I didn't have much time today, so I thought I'd just play a little bit and came out with this. It's still wheel-spinning; they all look basically the same. But I suppose if I can remember and reproduce the planes that make up a torso to that point on a similar quality each time, it means I'm remembering them properly, at least. I want to push that one a bit more and see just how much I can replicate the reference on that level. I think I'm still fucking something up; I think that's why I'm still fixated on this thing. I feel like there's something wrong, but I can't work out what, so I'm just spinning my wheels doing the same thing over and over again trying to work out what it is. Although, it has been said that's the definition of madness...

dunno if you want feedback, but I've noticed the shoulders are consistently on the smaller side, at least for the d00ds, you nailed them in earlier posts though

Oh, I absolutely appreciate feedback. And that's true, now that you mention it. Maybe I focused on women so much before that I'm not used to bulkier male forms, haha.
I'm really bad at arms. Especially the underside. So hard to get a good angle for those in reference images. So I did this planar one studying from a scan. It might've been a questionable choice; the man has unusually long, slightly disproportionate arms. Well, the anatomy will be the same. Anyway, it's not quite right, but better than I understood it before. I was referencing the muscles themselves too much to try to understand what I was looking at, though, so it's more ecorche-like than it ought to be. Honestly, the skin and fat makes a huge difference to a real arm, so I need to account for that.
I think these exercises have been helping, though. I'm finding it much....Clearer? I'm finding it easier to establish forms that look roughly like they're supposed to by thinking of the planes and the key contours that define them, rather than my previous hyperfixation on the anatomy as anatomy that undermined me with all its complexities. I reckon I'm slightly less dogshit than before. Just a little bit.

I am so bad at shoulders.
This is stagnant. I'm just repeating myself without learning anything. Spinning my wheels again. Tch.
