I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: her figure studies piss me the fuck off. You’re supposed to suspend your stylization and draw what you see, not what you THINK you see. That’s like art 101. It’s why people use references to draw, because drawing from memory, while perfectly fine to do, does not tell you what something actually looks like. You can train yourself to know how something should be drawn, but it takes lots of practice (or a photographic memory, but learning how things like a body are built so you can pose it however you want and it’s still accurate is probably more useful), and if you decide to use that practice to instead continue to shit out art with your stylization smeared all over it, then you’re proving that you don’t really care how something is supposed to look, and rather how YOU want it to look.
And Rory doesn’t make an effort to really demonstrate that she understands what she’s seeing. Like the feet she draws, she just makes one line in it to represent it, or makes a blob and some vague sense of the toes. I understand that you don’t need to put tons of detail into your figure sketches, but you have to show that you understand why the foot is the way it is in that pose. You don’t just make a blob and say “well, that looks like a foot so it’s a foot now.”
