June Sketchbook Challenge Day 4

Hello, Here is my submission for day 4 of the June Sketchbook challenge. Based on feedback from my previous submission, I wanted to practice figure proportions using head counts. I am really happy with this study, because I was able to self correct and redirect during the process which I am proud of; specifically, I ended up having to redraw the 6.5 heads figure's legs because I miscalculated where the halfway point was. I was just really happy I was able to self diagnose the problem when I knew something was off. I have a couple questions that root from this study. 1. I believe I successfully stuck to the head proportions, but I think I am a bit lost on some of the rules of figure proportions. I understand that the halfway point of the figure is right at the groin, and that the forearms end at the bottom of the ribcage which guided a lot of my self correction. There are some concepts I don't understand quite yet though: I ended up drawing all of the shoulder lines at the same height, should the chin to shoulder distance change when working in a 6.5 head structure compared to an 8 head or 7.5 head structure? 2. Is changing the head count structure how you actually change the height of a character? Or is there a different way that works? 3. This study is all well and good, but how can I go about internalizing this and in addition use this knowledge for drawing in diverse angles? I plan to do one with a female body as well after some feedback. I know this is a lot of convoluted questions, so if there is only one specific question you want to answer that's fine. Thanks so much!

love the proportions but the lines are not the best.

June Sketchbook Challenge Day 5

Hello, Here is my submission for day 5 of the June Sketchbook challenge. I am once again very happy with the result! If you happen to be part of the gaming community and watched a certain presentation today, you might know why I'm drawing some Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 and some Ryu! I am very happy with this sketch, because I realized at the end of the day that I hadn't drawn yet, but I managed to fit this in. I am happy with the posing. I definitely spent more time refining the the largest figure so the other two have poorer line quality. I honestly don't have a specific issue that's bugging me with this piece, but I know it's lacking in fundamentals in areas like anatomy and probably more. So I'll let whatever jumps out at you be the subject for feedback, Thank you!

Probably spent too long on this sketch which i`ll soon colour and render.

proportions

guys so i drew up this male and female proportions chart to test my knowledge. As you can see, everything is jotted down on the right, so please feel free to correct mistakes (if you can get past my abyssmal handwriting hehehe)! Also, if there are just general anatomy issues, let me know!

any critiques welcome (pls critique i wanna get better

Stylized characters

Still in the rough phase, but fixed some of the most obvious proportion mistakes. Still looking for feedback about proportions, particularly in the three-quarter view where the whole skull still feels off.
