Peter's Sketchbook

[Peter]

My biggest concern is the porportion.I think you might be suffering from impatience and visual measuring problem.I can see some corner being cut.For example try to observe how you over simply the leg by indicating the bone instead of actually looking at the silhouette.My advise would be to create a solid shape first and than build on it.I know you probably limit your time on those so it understandable that you rush toward a finish but remember that a solid base will probably accelerate you more than any rendering would ever.

One problem i see and that a recuring problem i see in other artist is that we unconsciously show more of the side of the face away from us when doing view of the head that not a profile or full on view.

I hope you find this critic to be of any use.

Thanks for the crit it's much appreciated :)

As you said I do limit myself on these drawings, usually between 2.5-3.5 hours to try and mimic how much time students at the physical school would have. I have been trying to draw the silhouette more with my figure drawings, tired it on the last drawing actually and I think it helped me with the upper part of the figure but not so much with the legs since I don't really know the anatomy or construction all that well.

Yh I was unsure about the face, I drew it how it looked in the ref but it just looked so weird to me, just didn't look right to me haha. In the end I decided to invent the left side, wasn't sure if it was the right choice or not.....maybe not.
