Anatomy critique

jackdefany

Hello! I'm studiying anatomy for the last 2 weeks. I didn't study arms or legs, only torso for now and this is my last sculpt. How can I improve this or is there any part that I missed or done wrong?

What are you using as reference? A handy start is to use DAZ 3d on an external monitor while you are working. You can rotate around the reference figure while you work.

It's a fine block in. Now take it to the next level!

I'll check daz. I mostly use the things I find on the internet.

My latest sculpt, any feedback? I think serratus muscles are bad but I'll try to improve.

you are getting closer to realistic believable anatomy. You have a lot of the overall shapes marked out but their volume and the way they connect to eachother still looks a bit rough in some areas. I think you could do with trying to replicate an actual persons anatomy like a UFC fighter.

I referenced humans like you said, I think it looks better, thanks for the tip.

yeah you are starting to get more weight into the correct muscles now, those arms and that neck look rather skinny for that chunky muscly body by the way, maybe you can do a bit more on those too, Keep at it

Thanks, I'll start working on arms and legs now then I'll move into neck and head area.

Hello Jackdefany, 
As Ged said you're getting closer, I made a quick comparaison, I think you should refine some point for exemple the rib cage seems a littler bit flatte, and the jonction between muscle are not very clean, you can try to work by level from the interior to the exterior about muscle. 
For reference you have great figurine from 3d total and "Anatomy for sculptor"  book that are very good. 
Keep continue to this nice sculpt !!

Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I got problems with rib cage area, especially serratus muscles I'll study that area more. 
In my last study, I tried to sculpt the whole body except hands, feet and head. First I sculpted with only planes then I added the anatomical features.

Thanks! I added them to my reference folder. First one looks perfect for arm reference.
For today, I kinda get bored of sculpting base human male so I tried to sculpt a female character in a dynamic pose.
