@Jyonny: Heheh it's not too difficult to come up with a natural looking pose when I've copied it from reference - thanks though :).
It was great to get your thoughts on and see how you approach the different stages of figure drawing - it helped to reiterate to me the purpose of gesture - rhythm and movement. I am indeed following Hampton and he has a set process as you say - gesture - landmarks - anatomy - but he always starts with a gesture to capture the rhythm and movement.
Thanks for taking the time dude.
@Abnormal: Having fun with art?!? Are you sure? Just kidding ;). The thing is - I am actually having fun doing studies because I can feel the improvement in my art. However, you're not the first person to say that to me so I have just recently taken to carrying a pocket sketchbook around with me and doing sketches for fun. I think I should probably start up a side project each month where I do a more finished piece - just for fun. Thanks for the nudge though mate - appreciated.
