Thank you for this excellent breakdown! I did these sketches super quickly just to try out Aaron's method, didn't measure any angles or proportions, just followed the rhythm from the head to the hips like in the demos, and they turned out great! So simple and effective.

I love Aaron Blaise. His courses on his site are excellent. Traditional and Digital classes. Doing a watercolour with him. Super fun.
And this was super helpful. Why simple shapes are important.

I purchased the Brother Bear DVD the other day.
Okay, 21 years late ( longer for drawing : ) to the show but it's a great emotional animation with amazing music and bonus features !
It wasn't so good for Salmon though !
BBC in the UK did a wonderful 3 part wildlife documentary:
Grizzly Bear Cubs and Me.

Genuinely enjoyed that; it really reinforces and emphasises the power of breaking down complex subjects into simple shapes.

2D profiles are easy but the hard part is visualizing what happens to those 2D shapes in 3D. Can you show us that?

He's awesome. Not sure if you've seen some of our other videos that we've done with him, but I highly recommend watching his sketchbook tour video, it's one of my favorites. https://www.proko.com/s/nY5R

Haha I don't think so. We're hoping to get some of his stuff over to Proko in the future though.
