    12:45 - When I started doing more anatomy practice with muscular men, I found that drawing action stars works very well for that! Actors such as Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren were my main references for muscular male bodies because they are two of my absolute favorite actors. I don't think I would have learned the anatomy as well as I did if I had not drawn guys I really liked.

I love that you focused on giving your followers specific strategies that they can apply to their own studies and drawings to create an individualized plan for themselves. In hearing how you were able to assess your drawings and make a plan for improvement helps me a lot because I often just blindly start over and "hope" the next one looks better. So I like the amount of time you gave to the importance of intention. Thank you for posting this amazing video.

    Something Sam does here (that's not really explained at all, especially to newer artists) is really important to understand if you're a beginner: Sketch like a painter. Don't fill, indixcate. Let me explain: He almost never fills in every single line for every single feature, detail, etc. Rather, he *indicates* these details and leaves gaps in the lines, or variance in the lines, or different levels of thick and thin in said lines. All of this for the face, eyes, nose, shape of the face, the hair, everything. You need gaps and variance, it's important. The shading works the same way, Different levels of dark in the shading, sometimes it's ultra light or ultra dark. It's how you get things to look natural and not "forced". Hope this helps!

    This is great, amazing work! These are continuous line drawings btw, a contour drawing is when you usually only draw the outline (the contour) of an object but more importantly this done while not looking down at the page. You “scan / trace” the contour with your eyes and blindly move your hand at the same time, drawing the same part you’re looking at, without looking at your page. It’s really cool to do, you’ll surprise yourself!

    I’m not enjoying it as much cuz I’m always thinking of how I’d have to make it a career, which makes me spiral down not being “company quality” or like “the greats” or people on social media. To an extent its true to practice is good, I should try and make money from drawing, but when I never make anything for myself and everything is constant studies, I begin to despise the practice because it just feels like work without an immediate payoff. So practice and make it fun. But also plan to make a project. No matter how small, tie it to your skill level and mark down those accomplishments and milestones.

    I've been insecure about my faces lately and have felt like they've fallen far behind how I draw the rest of the body, especially with how comfortable I've gotten at doing gesture drawing. I've been doing the 100 heads challenge to work on this issue, so I'm glad to see repetition was the way to go! And to people in the comments worried about the fact they cannot draw this good this fast, just slow down! Its okay. The more practice you get, the more you find your flow and understand the underlying construction and parallels, the faster you will work. You can find this speed later. I also recommend doing studies of the skull, muscles of the face, different expressions, ages, and ethnicities, angles, etc. There's lots of awesome portrait photography out there you can reference for your studies, so have fun with it!
