Critique people based on their correctness of drawing. You may also post basic forms, such as beans, boxes, and ellipses.

Recommended Exercises:
>Figure Drawing (poses ranging from 1 minute to 5 hours)
>Skeleton / bone studies from 3d renders (sketchfab.com)
>Ecorche: draw skeleton, then layer muscles on top, from deepest to surface, layer by layer.
Robert Beverly Hale quote:
>You cannot learn the true shape of bones from pictures, however accurate. You must have the real, three dimensional bone. Even in my classroom, a misguided student will copy pictures of bones when the real skeleton is hanging right before him.
>It is better to buy the separate bones, rather than the whole skeleton. (which is often put together by ignorant mechanics) The shape of hte important ends of the bones is forced by places where they touch each other; these places cannot be nicely observed in the assembled skeleton. When you have acquired your bones, study them until you can draw them by heart from any position. Then draw them together as a full skeleton.
