Realy nice!

Hi @Devon D. Yeider, cool studies! In your next drawings, I would try two things: 1. Pay closer attention to angles. This could be the angle of a body part, or the angle between two parts/points. When you establish an angle, compare it with the other angles you have. In the bottom drawing for example, there is a certain angle between the feet. The angle between the hands was probably the same in the reference, signaling that they are planted on the same plane in a neutral pose. In your drawing, the angle between the hands is different from the angle between the feet, suggesting that the furthest arm is brought forward, or that the hands are resting on a plane angling down away from us. 2. Establish the major shapes before adding details. Putting a little extra effort into making the foundation solid will bring up the whole drawing and make adding the details more enjoyable. i would suggest this process: - A loose sketch focusing on capturing the expression/gesture of the body. - Establishing the major shapes on top of that; trying to make a desicive design. Think about what you want the shapes to express. It will probably to capture the gesture, the volume and likeness (characteristic shapes where each edge has a clear function --> plane break for example)), that you see in the photo, but you could also redesign things in a way that they don't match the photo, but expresses something that you want to communicate. In this stage you want to maintain or enhance the expression that you had in the inital sketch, while at the same time get the structure and proportions. It's pretty tricky :) Here's some Glen Keane inspo .https://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/508/2740/1600/ariel04.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d3/2f/2b/d32f2b90e51ff3747b03d114e5abecf1.jpg https://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1250/2135/1600/page5.png - Then add the details. Be desicive here too. Every line you put down communicates something. I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions!

Great studies. Your volumes and flow seem good to me. I think you should try to draw it from imagination from different angles to put your understanding to the test. You should also try to draw the skeleton with different poses from imagination. Hope this helps:)

Very beautyful drawings. I think you already have a good understanding of volume. I do think that it would help you to focus less on the details. To get more out of this lesson group I would recommend to first capture the overall pose by drawing a few gestural bendy lines that flow into each other and than add some simplyfied volumes on top of it. And once you have done a few of such studies you could try to pose the skeleton from imagination. Hope this helps.

Good drawing! I like how loose you are, and I think your overall proportions are quite strong as well. I think you should do a few more studys from different angles, while focussing on the volumes. Try to consider all the planes of each volume to make it more 3d. Hope this helps, and keep at it!

Wow this looks great!

Very good drawings. I think you have good proportions, a balanced use of straights and curves and some understanding of the 3d form. I think you should try to draw some skeletons from imagination from a different angle. And you could also try to draw skeletons in a few different poses from imagination. This is a great way to find out how good your understanding of the flow of the bones and their 3d volumes really is. Hope this is helpful.

Good drawings! I think your proportions are quite good, and i like that you tried some poses. You should definitly continue doing these. I think it would really benefit you to focus on the threedimensional volumes. Try to come up with some simplified forms for the ribcage and other bones. You need to be able to draw these volumes from imagination/memory in different angles. When you draw your videofootage/life-drawings you should start to become aware of these volumes (with the ribcage probalbly beeing the first one.)

Haha, thanks for catching that! We'll fix that typo asap! But now I want to see someone make a truly terrifying CHINpanzee creature.

Nice poses, the right one really has character. The two on the left could use some extra feeling of gravity, since this big muscular body is leaning quite heavily on the arms, I guess.
