@Mayenla you got my reply on Forum Suggestion thread you made

09 Feb 10:10

Mayenla

Yeah exactly, I've got an art schedule set up, and I made sure to note to duplicate from imagination afterwards to try and commit it to memory

that why gesture i think is really something that it important to pratice in each drawing season

the main problem with loomis is the fact that you can just copy is drawing a think you learn something but it not like you will really understand so you need to know that copying won't make you learn how to draw from imagination you need to understand the limit of the body

Basically he's still alive. I'll hand it over to Scott Eaton also for figure Sculpting.

I'll work through the Loomis one, since it's a classic, but here's Hamptons site http://www.figuredrawing.info/ his book and course on constructive anatomy is leading edge in the concept field.

Mayenla

I'd start with loomis, purely because I know a lot of people who recommend him :P I havent read Michael Hamptons, but I have Loomis's Figure Drawings and it's a great book

09 Feb 09:05

Which book is better to work page by page from: Loomis's or Micheal Hamptons - Figure Drawing?

Copper's a nice idea, I'd copper up his knee-bucklers too.

09 Feb 07:14

Finnjamin

The white wrapped bit draws too much focus, remember contrast pulls focus.

09 Feb 07:13

Finnjamin

And shade his lower legs, that might improve things

09 Feb 07:12

Finnjamin

Background colour should be neutral grey as well, FSG. Or else a warm muted brown.

09 Feb 07:11

Gliger

I don't completely like the hair, and the ''scarf'' could use some patterns

09 Feb 07:09

Gliger

you could give some details to the folded part of the sleeves, lines, buttons or whatever

09 Feb 07:08

Gliger

hands look too rounded, try to show more bone

09 Feb 07:07

Gliger

maybe keep the upper part of the boots as it is, but the feet part super tight, even showing the fold of the ankles

09 Feb 07:06

Gliger

It's the hands and feet that don't work

09 Feb 07:05

Gliger

Tried gimp, hate it, never gonna use it again
