A #dailysketchext throw back thursday to that time I took a life drawing class just because and then I ended up learning the most important, fundamental things that I still use to this day to draw people. I wanted to show you this sketch because it has the blocking my instructor taught us for the body in conte underneath the beginning of the pencil drawing (it was timed and I was always slow in those days). This blocking technique really and truly came in handy later when I took fashion illustration, as did all the work we did with skeletons, muscles, and structure. If you want to see your drawings of people improve, this blocking technique is very helpful. As are gesture drawings, which are a totally different thing and I'll show you that tomorrow...
