It is very hard to crit what is obscured through blue lines.

Thanks. It would be nice if someone could tell be the best way they found to optimize the quality of image for sketches done on ruled paper. I've been having trouble getting rid of the blue lines, I tried muching with levels but itnothing seems to wrok to well, otherwise the characters lines appear real thick or too thin.

Any ideas would be helpful

Because speve, the desks in uni are tiny desks, and the chairs are even smaller, so once I get in my seat, I can't shuffle around to get anything out...so i'm permannetly fixated to the seat until class is over. So while the prof rambles...i start to draw

Take notes in your sketchbook. Or keep both your sketchbook and your notebook on your desk. Or keep individual sheets on white paper in your notebook. Individual sheets don't take up that much room

As for your drawing, you should probably look at some pictures of women (maybe in bikinis) to understand how the anatomy works.

Hey! I was using my girlfriend as a model for these! hehe...actually no, I used no reference. Is it possible if you could point out specific things with the anotomy. It seems fine to me, so I'm not sure.

superbug here's a rule universally known for figure drawing (note these are all general rules and all bodies are different from one another) :
figure: about 8 heads tall
1:head
2:nipples
3:naval
4:crotch
6:knees
8:feet
Need evidence? look at http://antsin3d.com/loomis/page27.jpg

hope that helps ya.
It's good to use reference when you're still learning to draw the human figure... that's why there's figure drawing classes.. But, as I don't know your age, learning from photos is an ok alternative.

BTW.... http://antsin3d.com/loomis/ is Figure Drawing for all It's Worth by Andrew Loomis. Since the book is out of publication, Anthony (or Ant) has, for the past 9 weeks, been working on making the entire book available online... pretty sweet deal... and a very good figure drawing book.

I have a really good idea. Why don't you buy yourself a nice sketch pad, and take it along to school with you?

FYI, a little trick to reduce blue lines in Photoshop:

- Open the Channels palette
- click on the blue channel
- select all (ctrl-a)
- copy (ctrl-c)
- click on the RGB channel
- paste (ctrl-v)
