Hey everyone! I just released a course on my website going into stylized anatomy and going from mannequin to character. It's a course for anyone who's interested in getting going from memorizing anatomy to using it practically. 

It's on sale for the month of November for 20% off, so if you'd be interested check it out here:

Drawing anatomy well is completely dependent on your ability to simplify down your shapes.

Often when I teach, I find students over complicating their figures with too much information.

If you’re struggling with your anatomy, just keep in mind these three steps

One of the most common questions I get is "how do I learn anatomy without having to actually LEARN ALL THE ANATOMY!?" Well, that's the premise of my upcoming flash course at Brainstorm. In this workshop I cover a simplified approach to anatomy and the way it impacts style and characterization. If you have any interest the workshop begins soon! Check out the link below for more info.
