figure drawing

[Sakievich]

I go to an open figure drawing session held across the street from a local art museum. Abu was the model. Give me your crits and thoughts

it is so hard to give constructive crit on this one cause it is soo good...at least in me humble opinion.

ok, here is my goldnugget: he is floating in an empty space, if you just hinted at a shadow on the ground you would ad an extra dimension to the picture.
and the right foot is a bit to loose.
fewww that is all I can squeze out of it.

it's really a good drawing...there are no crits to add...perhaps this one : just one drawing posted????? post more :p

This is really nice. The only crit ( and I'm just looking reaallllllly hard to find one) is that his left knee/gastrocnemius looks pushed in to much towards the center, that it doesn't match with the foot correctly.

Its kind of a funny figure drawing session, it lasts for three hours, but the old guy who runs it has 10-15 minute gestures(way too long) and the breaks often go over 15 minutes once we do settle into the final pose. So I ran out of time on the legs and a few other areas. The final solution that I have come up with is to just pretend that I have all the time in the world to work it out and so I just take whatever time I can in whichever area I want to really nail down and try to "finish" those areas.
I spent most of my time working out the back muscles, which probably aren't perfect...And sorry about the knee... Something I will have to watch out for next time the drawing has already been "fixed".

Here's a gesture drawing from a different session
