Are you familiar with the bargue drawing method of measuring with a string to get accurate lines and angles? Do more measuring until your eye improves. Then you wont have to do as much measuring. Thats just how it works. I dont see the point of asking people to crit your study. You have the reference. You can look at it and compare where you were not accurate. Its an important skill to be able to problem solve on your own. Where outside input comes in handy is when you're working on personal work that you dont have a reference to compare whats incorrect or figure out if the composition is working. Sorry if thats not what you want to hear.
Thanks dude, it's all g. The string thing is a good method, I 'partially' did that by drawing triangles with the line tool in photoshop over the ref to get a sense of the angles I would use. I didn't transfer them directly to the reiterated image though, because that would defeat the purpose of training my eye. The reason I post here is because there was another thread on Polycount by a guy who was getting a lot of things wrong, but he was getting a lot of good advice from skilled professionals because of it. I guess I'll chalk it up to a modified version of cunningham's law. If I'm doing something right enough that nobody can crit, well that's good I guess, but really I'm trying to fish for as much new information as I possibly can.
