Do your figures feel flat and have wonky, amateur looking proportions?
For many artists, the problem is not effort. It’s trying to draw anatomy before knowing how to simplify it.

'How to Simplify Female Anatomy with Accuracy'

🖐️ Hands are one of the hardest parts of portrait drawing.
Not because they’re complex… but because most artists approach them the wrong way.
In this new video, I break down a simple, repeatable method for drawing hands specifically for portrait artists.
This isn’t anatomy overload or gesture guesswork.
It’s about:
• clear structure
• proportion you can trust
• and a fast way to place hands so they support the portrait instead of ruining it
👉 Watch the demo here:

If hands have been the weak link in your portraits, this will help you see them differently.
Let me know in the comments if you’d like a Part 2 or deeper studies on hands in portraits.

FLAT MOUTHS? 👄🎨
If your portrait drawings feel solid…
but the mouth still looks flat or stiff,
this new video will help.
In this lesson, I show how to:
- make the mouth feel more natural
- create real 3D form in the lips
- avoid the common mistakes that flatten faces
- think in structure instead of outlines
This is a small adjustment that makes a big difference in realism.

Figure Drawing Process: Foreshortened Torso Study ✍️
Foreshortening is one of the hardest challenges in figure drawing. Not because it’s complex anatomy, but because artists skip construction, overlap, and perspective.
This handout breaks my torso construction process down step by step.
This image is a low-res preview. The high-resolution version, along with many more figure and portrait handouts, is available inside my free members area.
If you want clearer, more realistic figure drawings, this kind of process work matters.
