Hello~! I know I made a thread topic somewhere about coloring...but this isn't about coloring. XD I need some suggestion for a drawing I'm doing. I'll show you...

The picture is a bit gray...it's my scanner. v.v Anyways, this is a WIP. I want this drawing to have a solitary feel and I wasn't sure how I could produce that emotion into this drawing. The box is suppose to be a window. I wanted to have some kind of scenery. Originally I was planning him to be in a town with an ocean view or something, but I wasn't sure how to do that. So, now I'm not sure what would fit. Also, I want to have a better expression to show that solitude (I don't like the eyes because they don't seem to match). If possible, please give suggestion how I could make his expression better.

By the way, this is my first time actually drawing a half nude male. I had a hard time drawing the anatomy of the male body, so, sorry if it's a bit off.

no I think thats perfectly fine. I think you did a good job conveying an empty solitude feeling with him gazing out the window. A scenery pic of him looking out to the ocean would have worked as well but I think this works perfectly fine. If you'd like I could draw up a paint over on your sketch to maybe help with his anatomy a bit better but I think in general your on the right path : )

Thanks. If you don't mind, would you paint over the sketch to help with the anatomy? I would love to see an example as that may help me practice on drawing the male anatomy.

Hmm, if so, I may draw an ocean then. I will just have to find out how to draw an ocean from a window, haha. XD Thank you for the suggestion.

sure, so the general anatomy looks good, the for the most part : ) the head was turned a little to much. (When a body is faced towards you, its best to put the head in a three forths view instead of a side view, because its more natural. You could try putting your head in the same position but you'll notice its really uncomfortable and most people wouldn't take a post like that normally, so I changed the head to a 3/4 view).

The other thing I wanted to mention was the stiffness of the pose. I think this has a lot to do with the shoulders than anything, the higher up they are and more straight, the more we have an uptight feeling. Try relaxing the muscles more so it feels more relaxed and casual then on edge.
