, nice drawings! - I think I would recommend starting with a drawing of the figure, then putting the anatomy within it. Once you have the proportions and volumes of the figure, you can look for landmarks that help you place the skeleton. Study how the spine relates to the larger volumes (for example: the thoracic portion ends where the 12th ribs attach to the spine) It helps to do drawings of the skeleton itself, as you've done with the drawings after skelly, since the skeleton is covered in flesh, so to draw it in detail based on a live model, you'll have to rely on your understanding of it. I did a paintover with some tips. (Human Proportions – Average Figure ) I hope this helps :)
