4 days and 30 gesture drawings later I'm already seeing improvement:
Figure drawing doesn't naturally spring from a well of creativity and talent, it's a very technical process. In other words, I think anyone can draw competent figures if they study the right techniques. Vilppu has it down to a science.
Here's one I did today:
It took about 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of critique. As you can see by my notes it's heavy on analysis and calculation. Except poopy time. That's why it looks like crap, but eventually I should be doing some really cool stuff with these bodies. Just need more practice.

I was juuuuuuuuuust getting ready to ask you when we could expect another post, and TA DA! looks nice man.. I am excited to see some characters come alve from this...
Thanks zach! I ought to be dragged out to some blog neglection center and stoned like a leper, but I've been a drawing psychopath lately and I haven't been able to do anything else. Once I escape I'll get back to catching up on your excellent blog(I might've been an Alaskan in a previous life as I can't stand the heat. Summer is killing me.)
Ah, thanks for finding me so quickly. I was just about to search for you :D I enjoyed talking to you even though it was so loud in there. E-mail me sometime :3
ya know, I'm just reading this again and I find it funny that you can do face but not bodies (as you say) I'm the opposite. faces are haarrrddd
What! Your wolf faces are better than my human faces.
Bah, but they aren't the same thing!!! I'm working on it though!
