    For those who did not understand: Step 1: Draw the dots. Step 2: Draw the sketch. And viola you are a certified artist.

    Not counting your intro you drew this man within 4 minutes. I am so glad I came across your video. This is the kind of people drawing I'd like to get better at completing. I've been trying to include all the details thinking that would make the figure recognizable, but by watching your video I should include fewer details and stick to a more basic drawing as you show here. You make it look soo easy, and I thank you for sharing. You've given me hope that I can learn your style for my personal use.

    This was brilliant, I'm sketching again after 16 years and to say I'm rusty would be an understatement. Today we were tasked with sketching a live model, and boy was I struggling to figure out how to best capture his proportions. I'll definitely be trying to develop using your technique as it seems it'll be very useful, especially with enough practice.

    Super tutorials. I've been taking a figure drawing class, and was taught the traditional approach of the stick figure and the bone structure. Spending 10 minutes learning your 4 dots is worth 3 months of classes I had. The light color washes at the end are very nice too. FWIW I prefer using a fountain pen to get some variations in the lines instead of using a marker. In any case, I subscribed and have to remember to check your tutorials often. I learn a lot for sure.

    This is great. I am learning that proportion is so key. It can really free up your creativity in a way. I understand the method for figure standing up. I am struggling a bit with the sitting down. From what I understand it's head to knees, knees to feet that determine spacing? So any angle really from head to knee determines the directionality of the lines. I think I may have just answered my own question 😂
