Use bricks wisely I suggest to learn simple shape/form of rib cage and pelvis and how to connect them What @@bkost is doing is much better starting exercise then what you are doing , check his last few posts https://polycount.com/discussion/155970/bkosts-improvement-diary#latest
I thought I know all stories about bricks but never heard this one... :D But I understand what you mean. I think I won't leave the torso for a while since I know so little. Also thanks for the bkost link. I'm considering to make my own thread on my journey to become character artist.
