Sketch Dump
Been working to improve the skills using some book resources I ordered recently. I especially recommend...
Force by Mike Mattesi
Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery by Burne Hogarth
They teach concepts that you can take with you. I personally take away more when I am taught a concept that I can absorb, process then apply. So these books are being very good to me ;)
Here's me trying to better grasp some of the ideas...

Nice sketches, Jeff. I especially like the motion in your figure work - that's something I need to work on myself.
Good to know Jeff.
"Force" is already sitting on my wish-list at Amazon. I thought it looked like a good one.
Hogarth is a long time mentor.
Cool to see your sketches too! ;)
Hm. I guess it's just me, but I never found Hogarth to be that great. The way he drew stuff always annoyed me a little, even though I've had, at one point or another, several of his books.
I've never heard of the other one - I'll have to check it out.
I usually find most of Hogarth's stuff to be a little hard to use ( too much information and too wide ) but this one was actually ( surprisingly ) a departure from his usual approach. It was a bit more... succinct. I was able to make very good use of it.
Hogarth had little sense of figural rhythm. His poses often looked like they belonged to marionettes. However, I learned so much about male bone & muscle structure from him. During my senior year of high school, I did little else in my free time other than stare at "Dynamic Figure Drawing" and "Dynamic Anatomy". heh.
