Hi Beth,

What I was wondering is if adding more tone to the eyes and around the eyes would kind of push them back and soften the look… and maybe bring out the highlight.

Also, referencing the “head drawing for beginners” course, rather than drawing all the teeth, “suggest” the pattern of them and let the viewer fill the rest in.

Pretty sure the teeth comment is relevant.

Nice top / jacket.

Hope this helps.

 

Regards, Bob.

Hi,

Thank you for the comments about my figure drawing. There are so many aspects to it such can become overwhelming, so nice to be given structure by these very organised lessons. I did post a comment here previously which seems to have disappeared into the ether.

It was regarding your drawing of the male back and your comment about revisiting the drawing. The drawing looks to be like a very similar pose to one in Glenn Vilppu’s gesture course, lesson number twelve where he draws the male back in sanguine. I thought this might help as in this lesson he talks about the anatomy of the back and connectivity. The link is below.

wow… in depth! Just thought i’d have a look at what you are up to… I’m planning on doing a 100 day art challenge, it was going to be 100 figures, but I draw figures every day any way… so where is the challenge? Guess it will have to be anatomy now. Side tracked.

The shoulders are certainly very complex. Wondered what gem of wisdom one could offer… then I saw your revisiting comment regarding the drawing of the back and shoulders. May I suggest doing a draw through with Glen Vilpuu where he draws the male back.

It is one of the lessons where he talks about muscle structure and connectivity… the drawing is from a very similar angle.

Nice work.

Thank you Beth,
I have started the gesture drawing course with Mr Vilppu. The figure drawing course with Steve Huston is also beginner friendly and fun. I think it’s nice how they drop in little nuggets of anatomy along the way. The Russian stuff seems a long way away at the moment, for me. Might have a look at Rey’s anatomy.

Thank you both for your comments. One will endevour to create something more three dimensional and post again. the construction drawing will be most useful. Boxes, cylinders and spheres.

Regards, Bob
