So I deleted the last post in an effort to be more concise. I wanted to ask why you pick the bright colours on dark bg to do these studies with? Now that your figures are starting to have shadow shapes added, I feel using dark lines on lighter background would be much more useful as you (I assume) begin to build up to more tonal drawings?
Another few questions. Why so much repetition of some of these single figure poses? Is there a specific process or guidance you are following here? I see line of action studies which are one first step, but then just linear contour drawing copies of often, the same pose over and over. Do you ever attempt to keep correcting a single drawing until it is more correct, or do you just start a new drawing every time? How long do you spend on these? Do you vary the time? What's your primary goal with these figure studies, is it to draw what you see accurately, or maybe to understand the human figure? It can be both ofc, but often these require different approaches to be learned best.
It appears you are trying to gain more accuracy to the specific references by linear outlining of form, than analysing of the form itself, perhaps. Also I can see you are checking accuracy against the ref after the fact, which is good, but then, what do you do to solve these inaccuracies as they arise in the next drawing? Do you attempt to measure and check during each drawing or only check and measure more specifically once a drawing is done?
