Demon's Critique Collection

Man you have improved James.

As an awful apology for replying to your message a literal half year later, I thought I'd leave a comment here before anywhere else and try to help you out.

Your hand drawings are amazing, far better than any hand drawings I could have done. But your general body anatomy doesn't match the technical beauty your hand drawings have. In the post without armor for example, her but is huge! I see that it would stick out in a pose like that, but it gives the impression that even if she stood up straight it would still be huge. I'm all for big booty girls, but not if their anatomy is actually incorrect! XD

In addition, I think the leg farthest from us is longer than the closer leg. Looking at the armored figure, the design is great. I can't fault it. But the left arm looks bent in a way that makes me think the elbow is dislocated, and the way the shoulders connect to the neck is slightly off. I think it's that the neck is just a little too short.

That said, I love your figure sketching in general, it's full of life!

I'm curious to know if you're copying these reference out of a book, or getting any old reference and drawing the muscles instead.

[Demonfyre]

I am using a combination of real life photos, models at life drawing and drawings from the old masters as reference c:
As for the muscles, I got a series of lectures on placements and how they join to the bony masses etc, but I generally like to keep a book like 'Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy' and Eliot Goldfinger's Anatomy to make sure I get the muscles in their locations when i'm unsure c:

I notice I tend to overemphasize the deltoid :/
