Fedodika the Koala

[Fedodika]

Darkiste: i appreciate the effort, but im not really sure what you changed here, you just shaded some things so... I did edit the image, and tried to make it more volumetric in some places, but i have no idea what youre talking about wuth this paintover or critique

Amit: yes, definitely broken, in the original, the leg is coming out, and i forgot that, and drew it flat. I have this issue, im noticing the more i do memory drawings that i tend to flatten a lot of things and not see through the entire form or gesture. It was frustrating the hell out of me today at life drawing, just how many miles of bad habits i have to unlearn, 

but here is the reference, her leg comes out more, feel that cyllinder sitting in that arc shape https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock/a...2-67900310

and more memory stuff, which is very humbling

stuff ive noticed that i get wrong alot thanks to memory drawing:
1. stiff, straight line of action poses.
2. Drawing legs too big, or calves, very freakishly narrow or too long. legs being too big as in, the torso is small by comparison, not like appearing thicc or muscular.
3. neglecting the negative space between limbs.
4. Not fully appreciating the width of the neck, and the deltoid insertion/clavicle area
5. Not drawing the tilt of the head properly.
6. hatching that doesnt follow the form
7. not appreciating the twist of the torso in certain poses
8. Subtle turns of form in space, that really add a lot of realism, say like a pelvis tilted ever so slightly up, and the clothing following that very subtle tilt
9. always getting confused on how the bicep contour goes into the forearm (extensor carpi radialus longus)
10. drawing stuff, flat, stiff, and out of proportion, and those things are 90% of what make a drawing bad
