Hi Mattias,
I think you might already have the answer in your own work on how to improve the volumetric readability (is that a word 😅)
If you for example compare the top left gesture done with the brush pen with the red one on the bottom left I think you can already find what you are looking for.
I personally don’t mind the more roundish feeling you got in your gestures until this point but the way you made the corners of the rib cage, obliques/pelvis and knee more sharp than round gives the mentioned red gesture a more structural look where you can better differentiate between front and side plane.
So I think it’s not much you are missing and you’re close to your intended look.
Your Bridgeman studies look also really good but be careful being that angular while drawing a more subtle female model. I would maybe try to incorporate those techniques only in areas of landmarks which help to solidify the spatial orientation of the masses and keep everything else more soft. But it could also just be the proportions of the shoulders and legs compared to the waist that confuse me because they look female to me but like bodybuilding females 😅👋
Edit: Oh almost forgot: Yes you did answer my question, thank you and it’s definitely an interesting topic 👋

November 22, 2020 at 12:37 am #937868Thanks Christoper!! 🙏Your thoughts are greatly appreciated, quite good. I just know there are some areas on which my grasp of 3D structure are definitely lacking, but all with work.

November 22, 2020 at 12:43 am #937883Day 70: it’s too late so I gotta make this short but I was running low on motivation today unfortunately. These are some studies from lane draws on insta, sorry I didn’t check his name, but I’m sure you’ve seen his work, totally excellent. But I’m not too happy with these re creations, studies. Just wasn’t flowing, and the depth of these drawings is far beyond me.
November 23, 2020 at 12:25 am #941942Day 71: kind took it easy today, had some fun. Drew some Star Wars, yeeeessss. Lol. These poses are somewhere between 1-4 minutes I think. I did some more of Steve’s anatomy class, I really want to stick with this one, i think it could be super huge for me. I got a few things going so that’s good, hopefully we can get a good start to the week tomorrow!
November 24, 2020 at 12:23 am #946980Day 72: don’t know where the time goes. I worked a bit more on some perspective stuff, it’s pretty rough but here’s some. Don’t know why I just kinda fumbled about, here’s some drawing from Instagram, highly respect these instructors, I thought these drawings were fantastic so I attempted to study them a bit quickly, some misses lol. Some of these stomachs are wayyy to long, broke it haha.
November 24, 2020 at 12:53 am #947126We can see your progression trough those days, well done !! Seems that your lines are way more accurate and natural to give volume. Keep it this way, it’s inspiring !
November 25, 2020 at 12:10 am #952071Thanks Meije! I appreciate it, it’s encouraging to hear!
November 25, 2020 at 12:20 am #952072Day 73: didn’t get to draw tonight, so that’s unfortunate, just got some figure practice in, and boxes. Same issues as yesterday… this is pretty generic, very rough, not too proud of it, just exercises practically. And the yellow pen is… something new? Lol. Those first drawings with it are pretty rough in parts, that leg, actually all the legs, long torso. These are 1,2,5 ish mins. Just frustrating when it feels like you never can get past the warmup, draw something your somewhat happy with!

It was on light and shadow, so I’m working on giving it a shot lol. The pencil on top of the sloppy pen is quite 😬😬. The drawings on the first two pages are from Andriy Vynogradov, my drawings are very crude just trying to warm up, but he is an absolutely excellent figure drawer! Wow! All those highly dynamic and form emphasizing light and shadow patterns are like pure magic to me, not a clue how that happens! In time and study.
i gotta try and do more focused faces with the pen.November 29, 2020 at 12:29 am #961460November 30, 2020 at 12:35 am #965990Day 78: just having fun, loose figure sketching, the usual. the first three pages are loose studies of Joshua Jacobo’s Instagram drawings, master study right there! And the last in pencil is Will Weston, outstanding draftsmenship!!

December 1, 2020 at 12:18 am #971221Day 79: exciting drawing new things!! Not experienced with hands on their own or animals, but it was pretty fun!
especially since it’s my hand! Some turned out kinda cool. There really is something added when it’s a real thing right in front of you. Need to draw and draw people in around more!! Get outta the house! Eventually.and foxes are fantastic. I’ve gotten lost adding pins to my animal Pinterest board lol. More to come. I don’t know anything bout animal anatomy at all, except for the rib cage lol! Definitely want and need to learn basic quadruped anatomy/construction, I’m basically just winging it. I’m sure you can tell lol. Gesture and structure can get you pretty far, though I have definitely taken my fair share of liberties.
gotta keep mixing it up, trying new things. Really thinking about gesture and structure the same way on a figure or a hand, animal, tree, or Star Wars alien!
