Figure Drawing, fot Critique

[Dominika]

Hi there!

I usually have some troubles with choosing a focal point. In these drawings I just couldn’t help myself and rendered too much everywhere. There are other issues as well. Would you like to take a look and share with me your impressions?

Hey Dominika,

I really like the first drawing, even though a clear focus is missing. It’s just pleasant to look at.

Here are the points I think are worth improving. The forearm across the back seems odd to me. I checked the reference.Your right shoulder is much higher up, that makes the upper arm seem longer and then the forearm seems to short. The feet are too small. Left and right shoulder need more of a line or flow that connects them. The left shoulder neck line just would make for an odd neck. And last, the hands. I know they are hard. If in doubt I always try to wash the hard lines out a bit or put them in a general halfshadow. It is a very nice picture, thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Cora

Hi Cora!

Thank you so much for such a careful look! And, yes, now I can see that. All these proportions. That’s why the head looks so big:) Thank you a lot, I’m going to run through it one more time.

Cheers,

Dominika
