VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
In this quick tip video I share 3 simple tips that can help you learn anatomy and figure drawing much more quickly and efficiently than just studying anatomy book from start to finish. As artists you study anatomy a bit different than the typical science student. Your main goal has to do with the convincing portrayal of the human form not just to memorize facts.

    Those manikin sketches are great. They underline the concept of "forms in space", which is necessary to understand how the figure moves in an environment. You also succeed in not making them look like puppets on strings. Well done, sir.

    I found these tips on learning the necessary parts of anatomy very helpful. You give clear instructions and you know where we aspiring artists need to focus our attention. Before I discovered your videos I was artistically stumbling around in the dark. Then I took quite a bit of time off to care for my father before he passed. But when I could draw again, there you were with more wonderful videos and two books! You are inspiration itself, giving us permission to fail and encouragement to get right back on the horse. Practice is, indeed, helping me. Thank you!

    I bought the work book and I’m really benefiting from the exercises. I think spiral style would be very beneficial, maybe even perforated pages so we can just remove them? Very happy with the paper quality too. I thought the bleeding would be really bad on the exercise pages but the paper handles it very well.

    Thanks for a new vid Alfonso. I just got a fountain pen and noticed it pops more and than a regular or even my Micro pens not to mention it is much more fun to use. I also ordered a dip fountain pen as well with different sized nibs to play with. I see you don't use them much but wanted to know if you like to use them and also if there is any number system to tell which nib is which. Lastly if you could recommend a brand of pen and ink that you find works best for this kind of work. Most of them focus on calligraphy. Thanks again for being here and I hope you can find the time to answer. Take care. I also love you book and workbook.
