Figure drawing critique request

[Ambrose James]

Thank you all for the wonderful time you all are giving for critiques. A wonderful thing in this time and I am very grateful. If anyone wants to critique or give me advice please do not hesitate!

You can also leave me any requests if you see me as fit enough to critique anything you have!

 

Thank you,

First off, I want to say that the color choices are suberb, I love the way the cool and warm tones play off of each other. The forms of the legs are also convincingly foreshortened.

One big important mistake I notice is that the pelvis and torso seem to be one contiguous shape, like a 2D hourglass. A lot of instructors on here mention the “beanbag” or “sack of flour” as an analogy for the two main masses of the figure (rib cage + pelvis).

Excuse the rough sketching, but I tried to draw a bit to illustrate what I mean. The intersections between forms are really useful to help sell the 3D aspect.
