  • Hey guys, what's going on. Stan Prokopenko here with Proko. Sorry for the long wait for

  • new videos. I’ve been working hard to get the anatomy lessons out to you guys as soon

  • as possible. There’s a lot to do to make this the best anatomy course ever, so I appreciate

  • you guys being patient.

  • Today I have a critique for the Shading lesson and generally summing up all the figure lessons.

  • Amit Shirole submitted two drawings. He did such a great job with this exercise, I think

  • he's a good example for everyone else and maybe an inspiration to do the same thing.

  • So, Amit emailed me and said:

  • Hello sir, I’m following your videos and this video was extraordinary! Here I’m sending

  • you my work sirPlease guide me with your valuable suggestion. Thank u sir!!!

  • Ok, I will do my best.

  • First of all, you did a fantastic job with the study of my drawing and then doing one

  • of your own in the same style. I applaud you for such a great effort. It looks to me like

  • you understood most of the points from the shading lesson. And the best thing is that

  • you actually did it. You did exactly what you're supposed to do. Watch the lessons,

  • study from the lessons, and practice what you learned from the lessons. It's easy to

  • just binge watch all the videos. But it's those people that actually go and practice

  • that will make the biggest improvements. So, good job man!

  • Now, if you don't mind, and since you asked, I'll give you few suggestions on how I think

  • you can improve.

  • First Drawing

  • On the first drawing you missed the gesture. Draw a plumb line from the right side of his

  • head down to his foot. Youll see that in the photo and in my drawing the line aligns

  • with the left side of his right foot. On your drawing it's farther to the right. This causes

  • him to look like he’s balancing on his right leg. But, he’s actually leaning on his left

  • knee. The weight is distributed evenly between the left and right side. Maybe you could review

  • my video on Balance.

  • You seem to be using too many sharp edges to separate the muscles masses. It can be

  • good to exaggerate that in some areas, but youre doing it too much. You have the whole

  • scapula region outlined. The trapezius is outlined. And the same thing on the other

  • side. Notice how in my drawing I have areas where I show a sharp edge with a line, but

  • then I fade the line and the edge becomes more vague. It's softer and it provides a

  • variation throughout the edges, that's just a more appealing design. When you've indicated

  • the beginning of the edge and the end, the viewers will connect the dots on their own.

  • You don't have to outline the whole thing. See how here you have outline, outline, outline.

  • On mine, those areas are open.

  • The background is too messy. It distracts from the focal point. Overall I feel like

  • the drawing is spotty. Lots of light and dark spots that don’t work together as a whole.

  • Youre making every area in the composition the lead actor. Try to decide in the beginning

  • of the drawing, what is the focal point? What is the secondary focal point? See how in the

  • bottom of the right leg, the highlights are just as bright as the highlights at the top.

  • The lights on the stick are glowing. See how I have the same highlights, but they are much

  • darker. They fade as they get farther from the light source. And the background is clean

  • and doesn't fight for attention. I intentionally made the the upper back as the main focal

  • point and the left foot as a secondary focal point. Hopefully it comes across that way.

  • Squint at your drawing and see if anything sticks out too much that shouldn't be. Ok?

  • So, be more deliberate with the composition, the way you lead the viewer's’ eye through

  • the drawing.

  • Proportions - Not too bad. Mainly I think that torso is too short and head is too large.

  • Everything else looks pretty close.

  • Second Drawing

  • Ok, let’s take a look at your second drawing. Actually, much better composition. The background

  • is cleaner than the previous. You kept the lights on the bottom foot a bit darker. You

  • faded the value of the thigh a bit as it goes toward the knee. When I squint I can see you've

  • created a focal point at the center of the torso.

  • But! of course, there’s a but.. I think you still have room to improve the composition.

  • The background could be more deliberate. I’m seeing spots that don’t seem to have a purpose.

  • I think that they just happened as you were shading, instead of you deciding that you

  • want them to be there. As youre shading, think about how the values in the background

  • can help tell a story, guide the eye, and create a sense of atmosphere. Any texture

  • or gradation has an effect. So, take that into consideration and don't let too many

  • things be accidental. Approach the composition with intent.

  • You could have made the values of the shadow on the right leg here darker. Some of them

  • are really close to being halftones rather than shadows.

  • I would have pushed the darker gradation toward the knees even more. On both sides. The tanned

  • skin helps to push the eyes back up to the focal point.

  • As for the gesture, you straightened the body. You made it more vertical. That makes the

  • pose feel stiff. I like the diagonal in the photo better because it’s more dynamic,

  • a little more interesting to me.

  • A few things about the proportions..

  • First, his left leg. You did what most of us do when there's foreshortening.. You un-foreshortened

  • it. You made it longer. An easy way to check that is with a few plumb lines. If you draw

  • a vertical plumb line from the inside of the knee, you'll see it align with the inside

  • of the pelvis here. Continue it up and it goes through about the middle of the head.

  • When we do the same on yours, it aligns with the outside of the pelvis. So what you did

  • was you swung the leg outward to show the length. Continue the plumb line up and it

  • misses the head by a lot. Now that's a combination of incorrect foreshortening and also the torso

  • being more vertical than in the reference as I said earlier about the gesture.

  • But, down here the relationship between the pelvis and the knee. That's completely a foreshortening

  • problem. It's a very common mistake. Our brain just wants to elongate foreshortened objects.

  • We remember the body parts the way they look in their extended position, so we draw them

  • that way. Using some plumb lines and approaching the shapes abstractly in the beginning will

  • help overcome that tendency.

  • Another proportional mistake is the foot. It looks too big. Taking the length and stacking

  • another on top of it reaches the bottom of this upper leg mass. On yours it reaches up

  • to the patella. So, it's too long. And the shape of the foot is too thick. I would cut

  • into the side here, and here.

  • And the last thing I'm going to say about it is that you didn't capture the angle of

  • the head. Your guy is looking straight ahead, but in the reference he's looking down. Make

  • sure you're wrapping the lines around the head like on a tilted cylinder. Notice how

  • the placement of the ear in relationship with the eyes and nose is higher up. And the curve

  • of the brow ridge shows that curve too. On yours, both of those indicate a straight on

  • angle.

  • Positives

  • Soo.. What do I like about your drawings? Well I guess everything else, really.. The

  • first thing that struck me when I saw it was how successfully you captured the style in

  • which I did my drawing. When I compare yours to mine I can see that you analyzed it almost

  • line for line. Every stroke in the shading is considered. And it’s that kind of attention

  • to detail that will make you good.

  • The shading is done very well. All the forms feel 3d. Youve got all the elements, highlight

  • halftones, core shadow, reflected lights.. And generally they're all designed very well.

  • I have a feeling you were paying attention during the shading lesson..

  • Your anatomy seems to be pretty close. Could be polished and designed a little better in

  • areas, but they're minor things.

  • And the main thing I really liked is your discipline. As I said earlier, you didn’t

  • just watch the video and move on. You studied from it and you applied it. So, everybody

  • watching, hopefully this inspired you to want to do a longer figure drawing of your own!try

  • not to be intimidated about it. Just approach it in a fun way. Just go out, do it, see what

  • happens. And then post it online, tag me in it. So I can see it.

  • Thank you for watching, everybody! Make sure to check out my premium lessons at proko.com/store.

  • I just finished the Figure course, but you can sign up for it at anytime and work through

  • the videos at your own pace. Alright, thank you for your support everybody!
