compositionally speaking the wangan midnight pic has good framing. the other ones have some perspective issues.

i'll go ahead and link this resource here as well since i like it so much. you might find some useful stuff here. there are also a lot of amazing tutorials on deviantart , as well as many bad ones, but it's a good place to look also http://learninganatomy.tumblr.com/

the drawing you redid is slighty better now. you got rid of that bedpost on the left which is good (it was distracting) but its still pretty much the same other than that.
next time you wanna make a drawing like that i suggest you learn to make tiny thumbnails first to get the composition right. same goes for that last drawing. making thumbnails forces you to focus on the whole picture first so you wont get lost in the details

just google 'composition thumbnails' to see what im talking about. e-z

same for the second picture. i mean, his upper body detail is nice and all, but the shapes are all wonky! the proportions are off as well and he looks flat.

easy to remember tip for life drawing: forget what you 'know' about human anatomy. just draw what you SEE. good luck dude keep at it

bookmarked.

yeah, the wangan pic is probably the most ambitious thing i've attempted so far, and i feel like i've learned a bit from it- but i'm not too happy about how much time i spent on the damn thing.

you're absolutely right, this version settled a bit more on details, rather than the composition. i'm surprised i didn't get the hint sooner by just looking at the characters and their positioning, alongside the fence.

for the life drawing- i see what you mean, yeah. i guess for his figure, i fell into that slump of trying to draw him as a cartoon with muscles, rather than just raw human figure. i've been to only one life drawing class so far- so there's plenty of time to adapt to new things. i'll most definitely use your suggestion for future classes, i never thought of that before.

hey it's been a whole 3 days so i guess i'll drop off what i've been doing

redid this picture (the original one is about 3 months old)

why does her buttcheek merge into his leg

[BluPhoenix]

it only appears that way because her crotch was surgically heightened when she was a wee gal

the 2nd one and last one are a lot better than the others. whatever you're doing there you should keep doing it. i am assuming it is reference from life. you can learn a lot from continuing to do this . my suggestion is also to use the eraser and get rid of a lot of the extra lines you have . you can carve out shapes using the eraser as well. think of it as a brush that paints white.

like in this area right here
there's a lot of marks that don't have to be there.

mainly i think your biggest issue is the overall construction of the anatomy. things don't quite match up right, you've got body parts that aren't joined correctly that differ too much in size. individually they work, but in context of the entire body they don't. a  good way to avoid this is to learn how to gesture a body with basic skeletal construction before going into the full body poses you are doing. especially ones with clothing , i don't think you're at a technical level yet where you're ready to tackle cloth. basically you are skipping a few steps somewhere along the line and it's hurting your anatomy a lot.

you need to do more pics like your 1st one , but with more attention to detail and really learning how the body is constructed. you can also benefit a lot from doing things like studies of certain body parts on their own, like heads, faces, hands, etc.

here are some good resources to get you started:

well, there were plenty of lines on her body prior to its current state. not trying to be defensive, but i'm just saying those lines are there because the picture isn't finished. i've been using the eraser like that to edge out all of the earlier and excessive lines on her torso and arms.

i've done plenty of works with skeletons for a while in both life drawing and the 'drawing human figure in motion' class, i can't really be bothered to upload any of the others until probably tomorrow (i'm tired, and my scanner wakes up the whole house) they're predominantly gestural, however.

but you're right, i do tend to get caught up in the heat of the moment and forget to make the skeletal form first, which is kind of silly, because even way back when my drawings looked marginally worse, it was often the first step i would take (probably because it was the easiest and most forgiving)

and thank you, i'll make sure to utilize those resources in the future
