Here are a couple additional demos showing how gesture leads to strong, believable anatomy through clear construction and design.

This was a fantastic course. As I've taken the construction course (still need to finish my constructions 😬) these two demos were a nice review with more detailed info. I especially like the "pattern recognition" idea of building anatomy off the underlying steps. As a tool for study and understanding, I think this is a nice complement to the more gestural approach to anatomy that Mike Mattesi employs using his methods. With your process, there is a strong emphasis on understanding placement and the two basic functions: flexion & extension that with a clear understanding of those for each part of the body, someone trained in the FORCE method can easily then transition in and out of that rhythmic process: Hamption for investigation and study of structure, Mattesi for investigation and study of rhythm and dynamism.

That was a lot of information. But I'm glad I took the course. It really helped me A LOT. This is how I started 31. December when I wanted to learn how to draw. I only did the outlines and wonderd why it looks bad lol (3rd pic) and this is my latest one (from yesterday - 4th pic) Ofc it's far from good but I think I did learn a lot of things in this course. The best course ever. I hope with the 2nd one I can improve more. Thank you!!

That's a good amount of progress! Congratulations! Learning to think inside the figure is a massive hurdle. Keep it up!
