Simplifying Arm Muscles with Cross Contour - Biceps Critique

When you’re drawing forms and cross contour, analyze if the form is going toward you or away from you. In some of these anatomy studies, I noticed attempts at cross contour with curvy lines without consideration of their direction and height. Also, the large simple form should be visible even when drawing the cross contour of the smaller parts. I’ll show you how to start with the cross contour of the primary form and then divide it into the secondary forms.

If you like this critique, this other one about drawing dynamic anatomy is very useful:

Proko looks like a Bond villain with his tablet glove.

[diaspiano]

Me looking at the drawings: WOW incredible! Theres nothing to critique there. Proko: you can do this, and that. Me again: oh yeah thats right, didnt catch that

[mrsubstanceguy]

Still waiting for the legs tutorial, all my characters float.

[arialien]

I love your critique videos, Proko. They are the best! Thank you for being so careful and detailed in your responses.

[RenoSydney]

Thanks for another critique Proko! I definitely find this commentary on cross contours quite useful

[Hannah-qgfp]

i love your channel! so much to learn from you

[ericreuss]

Great video and the message applies to so much more than arm anatomy.

[DavidKyokushin]

This is super useful. I always mess up my cross contour lines in those complex shapes

[redeye]

Drawing inside the cylinder reminded me of Netter's anatomy atlas. Good stuff!

[Catherine_Ea]

Thank you for everything, this is great!

[allluckyseven]

Proko is so metal even his bottle is black.

[maudjdraw]

[matthewjohnvu]

Primary, secondary, tertiary. Got it!

[FrancPusar]

Have you posibilities to visit live course for two weeks in live with you and what is a price ?

[roxef]

"this isn't an accurate cross section"
of course, there is no humerus there!

[chikengas]

I think the critiquee forgot that there is skin wrapping the muscles. I make that mistake too but I realize it too late lol

[miguelaulet]

I can't believe it I'm First!

[minutes]

Bruh I'm 14 and I think every one of these drawing are good. I'm definitely not going to get in an art school

[Renji_Abarai]
