Before we continue, let's do a quick recap of everything we've covered so far. The idea for this lesson series started after I got a bunch of request from subscribers for advice on how to draw the figure realistically. So I decided to go out and interviewed dozens of figure drawing experts and ask them… "What is the secret to mastering figure drawing?" After analyzing the answers, I realized that there was a pattern among all the responses. They all seem to agree that most of the problems that beginners experience in figure drawing- like not being able to keep the figure in proportion, not being able to draw action poses and stances, and not being able to make your figures look realistic — is due to a lack of a handful of key fundamental skills. In fact, if you were to learn these key skills in the right sequence, you would be able to avoid many of the common frustrations and achieve success faster. These key skills were human proportion, perspective drawing (as it relate to figure drawing), gesture drawing and the manikin figure, anatomy drawing, and realistic shading. I called this systematic approach "The Figure Drawing Success Formula" and over the course of the series we dove briefly into each of these elements. If you followed the exercises and drew along, you should have seen some immediate improvement in your figure drawing. Hopefully by now, you can see the power and effectiveness of this structured approach to learning figure drawing. But what we've learned so far is just the tip of the iceberg and there are a lot more to each of these elements than what we were able to cover in these free videos. Now if you'd like to go even deeper with this subject, I'd like to invite you to join me in my brand new DVD course called… "Secrets of Figure Drawing" Here's a brief overview of what's going to be inside… The course will be divided into 6 modules.
