Hello, been a little while since I last posted, finally getting through Anatomy from Term 4, it's very heavy and dense, lots of info. I used the file Marc gave so I just did the arms and legs in that one.

After finishing this exercse I honestly didn't or still don't feel like I learned much, the muscles are much too complicated and I didn't feel like they were presented in an easy way to disgest and understand. I looked up a bunch of muscle charts as well and that was even more confusing, because of how different muscles are represented everywhere.

This exercise helped me settle down the knowledge a little better, there's still a lot of stuff I'm not sure is correct so I would love some feedback here in case I have any mistakes so I don't have to waste Marc's time with this. The brachialis is particularly confusing, the forearm muscles and the band that accompanies the TFL muscle as well.

I hope to upload the rest of the term by next week.

The last assignment that was missing from this term, I'm still not sure if it's correct or not, but whatever I'm deep into Term 5 now and working on a portfolio piece so from this point forward the terms get really important for me.

If anyone could point out the mistakes here that would be sweet, but I know this exercise is a big time investment and not easy at all (for me at least).

I don't know if it was on purpose but you went way too ambitious with your A-shaped block. The "straight" leg is twisted so it is extremely hard to cast a proper shadow for it. In 2 point perspective all vertical lines are straight and your aren't this is why the leg is twisted. The shadow would look something like that:

but it is half-quessed because when I realised the twisted leg it would take so much time to make a correct shadow for it. And use your desk lamp :stuck_out_tongue: you can always cut out a similar shape and check if the shadow seems reasonable.

Yeeah I went a bit too far with such a weird shape, I felt bad when I realized that and asked Marc for feedback on it, bit much. You are right about it being 2PP but the shape not being straight, to be honest I hadn't even realized that and just casted the shadow as if it were a 2PP. What a mess haha

Thanks a lot for your paintover as well, If anyone is curious this is Marc's correction. He straigthened out the legs of the shape as well.
