Hey Olooriel!
So good to see you still workin' hard :D
Hmm, when you are drawing a figure, are you thinking of the underlying structure first? It kind of looks like you're just drawing the contour, or outside of the shapes.
I found it really really helpful to try and visualise and then mark down where I see joints connecting/bone length, etc - after I've completed my gesture for the figure. You're trying to build a 3D form on a 2D surface after all and structure = everything for this to really work.
I also found that this sort of exercise work especially well with larger models, because it's more difficult to determine bone structure and muscle structure, therefore, if these issues aren't addressed earlier on in the drawing, these body types will not look as if they have that certain *weight* about them.
If you get me?
Anyway, I hope you found this helpful in some way and that it's not just rambly crap haha.
Have a good one and keep it up! o/
