This course is approachable enough for beginners and detailed enough for advanced artists. My philosophy is to teach timeless concepts in an approachable entertaining way. I believe that when you are having fun, you learn better. I take pride in producing high quality videos that you will enjoy watching and re-watching.

This premium video course includes extended versions of free videos, many examples of each lesson and critique videos.

Note: This course contains nudity. Premium videos are uncensored so beware of private parts. All drawings included here are of my own work.


What you will learn
1Gesture
One of the most important concepts to drawing the figure. Gesture is the rhythm, motion, action, flow, and posture of the pose.
2The Bean
An effective tool for identifying and drawing the tilting, leaning, twisting, and foreshortening of the body.
3Landmarks
Know the areas where the bone is at the surface. Landmarks are used to find forms and to measure proportion
4Mannequinization
Give your drawings volume and perspective by using mannequinization to help invent poses from your imagination.
5Robo Bean
Create a representation of the body with boxes to help find its orientation and use it to visualize it as a 3D form.
