  1. Hello: Your artistic genius and your teaching is appreciated. Would it be possible to download the sketches that you are demonstrating in this video. Thank you,

  2. Maybe it’s just me but I would find this much more useful if we could see the model he’s drawing. It’s difficult to follow his plan without seeing what the pose is and where it’s going.

  3. Why does everyone's drawing looks similar in watts atelier ?But i love the way u guys paint it's fantastic.i would really like to see u guys drawing normal people with normal bodies too instead of fitness models and gymnast (i have nothing against them).I would love to see some different work from u guys.U guys are fantastic.keep up the great work.

  4. Interesting method , using academic drawing and Railey rhythms.

    I like more vilppu conceptual approach but I will give this a shot.

  5. The problem is there's way to many approaches and techniques for drawing the human form, everything becomes convoluted and complex which is why a lot of artists say fuck it and give up, this guys style happens to be parallel with how I like to draw, do woodworking, building etc,.. you just have to find an instructor that matches your learning style.

  6. Is there a specific level to place the collarbones and shoulders? cause every artist I see just place them without any measuring

  7. I wish I can sign up for online classes but I am so thankful for this clip! My greatest weakness is going soft on my lines and I hope to work on that. Thank you for all your help and hope you keep making great works! ❤️

  8. Beautiful but I do not agree with making 7-11 light strokes before landing each final line – Jeff does it also – it is a Parkinsons approach! Master musicians do not play every note soft first – and actors on stage do not whisper first – so why should we do like in this video …
