I follow Josh's advice: first, I drew the torso along with the video, afterwards, I gave it a try without any reference. This turned out funny. The neck is way to short, the ribcage too narrow, especially in the top part, and pelvis and humerus to wide :-) Have a look at how it would look with flesh on it ... Well, I learned a lot from this.

As mentioned before, I find the short poses of 15-30 seconds very hard. It was a bit easier when I focused on the graphic shapes. The more elaborated sketches are about 6-7 minutes each, drawn with pencil on 20x30cm.

Hello Josh, hello everybody! I was wondering how much time one of those Portrait-Sketches took you. For warming up, I tried fast portrait-sketches with 15 seconds - this didn't work at all for me, 30 seconds was a bit better but still very little time to make any decisions. I suppose it will get better with time, still I was wandering if 5 Minutes would be a good interval for drawing a more detailes sketch like yours. Kind regards, Lili

Today, I started drawing the skull from different angles. It will take a lot of more practice to internalize it, but I start to understand the planes :-) Any feedback is very welcome.

This time, I chose to draw with pencils, as I feel more comfortable with it. I found the video to be pretty fast and the sound quality a bit bad, but with enough pauses, I managed to do it. I guess there are some mistakes. In myfront view, the mandible is too long, and in the profile view the chin turned out too weak, hopefully the next attempt will be better. Also, on this occasion, I got my skelton out of the cellar :-)

Hello everybody! I'm an illustrator from Austria, working for years without profound anatomy-skills. I did a lot of life drawing years back during my studies, but never really learned the theory. So I thought it's about time to change this, and I'm happy the course started today. I liked the first lesson and wanted to share my first results with you. Usually, I draw on paper, but decided to do this in Photoshop to improve my digital skills, too. Lots of other things to improve - feedback is very welcome :-)
