/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I see a lot of artist who do studies that look like pic related by Tom Fox. The sketching style is direct with little to no construction lines and measurements are mostly eyeballed. They're not too worried about getting the silhouette and shapes just right and accept a pretty big margin for error. They draw their subject once and then move on. The guys who fill sketchbook pages with drawings like this tend to have a good ability to draw from imagination and having a fast sketching style is obviously a good way to amass a volume of sketches.

Now to the question. When I approach studies like this I don't seem to retain much if anything from what I'm drawing. I only seem to be able to use my studies for imaginate work when I draw with careful measuring and draw the same thing over and over with plenty of construction lines. For instance, if I study a hand I'll draw the same hand with and without reference atleast a dozen of times with progressively more simplified construction. The only problem with this method is that it's slow and painstaking way of studying and quantity over quality seems to be best way according to those who teach drawing.

So this guy is apparently doing a anatomy/figure drawing course. Anyone interested in a group buy? There are only 20 spots for his course, so It'll be great if we could get it.
