Grrr. I had nice notes... and then wanted to delete a line... cmd-backspace took me back a PAGE! and now they're gone. sigh. Here's hand written ones from the video (not as good), and my attempts at the demo images.

Actually working on a partially bent over pose now. I’ll try these techniques out. Good stuff.

First attempt at bent over figure.

I gave it a try! Demo three was very tough. Trying to get the hips in the right orientation without making it look like I was just drawing the side contour was tough. Demo 2 I asked myself "how can I make this more interesting?" so I pushed the back leg away making it feel like the character is almost out of balance. How did I do?

Just drawing along, trying to mimic Michael's lines. I hope that if I do it enough, something of their graceful fluidity will embed in my muscle memory.
