Shading and Design Tips for Figure Drawing - Calf Critiques

I give my thoughts on a couple calf assignment drawings submitted to the Anatomy for Artists course. I'll give you two tricks for shading and one for shape design of muscles vs tendons. The first is a way to simplify shading. An easy template to use as a starting point. My second tip has to do with looking at the shading subtleties that a couple pro artists use and incorporating that within your work. Huge shoutout and thanks to Loish and Max Grecke. Be sure to check out their work in the links below.
