Figure Study_self composed class

Below you will find some of my most recent figure and anatomical studies from this past month of september. I have constructed a self composed class for figurative study. My goal is to study the rhythm, form, stretch and musculature of how the masters constructed their figures. The Idea is to study figurative form in its most basic breakdown, so I can constructdrawings of figures that look alive but are actually  derived from my own mental library. Through my study I found that most master drawings are not composed with models, instead they rely on their vast understanding of musculature and form to create figures that mimic life drawing. Please let me know what you think. 
A muscular study, depicts how the musculature weaves and wraps around the figure. 
What characterizes this figure is the notable stretch and twist of the torso, a feature found throughout the master drawings from which I laboriously study. 
This is a study in receding form, I find the form in deep space or deep perspective to be the most challenging. I have to keep forcing my mind to keep the construction simple in order to expose a form that is complex.
I post this figure because of the stiff attitude and smooth rhythm 

Figure study_1

This form is constructed with a very simple approach of spheres built on top of another creating a sense of perspective

Final Billboard

Final painting for Billboard. I painted this in Corel Painter, it is my second "full painting" attempt in the program. I am liking the effects more and more, as they do mimic the approach of Oil based mediums quite well. 

This is the preliminary sketch for a billboard company that purchases billboard space throughout the U.S and posts Christian messages on them
