Gesture Drawing...

Remember, it's easy to tighten up a loose drawing, hard to bring back that loose feel into a tight drawing...

Very interesting lecture on the perception of realism in figure painting...and other things...

John Raynes Figure Drawing Demo

It's always good to review the basics, and John Raynes is definitely more qualified than most.  He has a book from 2007 called "Complete Anatomy and Figure Drawing" which I found so clear and useful, I bought myself a copy.  I believe you might find a copy at O'Mahoney's if you're in Limerick.

Watch David Downtown Draw...

Interesting process, eh?

Notice how he does a basic exploratory drawing first, then a fancy shmancy tracing on top.  Very cool.
