>take the figure I've drawn as an example. are the lines I've put on top of the larger shapes, like her torso, correct?

That comes with anatomy knowledge and stylization. Anatomy helps you understand where things overlap and what sits on top of what. Stylization helps you decide what to omit or emphasize. In your example, you did a good job on the hip tilt and the ribcage, but the right breast reads flat because of that harsh U shape. In the reference, you can see how the boob and the pectoral merge into a single shadow shape. this anon can give you better insights he is really good at this. >>7608539

It’s a great book. Use the color spotter, and if you’re doing the assignments digitally, don’t use the color picker. Use the RGB sliders it gives you a more intuitive sense for getting the color right (whether it looks a bit more blueish, reddish, or greenish). For lightness, use the value/lightness slider.

agree with the other anon, this is really really good. because of the filename thought it wasn't original work.
