Man anatomy - crtis
Hi,
I'm trying to learn anatomy (just another one
).Well, I would love to get some critiques/comments about my progress.
My english is a crap, so patience with me please hehe =P. I'm still learning.
Thank's

The legs are looking accurate up to the bottom of the pelvis. the torso is a bit too long and the shoulders are too high/wide. Remember that these are 'standard' proportions, you need to stick kind of close, but everyone is different.
the head is def. too small compared to the body, and it is too short from front to back. a goo rule is that the head is comprised of two egg-shaped ovals, one for the face and frontal cranium, and another that makes up the rear of the head, even with your head size, it is too short.
Overall structure, balance, and posture is good. keep it up!
Keep at it and you'll get there. Be sure to make above changes and post it here! :thumbup:
Kot_Leopold, Thank you very much for the paint over!
What you think?
You also have next to no detail on the back of the thigh with the biceps femoris, semitendenosus etc, i know they're not overly obvious even on really muscled guys you can still see their definitions.
At this stage, I wouldn't so worry about defining each individual muscle as much as I would getting the overall proportions/planes and the silhouette.

Also:
1. Brachialis tampers as it inserts onto the humerus. In your case it is the other way around. It looks flexed when it shouldn't be.
2. Biceps brachii is still too big.
3. Flexor muscles of the forearm appear as a single mass. Yours have a crease in the middle which shouldn't be there.
4. As I mentioned in the paintover, smooth out the triceps brachii tendon. It doesn't even look like a tendon. Looks like a bone (humerus) which isn't visible until you get down to the elbow.
5. Sartorius is non-existent. It attaches to the Anterior Superior Illiac Spine (a very important landmark, which is also missing). Thus creating a plane change that you don't have.
6. From the profile view, gastrocnemius doesn't seem to insert all the way up to the femur. It just cuts off which is incorrect.
7. Striations on the deltoid are way too prominent. Again, he isn't flexing his arms.
8. Teres major is an important muscle which shows up on everybody - men and women. Obviously, being more prominent in men.
Kot_Leopold, Yes, but the most are ecorche. Now I'm using more humans references.
Thanks for the crits, I tried to fix them.
The arms seem too skinny as well. Take a look at the wrist on the back and front view. Also the elbow (the joint of it) - it should be slightly thicker than the upper arm since the bone expands when it reaches there. A general rule about bones is that they're thicker on the joints.
Also I notice now that the lower legs might be a little short.
I'm still studying anatomy myself, but that's my 2 cents.
I don't know if the anatomy is decent now, what do you think?
Check out the illiac crest
pec major goes underneath the delt so there's normally a more obvious division, yours pretty much flows directly into it, there's no seperation. Can't remember the exact name of the muscle but the definition point between the external obliqs / hip tends to have an indentation. Best example i can find is this, pretty obvious difference for ya.
There's some other stuff but it's mostly just where the mass / definition lies, you have most of the main groups there just not popping the ones you should and doing others. I'd angle the arms more so we could see the lats because there's almost 0 bulk from your back shot in them.
