Key's Thread for Showing Off My Art Things
#36
I'm glad to see you're still keeping at it! the skeleton is important particularly for bends and major curves like the spine; here are a few of the things that I try to keep in mind when I draw people:

-The spine always has some curvature to it: it's like a subtle S shape
-the rib cage defines the major volume of the upper torso
-body parts flow into each other because of the muscles
-the shoulders somewhat curve down from the neck.
-body parts taper (go from larger to smaller)for example: the thigh is larger at the connection point to the hips and shrinks as it draws closer to the knee
-joints are the bonier regions of the body and tend to be areas where you'll place sharper points on one end and a crease at the opposite end.

Drawing again and again and again is a good way to build up that confidence and wrap your head around things. Keep it up!
