But I've found it has a different skill set to creating figures from scratch. It helps, of course in adding lots of information into the mix. But its an indirect thing I've always found.

Aside from mentioning the head tilt can change the figure a lot, how do you plan on improving? <br /><br />(I'm in a similar position I have decent anatomy knowledge, and fair chops at drawing, but throwing down figures from my mind always come out weak, and since I have a 2 1/2 year old I can't jaunt off to figure drawing every night)Alonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277314114654205703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18602782.post-44897280922408293202010-04-04T12:08:41.274-07:002010-04-04T12:08:41.274-07:00I was also enjoying my pig while listening to this...I was also enjoying my pig while listening to this.
