loved doing the trolls, there is a lot of weight to capture in them

Very cool... I would like to see you now draw this character out of your head... that will show what you learned and what you need to work on

breaking the mold is good for you.... how you grow

Nicely done.. Actually Glenn did animate Tarzan but I am unsure he did that one right there. I see some of your notes and its important to realize dont let anatomy draw your drawings , use it as a guide and take artistic liberties as your own. Its only there to keep you on the tracks. Especially when dealing with animation friendly designs the anatomy is present but it never dictates the design choices. I think you need to revisit some of the breakdowns to see how the under structure conveys weight for the final topical image. Try to understand the angle of the pelvis better..etc

Nice but pay attention to volumes and weight. Youre losing some essential form and surface area of the understructure- dont just copy but analyze and problem solve. The pose in each final model conveys weight so the study should do the same.

LOVE that you are breaking your mold. I think you could go a little further to learn even more Nice job on the cave troll- alot of weight but then on Bernie Wrightsons Swamp Thing it becomes a little too ambiguous . Try to simplify from the final look model Each nook and cranny doesnt have to be caught in the breakdown just the objective forms

Nice job on these. Very diagrammatical and clear. I like seeing the flow youre finding too. It does get a little too simple at some points indicating knowledge not fully there but it will come. Good job all around- This will help your personal design work.

Hi...well nice and loose. But you either ran out of time or lost interest. Either is fine but suffer a little bit and you will grow and benefit from this exercise. Finish these off- explore, discover, endure the pain of growth. You have a great loose lively style- I would love to see you finish these to completion.

I think there’s good potential in it, but two things you could consider: - the leg of the figure top right is very human like, now it is difficult to accept that the foot has another structure, with the mid foot joint serving as a heel. Keep it, but try to sell it more convincingly. - the head is quite original and has enough options for conveying moods, but now it is too much a narcissus flower, which ridicules the figure a bit - the figure would be served better by a stronger structure. Maybe a more aggressive plant would be more appropriate.

You did the assignment and thats what counts Youre gaining knowledge too. Good volumes but they lack straights. Introduce more straights to add strength to your work

SOLID work Samuel.. very impressive. This step is really going to help your own work. AND I love you even are implementing some nice form design like on the iliac crest of the Pale Man. Some areas start to lose dimension like on the Frazetta Nightstalker. But cant win them all.

GREATl.. love seeing you push yourself. Design tips- watch the parallels on the arm to leg on your second one. And with foreshortening use line weight to show the spacing and distance. So is hand woiuld be heavier line and his body would be lighter and less detail, Its basically using the camera as a tool to execute the foreshortening.

Good steps for you. Glad you see the value. Sometimes learning this way can be tedious but it helps connect the dots for your overall skill level

SOLID work... Try to implement more straights at the joints. But overall youre approaching this spot on

GREAT.. this is what I hoped to see. I think you need to spend more time on the breakdowns but this is what drawing from your imagination will do. It points out what you need to work on,.

looking good .... You seem to have a good grasp. Go the extra mile and draw from your head now.

Thanks for sharing your drawings! I think drawing #2 ( Frazetta) and drawing #3 (Wrightson) are finding a great rhythm and saying a lot without saying too much. Drawing #4 ( 2nd Frazetta) - Love the dimensionality and force coming from the legs. The redraws from different angles are super fun. I would love to see more of the elements from the over drawings come across in the new drawings.
