I'm planning to post at least one sketch a day, and I'd appreciate whatever critique you could give me. I just ask that it's more specific than "take a life drawing class" or "study anatomy". Thanks

At the moment, I'm mostly trying to get foreshortening and perspective right. I know the hands are off, but they should get better once I get around to practicing them.



EDIT: Should I have the pictures smaller?
