Anatomy Study Feedback

RobertRamsay

Hi All,I have been study anatomy on and off for the last year and decided to stick to this one piece until it looks close to perfect, it may be a little idealised and everyone has their idea of perfection but if anyone notices anything out of the norm with my sculpt I would appreciate the feedback.


Thank you

The line that runs on top of the spine doesn't indent that far in.

Also, don't use that matcap you're using. Use someting neutral like a gray clay. The matcap right now, like red wax, mis-accentuates certain pinches and valleys.

this is really nice. Hardto find whats wrong. I'd say his kneeds look like two separate pieces. You might take a nother look at that.

RobertRamsay

thanks, here is another update since then. I might have corrected those.

Looks like you are right about the back groove and the knees I need to adjust also, I always get fogged up with assumptions, need more ref I think

mmm, looks good to me, can't find any imperfections. Though the trapezeus and neck part, side view, is a bit wonky to me. Maybe its just me, keep up with it

RobertRamsay

Thanks, I fixed the traps hopefully and also fine tunes a few other things taking the feedback from jade and pmiller on board.

this is awesome !!

RobertRamsay

thanks for your feedback before. Its got a long way to go before its anywhere near folio!

Here is another update, I did a full retopo on him and took on more advice to correct the shape. I think I could possibly rig and pose him now and begin working on details, let me know what you guys think?

I think there's a lot of work to be done with it. His legs look wrong. Placement of the mucles looks to be somewhat correct, but the overall shapes of the muscles and silhouette of the leg are just not what they supposed to be. Take a look at your reference again, draw some lines and compare it to what you have now.

His back looks like a big mess of muscles with no real definition to anything.
There's something wrong with proportions too, especially the arms.
Arms and hands in themselves need a lot more work, there's not a thing about them that looks right.

Just remember, photo references are your friends.

Hey dude, the major thing that sticks out to me is he's very blocky. His torso is really wide and you need to re-evaluate the gesture. The arms lack understanding. The forearms don't really look as though they connect like a chain and are too round / inflated. The bicep looks as though it isn't running up towards the coracoid process also the form of the serratus looks as though it's too short. It should look as though it's a form placed on top of the rib cage rather than just sticking out from his back. Finally the gesture of the lower legs in a little off. Sorry if that's a bit much, hopefully it helps dude. Godspeed.

Thanks for your great feedback, I will have a closer look and bring on board more reference material, it's my first time round with anatomy so I expect to be learning many things and getting the critique I feel is massively important so it's all good. I will post another update as I feel I have gone over the corrections.

I think you've been concentrating on the muscle groups and trying to get all that correct but forgetting the overall proportions which at the moment are hurting the piece and making him look inhuman. I'm not saying that people can't look like this - I'm thinking of some outrageous body builders that I've seen photos of. But that's the point - they are at the far end of the human spectrum tanked up on steroids and lifting uber weights.

RobertRamsay

Thanks for the Feedback, been working on him on and off still, so he looks different, any crits please are welcome

Nice work!
The deltoids, bicep, triceps overlaps are not connected very well yet. Also how the deltoids slot into the pecs you can see on body builder pix. You probably studied images like that till your eyes dropped out but it is worth another look.

Keep em comin.

RobertRamsay

Took on board your feedback guys, plus did some more tweaking of my own, some inflating here and there to keep the proportions in place

RobertRamsay

Some more tweaks made
