Here's the reference photo I worked off of. This drawing took me an hour and 22 minutes.

So, You'll see that I labeled some muscle groups. I had taken the liberty to plan out my planes of the body and found that if you go off the muscles, it became very useful. lol, honestly I found it a little fun and just wanted to label the muscles because I wanted to. I found that I'm a little less knowledgeable of the leg muscles, perhaps another time I'll go through another anatomy study session.

Looking at it now, I probably should've made my darks darker. As seems as though that whenever I block out of section of shadow, it ends up not looking natural anymore, I'm not entirely sure what the cause of this should be.

I've found that I have quite the bad happen that seems to be plaguing me with every drawing, and that is focusing too little on the proportions of the head relative to body. It seems that everytime now, I always make the facial features lower than they should be and end up distorting the head making it either too small or too big. It's usually the former. Sometimes I don't even notice it until afterwards, but now I'm noticeing it more and had to redraw the head a couple times. That's what happened to me yesterday as well

Another thing that's bothering me is my line quality. The way i have it now, just makes it feel too rigid. Like there's no rythym or fluidity in my drawing. It seems pretty inconsistent in the contours and the overall impression that it makes is rather bland and unimpressionable. Perhaps, I should be a bit more minimal in my construction and focus more on values, leaving only correct proportion and action line for the beginnning phases.

in terms of the pose, I think the only thing I missed what the angle of the chest and pelvis and minor tweaks here and there. Which I believe time would be the only remedy.

Getting used to seeing critically is a bit of challenge, but over time I believe I can better at it.

Thanks for reading
