Reed wants to draw better... at last

[I STRaY I]

Thanks STRaY, i really appreciate this :D Hm hard to say, since they are both awesome :) I think that the Bammes book is still better for learning the connections of muscles and bones, where they start and how they react and interact in different poses. It´s also full of awesome skeleton references.
But the portraits and hands in bammes books are not as quite as good as the ones from Loomis.
I think i took the bone- and muscle-stuff from bammes, more muscles from Hoggarth, and faces, hands shading and most of the other stuff from Loomis.
Therefore Loomis is still my favorite

Nice, I for one have started with Loomis. And while I feel like I'm learning placement of landmarks & construction. I feel like it's making me worse as far as drawing, but they're is likely some underlying psycho shit going on. I just like seeing others anatomy/figure drawing, and I see Bammes/Hampton/Bridgman studies that look so much more enjoyable to me. I don't know, I'm likely just self sabotaging or something. Anyways, cheers man, I think you've got it right by the looks of it and taking some from each method. looks good and once I do finish some Loomis I look forward to trying something else. But I have so much Loomis to do, like 5 books, god.
