This one is also good for construction. You can apply a light, uniform gray color across the entire silhouette and then determine a light source to accentuate the shading of the entire silhouette. Also, try to carefully check the shape of the hands (fingers, palm, wrist), and if necessary, break down their shape separately to understand the volumes. Do this in a larger size and/or with simplified volumes. đ
Here is my sketch, done according to the course instructions and with little or no use of an eraser... I hesitated to post it, considering the other drawings that have been posted, which are clearly on a different level!
Hello Laure! You did well to post your sketch; regardless of your skill level, itâs great to be able to compare not just the quality, but also the mistakes others make, and the things they do well, etc.
Your sketch is generally well-structured. See if you can think of the construction lines as lines that define the form, rather than lines inside it (for example, for the arm that runs along the body). The ribcage could also be a little larger and take up more space towards the back. You noticed the spacing of the feet, which is great! Just a few small elements to refine, but overall itâs a good start :)
Well done on this exercise! Overall, itâs really good đ. Your proportions are quite good. The main problem is that youâve slightly misaligned the body, which makes it lose volume on the right side. If you need help realigning the proportions, you can always use the âhead measurementâ method (look at your reference and see how many âhead heightsâ the different elements are positioned at). Otherwise, the best thing to do is to keep practicing until it becomes more natural to the eye. Keep it up! đ
Here is the corrected version of your exercise. The proportions are generally good, but you correctly identified the error with the legs. They are a bit too short and misaligned, as if they were subject to a different vanishing point than the rest of the body. The head is also slightly too elongated. Overall, itâs still great work đ
Donât worry if you canât reduce the size of the images; itâs really not a problem :) As for your sketches, they are really very good. There are just a few small details to refine, but itâs not much, and youâre definitely on the right track đ
Youâve been pretty good! Indeed the main problem is at the level of the legs which are too long, but you have kept the right axis, if you look at the thighs have rather good proportions it is the calves that you have a little too elongated. Continue like that, anatomy is tedious but you go out very well :)

Bien aussi celui-ci pour la construction. Tu peux placer un gris uniforme lĂ©ger sur toute la silhouette puis dĂ©terminer une source de lumiĂšre pour accentuer les ombrages de l'ensemble de la silhouette. Essaye aussi de bien vĂ©rifier la forme des mains (doigts, paume, poignet) quitte Ă dĂ©composer leur forme Ă cĂŽtĂ© pour comprendre les volumes. En plus gros et/ou en volumes simplifiĂ©s. đ

Hello,
Here is my sketch, done according to the course instructions and with little or no use of an eraser... I hesitated to post it, considering the other drawings that have been posted, which are clearly on a different level!
I messed up with the spacing of the feet.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Laure
Bonjour,
Voici mon croquis fait selon les consignes du cours et sans gomme ou quasi pas... j'ai hésité à le poster au vu des autres dessins postés qui sont clairement d'un autre niveau !
Je me suis ratée au niveau de l'espacement des pieds.
Merci pour votre retour :)

Bonjour Laure !
Tu as bien fait de poster ton croquis, qu'importe le dit niveau c'est super de pouvoir comparer non pas la qualité mais les erreurs que font les autres aussi, les choses bien faites, etc.
Ton croquis est bien structurĂ© dans l'ensemble, vois si tu peux penser les lignes de construction en tant que lignes de concour de la forme au lieu d'une ligne Ă l'intĂ©rieur (pour le bras qui est le long du corps par exemple). La cage pourrait ĂȘtre aussi un peu plus grande et prendre plus de place vers l'arriĂšre. Tu as bien remarquĂ© l'espacement des pieds, c'est top ! Quelques petits Ă©lĂ©ments donc Ă retoucher mais dans l'ensemble c'est un bon dĂ©but :)

Hello.
I was wondering how to calculate proportions. The video taught me some good basics. I just need to keep practicing. Thank you.

Hello Jennifer,
Well done on this exercise! Overall, itâs really good đ. Your proportions are quite good. The main problem is that youâve slightly misaligned the body, which makes it lose volume on the right side. If you need help realigning the proportions, you can always use the âhead measurementâ method (look at your reference and see how many âhead heightsâ the different elements are positioned at).

Bonjour Jennifer,Â
Bravo pour cet exercice, dans l'ensemble c'est vraiment bien đ tes proportions sont plutĂŽt bonnes, le principal problĂšme c'est que tu as lĂ©gĂšrement desaxĂ© le corps qui du coup perd du volume sur la droite. Si tu as besoin d'aide pour replacer les proportions tu peux toujours utiliser le repĂ©re des tĂȘtes (tu regarde sur ta rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă combien de rapport de tĂȘte se places les diffĂ©rents Ă©lĂ©ments) sinon le mieu reste encore desaxĂ© s'entrainer encore et encore afin que cela devienne plus naturel Ă l'oeil nu, continue comme ça đ

Bonjour Ellen,Â
Voici la correction de ton exercice, les proportions sont gĂ©nĂ©ralement bonnes mais tu avais effectivement bien perçue l'erreure au niveau des jambes, elles sont un peu trop courtes et dĂ©saxĂ©es, comme si elle Ă©taient soumises Ă un point de fuite diffĂ©rent du reste du corps. La tĂȘte est lĂ©gĂšrement trop Ă©tirĂ©e aussi. Ca reste du beau boulot đ

Hello,
Iâm having trouble reducing the size of the images. If you have any tips, please share them.
My drawing lacks contrast.

Donât worry if you canât reduce the size of the images; itâs really not a problem :) As for your sketches, they are really very good. There are just a few small details to refine, but itâs not much, and youâre definitely on the right track đ
Bonjour CĂ©cile,Â
Ne t'inquiĂšte pas si tu ne peux pas rĂ©duire la taille des images, ça n'est absolument pas un soucis :) Concernznt tes esquisses, elles sont vraiment trĂšs bien, ils y a quelques petits dĂ©tails Ă perfectionner mais ça n'est pas grand chose, tu es vraiment sur la bonne voie đ

Bonjour Odysseana,Â
Tu t'en es plutĂŽt bien sorti ! Effectivement le principal problĂšme c'est au niveau des jambes qui sont trop longues, mais tu as su garder le bon axe, si on regarde les cuisses ont plutĂŽt des bonnes proportions c'est les mollets que tu as un peu trop allongĂ©s. Continue comme ça, l'anatomie c'est fastidieux mais tu g'en sort trĂšs bien :)Â
