Y R U SO COOL ASKING FOR A FRIEND
<3
In all seriousness though, besides Michael Hampton's book on figure drawing, what other sources of info you use and how do you go about studies? Have you ever attended art school or something similar? Your level is something I see in artists that had proper education and know exactly what they're doing, you're insanely skilled!
NO YOU’RE SO COOL
LOL I did go to art school for a bit. What helped the most was relearning the fundamentals, especially the figure drawing courses. Which you don’t need to spend your life’s savings on, bc Michael Hampton’s book is almost exactly how we were taught to break down the figure. :> Pinterest is great to find reference photos, and if you’re able to find live drawing sessions in your area, even better.
I’m also very meticulous with perspective and angles when doing studies—one of my profs was so adamant about this it drove us all mad :sob: but it was THE class that made everything click for me. So instead of loosely following the reference/model, try to nail every angle 1:1. Not everyone likes learning this way, but it’s def worth trying.
