i think it rules

The hands are my favourite they look really good, the way you used blue pencil crayon to draw in the unseen parts is pretty cool to. I have started using blue crayon recently and it just makes my sketchs look really smooth.
Great picture rob

The line weight along the edges needs a more thorough treatment, I think. That forearm is separated nicely from the rest of the form, but I think the back-plane edges need more weight than the interior details.

This guy's shoulders must ache so bad, having massive quads and biceps with such tiny rotator muscles. :-p Acutally, you might want to make some decisions about linework along the back of the upper arm (the closer one), those could be made gorgeous with one or two brief definition lines.

Your shapes have a nice volumetric quality despite the fact that it's just a contour drawing. The two areas that really "sing" are the far hand and the near pantleg; the shapes are very nice and organic.

i would like to see the feet, it looks like your losing a bit in the legs... i can't really tell where the're going... if they would continue on that way...know what i'm saying? you achieved the feeling of mass well.. also, if it was a smaller pic it'd be easier to see how it all works together, i'm kinda scrolling back and forth to look at it.

thanx for the comments

Erik - Thanx man

Vader - the blue line is a non-photo blue, i usually use one of those or a col-erase pencil to sketch in the forms.

Atomick - I agree that the upper arm could use better line work, but about the anatomy, it was not ment to be a medical study, in fact I was trying to exaggerate.

Fletchgirl - Yes i think that this could be more than a sketch if I had the whole figure drawn, maybe ill add onto this one in photoshop. this is the full page out of my sketchbook
