hey dude, I said I'd post you this stuff a while back but took my sweet time, perhaps it's useful at this point. Basically the idea is that you build up the shapes into a silhouette that gives you something 'complete', quite quickly, to assess as to whether it's what you want, and if the pose is clear, and if proportions look ok, at which point you can dive into the full construction / values etc. as you've been doing above - it's just another way to go about things but is quite fun, and it can give more confidence that the end result is gonna look ok. Excuse the crappy lineworks I did, from that point they can be developed more carefully / fastidiously than I did. Hope it's useful!

My characters are more cartoony here, but this totally works with realistic figures too.
