That book looks amazing! I have yet to buy it, but it is on list to buy. You might want try using it to draw a skeleton through one of these models but it will take a bit of time. You can get a pretty good idea of what my book suggestions look like on Instagram.

Hello, This is a wonderful start! Your proportions come naturally to you. A heavy understanding of anatomy is only needed if your goal is to draw figures from imagination. It’s possible that the book you have is too far above your ability level, hence you will not get much out of it. The best thing you can study is bones and stenography (the study of shapes). I recommend the book “basic human anatomy” by Roberto Osti. I posted 2 pages of his book in my sketch book for someone else. The Glenn vilppu drawing manual is great for learning how to shade in your shapes. I use taco point character drawing for learning to draw from memory but it is a great beginner book. It’s anime based, it’s the one that is split in 2 books. You can check that out on Instagram taco1704. What books are you trying to learn from?

Wow these are gorgeous! What is your next goal? are you going to try to work from memory? My goal are to work like Kim jung Gi rip. And it looks like you are one step ahead of me.

The lines are nice and complete, for the most part there are no scratchy lines. If you need to get back to basics, I recommend draw a box .com it’s completely free. It’s a different approach from what I was taught in school but I completely believe in it. If you are interested in drawing from memory I recommend going on Instagram and copying the work of atelier.morpho thedrdraw tomfoxdraws and taco1704.

These are lovely! This is very effective practice with the loose inclusion of shadow mapping. Your next step might be anatomy practice. I am looking at particularly your ankles. The proportions are nice but you don’t want loose work to become lazy. I recemend a book morpho anatomy for artists about 22$ or you can go on the you tube channel “the drawing database” for a college level course for free. I am currently doing it myself.

Hello, I am a “painting Vr” resident myself. There is also one called brushwork completely free

Your hands are great! Proportions look solid. Every line is neat and tidy, just the way I like to draw. The weakest part of your work is your face. I recommend spending more time with a skull to learn proportions, also pay attention to your guide lines you use for the eyes. As the move back into space they will always shrink even if it’s only a little bit. Good work, you are on your way
