A scene from I've no mouth and i must scream
It really took a while to do this. The 2 topmost on left and right figures were actually a bit tough to put on paper so I drew the forms subconsciously at first, then added the forms.i want to know whether they're looking convincing, what else can be changed and improved? This has been done completely from my imagination. I took reference only for the scapular muscles of the bottom most left figure from my sketchbook( a drawing i had practised from michaelangelo)

Another cast
Ok. So I was working on this cast and i thought I was well close to it. Later what i saw is that the trap muscles were a bit off as compared to the photo. What should I do. Can I correct it? The drawing at the extreme right is the latest stage

@Daniel Juric yes it's sometimes good to take down the pressure off. Even I break rules. The real thing being that "if it works it works". It's all abt how the drawing looks at the end.

@Chris Legaspi ok but is it looking very familiar with the photo? Because I saw that the traps angle was a bit different from the one in the photo

Drawing from simple live objects
Ok im comfortable in drawing from photographs but from life, im less experienced. So im only focused on capturing the proportions well. I'm not focusing on the renderings. Most of my attention now lies on capturing the proportions. Even though this is a society of figurative arts im still posting this because this will be a nice building block for any complex object. My questions are, can the first vertical marks be changed a little bit? Also how do you prefer to draw these kinds of structures which are in extreme angles in academic ways.

@Mark Lewis ok. I don't remember using measuring tools other than a wood, a pencil. It was a comparative measurement approach. What really worked is deciding the top most and the bottom most part, also the width. Measuring relatively. Using the negative spaces, keeping the pencil on a 2 dimensional plane is important. Meaning if there is perspective in the 3d world. I will reduce it to 2d.

Live foot drawing
I drew my foot with graphite. I want to ask you what action do you think the foot is performing. Is it relaxed, dorsiflexed, etc? I would want to know as your understanding matters here

@Chris Legaspi i took a bit of time to understand but later I understood it's due to proper grouping of values

Another arm study from rubens ecorche
I want you to ask. What do you feel of this drawing. Sometimes I feel as though it has a bit sharp edges. Sometimes I feel pleasant. What do you have to say on this. Please let me know in the comments

@Chris Legaspi hello sir. I was trying to understand where it could go wrong. The answer was a bit clear to me earlier. The reason Is compressed charcoal is a recent material im using. I'm not very accustomed to it. I've tried improve this. Please tell me if it's better to you. Also Peter Paul Rubens did that on pen and ink and I tried to imitate that. But it didn't work here. I had to soften up lines in some parts. Needed to make changes. On the 2nd.photo i recently added. I've darkened the face a bit. That will make the arm stand out
