My current goal is: Improve at correctly capturing the overall proportions of the human form

Aunt Herbert

You make good progress in constructing a foundation from simple forms, and correctly measuring the proportions of the figure.

Your lines are long and elegant, but you still need quite a few attempts until you hit the final line, and you occassionally miss a poportion. (The legs on the upper left figure seem a bit too short compared to the torso. Probably a bit of legs too short AND torso too long. Overestimating the distance between hip and chest is a typical problem, that leads to lengthened torso.)

You know, Shockwave, for your first ever post, you're doing pretty greatest I've seen in terms of your gestures over shapes, silhouettes, and simplest forms from the head to the hips/pelvis. Yet, the flow could have used most of the forceful caricature and cartooniness. Would you like to just go ahead with your first 1 hour class, if you completely and totally haven't already?

As a result, you'll draw your forces the least slowly and the most quickest, roughest and readiest. For most details, please look into the quick sketch exercise in the Shamus Culhane book on PDF right here?

Good luck to your journey.

So your top left figure has some proportion issues, especially around the legs. To my eye the legs look slightly short, and not quite right in relation to each other, and the torso a little long. The ankle joints and angle of the feet seem a little under-examined.

The bottom figure looks quite accurate in it's proportions even though it's in some ways a more complex pose. The back shoulder looks maybe slightly exaggerated in it's height but otherwise it looks great.

Personally I've found that when I draw more complex sitting poses with folded limbs etc my proportions have come out better than a standing pose because it's easier to see the limbs in relation to each other rather than as isolated shapes. That realization has led me to try to pay more attention to negative spaces around the figure in standing poses, and to try to find as many points of relationship in a standing pose as I can (hypothetical example: the model's heel extends just past their buttocks if i examine the imaginary line from one to another, the inside of one knee creates an angle that informs me about the length of the other leg's thigh, etc). Hopefully that makes sense and is helpful in some way.

You have lovely lines and your head shapes are very good also!
