    Figure drawing from mind

    Hey guys! I would really appreciate some crits on my latest efforts of figure drawing. I try to get a feeling for the figure and learn to draw it form any angle without reference or model. Right now I basically dont do many other things then drawing mannikins from mind all day long. I dont think much about muscles or this more complex stuff, just basic shapes for now, to understand them and show them from any viewpoint so that I can refine them later. Opinions, advices or anything this kind is very welcome.

    Edit: Sorry for the bad quality of the scans!

    Works well enough.

    For the next stage, focus on tightening the perspective, achieving better balance and weight in your figures, and getting a deeper knowledge of anatomy. Working from life would be good; looking at photos too, but less useful than working from life.
