Glad to find a place for ink lovers. This is just anatomy study based on Stan's tips of trying to maintain gesture, but also an attempt to be less dependent on hatching. Done with brush an ink ( though I did use the computer to make the paper completely white).

Great Exercise! I often do masterstudies in this approach, understanding the form concept of the artists. This one if from Titian, a quick study but valuable one. I learned perspective through Drawabox too and helped me a lot in the matter of form.
I didn't learn about Drawabox until I came here, but from what I've seen, it looks great. Someone also mentioned Modern Day James on YouTube, which I've delved into a little. What I like about his videos so far is that he teaches the basics of form and then immediately shows how to apply it to the figure.
Exercises like the ones in this thread and the ones you do, help build the automaticity of form thinking. The reason I like only using boxes and cylinders is that if there are misconceptions on how to draw them, an exercise like this brings it right to the surface.

Jack Faragasso has a Reilly book but it is very complicated, I know Dough Higgins also has a few books on it but have not picked it up. I recommend following Watts' teachers on Instagram, such as Erik Gist and Brian Knox they drop tidbits of Reilly Abstraction. You could also audit 1 or 2 streaming classes ($49 to audit, $210 to participate). You can also base your study schedule on the online program without actually taking it, since the online program is in phases, and the preview, it shows what you learn in those phases. Ex. in Head Phase 1 you start off by studying head layins (loomis head), then skull in 3 views, simple Asaro head 3 views, Reilly Abstraction 3 views, finally Asaro Head in 3 views.
Muneem, you rock bro! Faragasso’s book is AMAZING. Now I have a bibliography to rely upon, thank you for your comment. 🙏
