Love the bird's eye view (quite literally ) from the drawing. Great work!

[francydah2005]

thanks! it's a study from a really cool background i found on pinterest

Love the environment piece.. Really great work!

here's today's work

[francydah2005]

hey guys,I definitely need help on anatomy: there's something that's deeply unesthethic about my female character and i feel like i'm making some mistakes in the anatomy part, i mean, the muscles of the leg anatomy exercise are looking like a pair of pants. the characters are from reference.

Good work! I'm not 100% on muscle anatomy but those but cheeks look too big. Alot of the butt is a jiggly cushion of fat. Plus on the left figure's left leg (viewers left) the main bulge of the inner part of the calf should be slightly higher than the bulge of the outer calf.

[francydah2005]

Oh yeah you're right. I'll fix this as I'll do the next exercises

[francydah2005]

today I i traced some bodies i really liked from pinterest and then tried to spot every error i could on yesterday's exercise, using the tracing as reference. after this i tried coping 2 more characters from fighting games, applying the changes. I would love a feedback to understand if i'm going the right way

[francydah2005]

i think I fixed the legs

[francydah2005]

today I couldn't do much because I spent a lot of time giving a feedback in the discord server. anyway here's today exercises

[francydah2005]

hi guys, today i did exercise 2 of anatomy where you have to build a body from scratch. I haven't used reference so I'm also looking for feedbacks on the pose. it took 2 hours to make this but i'm pretty proud of how it turned out. I also played a little with exercise 3, where you have to tweak muscles a bit and basically see how they impact the character.

looking for feedbacks on the pose

noice, on the pose i feel like it's just a tad bit unbalanced, as if she's about to fall, i could be wrong tho, either way good stuff!

[francydah2005]

Thanks, I think you're right: now that I rewatch it it actually look like she's falling

Hello, I need to apologise, what I said before regard ing the calfs was incorrect. - Its the other way around - the outer calf is higher than the innner calf. It creates a rythm down the leg like this:

That's good anatomy, id say your figures are quite "tight" though. After doing the gestures, zoom in some and use a thinner brush, and longer controlled strokes.

[francydah2005]

Oh ok, thanks for the feedback, I'll try to implement it later

[francydah2005]

ok, today i did the exercise where you had to turn someone you know into a superhero and a body from scratch. as the last time for the second exercise i haven't used reference so i'm taking feedbacks on the pose too

[Gordon003]

Lots of anatomical detail which i don't know at the moment. LMAO.

But I do know about centre of gravity and I feel that second pose is a bit uneven as the character is putting a lot of her weight on one side which eventually leads her to fall down! Central of Gravity is normally a straight line between character's both feet and a character is balanced if there's equal weight distribution between the line.

So for this example, to be even she can:

• Tilt her torso the other side (opposite)
• Have a standing leg further away from the centre to offset the uneven weight distribution

Have you tried looking at contrapposto? Maybe that can helps you draw pose from imagination.
