Unsurprisingly, these look much better when I follow along the demo than when I try them myself ;)
LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

We dive into the The Shape Method for figure drawing, focusing on connecting body parts to understand spatial relationships. You'll learn how to adjust basic shapes to match the model, use overlaps and wrapping lines for depth, and apply S and C curves to draw limbs naturally. We also cover strategies for handling foreshortening by breaking down limbs into parts. This method helps you set up figures quickly and accurately for detailed drawings.

In this demo, I'll demonstrates a slower, shape-based approach to figure drawing that emphasizes form, overlap, and rhythm through part-to-part construction.

That's a great point. And these look awesome, so the proof is there!
