well thank you, someday i wish to go back and do some re-working of this shot since i was only allowed a short period of time to do this in the class i drew it in( i think like 30 mins.) what exactly do you have a hard time with maybe I have some insight that might help you along

It kind of has a forshortened view, and I've never been able to really do forshortening. XD I have like a mental block with it that I've been working at.

well the thing that helps the most with foreshadowing views is working from the front to the back. The other thing that i can think of that would help is breaking things down to their geometric shapes. the biggest thing that i know of is like you mentioned "work at it" tell yourself this is no problem and do it. One thing that I had to do when working on these was(this part is difficult) finding a model who is willing to work with you and help you by taking these dynamic poses and other artists to critique your work seriously and do tons of quick 30 second 1 minute 5 minute 30 minute and 50 minute drills and you will improve at a rapid pace. When I first started my figure drawing class I could barely get the human form correct and this is a massive imporvement for a class that only lasts 2 1/2 months. I hope some of this insight is helpful to you.

yeah it is. I'm a Drawing major right now in college, and we get nude model sessions every now and then, and the professors are rigourous in teaching us to get the whole figure in 5 min or less. (so that we can concentrate then on the shading and lighting) I just started learning to draw using geometric shapes, no one ever taught me that way before, and I found that to be very helpful. Like you said, it's just something that I have to work at.
