Anatomy Lesson Series: Body Part 2 - The Torso

#41

This new anatomy thread is a good idea. I’ll do some as soon as possible before next week - I’ll be too busy then.
Good start everyone!!!

#42

Thanks for comments Rebecca :slight_smile: I agree that it’s a good idea to focus on the torso, got a bit carried away with the 2 first ones :D… so from now on I will… added to that, drawing at 2am after long day… well, say no more! Keep looking at the original of this one, thinking he must have used a young man… and added breasts, like I said, it’s late :rolleyes:

Great work everyone, and this is FUN! :slight_smile:

Hi all.

Good idea, but i have only 1 hour per day and not every day. :sad:
1-st speed paint. about 20-25 min.

#44

Jvdz - Great work… love the shadow of the arm on the torso…

ytresu - Very nice lines. nice shadows as well, that must have takes hours…

Here’s my second attempt… changed the shadows a bit from the original… don’t know why… crits are welcome…

thanks

All right I followed Rebecca’s advise and put a chalk paper on top of my drawing and started comparing my drawing with the ref.
I found out that having the right proportions on the torso is extremely important if you want the other body parts to be scaled correctly. What I’m trying to say is that due to the torso I first drew being too narrow, I drew the subjects left upper leg too short. Because I estimated the size of the left lower leg using the upper leg as a indication, this too was too small, etc
Same for the arms (biceps of right arm too short, right lower arm too narrow and too short ) and the head (too narrow).

Conclusion: I’ll focus more on getting the torso proportions right in my future studies for this challenge… Thanks Rebecca :wink:

Here’s the revised version of my first study, which is getting in the right direction

paolodelarosa nice lines!

DiM for a quicky that’s really nice. His right leg seems a bit short though

Frejasphere charcoal? actually my girlfriend came home with a charcoal stick today and i’d like to try it out for a couple of torso’s, so if you got any tips on using that (never did before, eg does it matter on what paper you use it? do I sharpen it like a pencil? etc) I’d be happy to hear from you :slight_smile:

ytresu man you are fast :slight_smile:

YMS I love your first!

Great work peepz, excuse me now, gotta do one more :slight_smile:

[color=yellow]Rebecca, first thing to say here is THANKS once more for another great opportunity to be here![/color]
I felt kinna sad not being able to participate on the OFDW 19 due to my computer crash and huge business commitments, but now I got back onto my personal studies, and here we go !
My personal anatomy thread is still bugged because my server is still down, will fix that ASAP.

Hi and my best wishes to everyone, I see everybody around did a nice start and it’s going to be really nice to learn more with such great artists around !

#52

Horray for anatomy lesson! =D
Hope this is a big learning experience, like the last one was! Too bad I didnt have time to finish the last one, lets hope I have best luck with this one.

BTW!
Time to stop already! I could go the whole night retouching this.
More to come tomorrow!
(yay, so happy about the workshop ^^)

[/color]Hey Maidith wow, only prob you have with this one is like I have with mine… a bit of highlights would spice things up

Wow!!! 1’st day and so many posts already!

I just have 1 question. Do we have to use the provided reference, or may we find our own, or use no ref.?

Either way you can count me in. Thanks RebeccaK.
