Drawn out: Crit on bone drawings


Our first real drawing assignment was 4 drawings done of the vertebrate. At least one drawing of each along with a second view of one.  A couple drawings of mine were successful, while I had a few that were not so good (possible because of time committed).  Something that I did well was defining planar structure using cross contour line.  I have also been working on line weight in order to either create emphases, or a general awareness of depth.  I am still working with basic square and ball shapes in order to better understand foreshortening as well as placement of certain objects in space and proportion.  I feel that the better I get at simplifying complex objects, the better chance I have of accurately drawing them.  For now its frustrating...
