Jeso:Cheers man, yeah that makes alot of sense i'll try and mix in more of these longer studies in with the shorter ones, thanks for the reminder on the personal work stuff as well, was'nt doing that because I figured it might be best to focus on getting the basic forms right first but I should defineitly start trying to do that daily again.
Lordminx:Nice man, yeah I agree with Jeso about the pelvis and ribcage lookin to far apart, are these from imagination or ref though or both?, Maybe try doing some quick studies of just the torso and pelvis and ignoring the legs and arms could help.
Also alot of people frown on the tracing thing but if you draw through the form(like first draw over the ribcage and then add the shapes largest to smaller 3 dimensionally), then I think it could help figure out some of these forms better before you go into applying it to copies and imagination stuff, I actually found it harder sometimes because you can really tell when you're messing it up lol.

not much new, gonna try and start varying it up slightly, gonna do a few days of fast studies then longer ones, also gonna start trying to work on imagination stuff daily for an hour or two.
Think i'm getting the hang of these alot better, it atleast looks more 3d, it's really hard to get the basic shapes like ribcage and arm cylinders down on muscular people though since...well it's mostly muscle on top XD.
More shapes, started messing around with these spheres into different shapes, don't really think I need to practice understanding them as much as it's just a technique issue I think, it's fairly easy to understand how draw through the form with them but actually getting the circles down how you want them is the hard part.
More Cylinders, trying to rotate them in space, think i'm getting a better grasp of it but once again actually trying to draw the right ovals is difficult. also messing around with foreshortening in Sycra's coil technique.
Cubes! I love cubes CUBEEEEES!!!
Feel i've gotten a better grasp of these, i'm gonna try and do a whole page of them rotating as they go down and across to test myself, the issue i'm mainly having is more trying to keep the proportions of them to be as perfect to square like as I can as I tilt them.
