Very nice!

I did another forearm study, but this time from one of my own references. I thiiiinnnk I've put the muscles in the right place (reference included), but if anyone spots any mistakes, please do let me know. Thanks guys.

Hi @Peter Tinkler, nice study! - In your drawing the anconeus attaches to the ulna, at the lower 1/4 of the width of the arm. But in the photo it's top 1/3 (assuming you didn't change it by intent). - When I trace the photo with Richer's plates as reference, I get slightly different shapes. Compared to the photo your shapes are a little wilder and more full. Just wanted to make you aware if this is unintended. - Try to look more closely for variation and try to get that in your drawing. You tend to repeat similar type of lines; in the upper arm you have the same curve repeating. Take it as a challenge to make every new line different from the ones you have put down. you could play with lenght, how bent the line is, where the peak of the curve is etc. Apart from making the design more dynamic you'll also learn to see more of the variety that nature offers. I hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!

This was tricky (which is an understatement). I had to refer back to the notes a few times, but that's all part of the process. I definitely want/need to do a couple more forearm studies...

This was a 15-20 min drawing focusing on me understanding the anatomy a bit better. I lost some information in the shadows however. Im so impatient I find it hard to tje my time with it

Najs! - The forearm looks a little long - The arm feels a little straight and stiff. Note how in the reference, the structure sits on top of a curving rhythm. In your drawings you probably want straight lines for structure, but also curved ones for flow. So it's a balance. Cheers!

I kept this one rough sketch like the others. Beautiful shading on Stan's demo. I will circle back and try to render these more in the future...after I learn to get the basic forms and shapes dialed in.

Wow, really nice! - I think I would take a closer look at the ridge group area. I think there is room for some nuance of the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis and extensor digitorum, and I think the extensor carpi radialis longus could be placed a little higher. I did a tracing of the reference, though take it with a grain of salt; I'm not 100% sure it's accurate, but it's how I would do it. Hope this helps :)

Nice!

Every time when I think it’s enough I see something else that needs work on this. But here’s what I have so far for assignment 7 of this chapter.

Great demo!

2021/11/23. Good afternoon everybody. I post my latest work here but I want to clarify that from the beginning I did not think of it as an anatomy study. Rather, it is meant to be a rendering exercise. Thank you and good day.
