Hey All,For anyone in Canada I finally started shipping "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention" to Amazon.ca - Hopefully this will make getting a copy easier if you're looking for it. Here is a linkhttp://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0615272819/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_g14_i1?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0TXWMKA8F6E8T1C4XB7K&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463383511&pf_rd_i=915398Best!

Here is a recent demo from my courses at CGMA. Even though it looks a little different it is from Bernini's David.

I've been teaching a Comparative Anatomy class this quarter and (while this is extremely different from the things I normally do) I thought this might be something out of the ordinary to share. This is a draw over for a student project, giving/ showing my suggestions for the integration of different anatomical influences.Character design definitely isn't my thing, but trying it always gives me

These are thumbnail draw overs for an assignment in which students re-imagine a Greek myth. Emphasis is on the story being told through the composition, not the specific, smaller, details.

Here are a couple lectures given this week. Both maybe of interest as they show potential areas which the "Design and Invention" book can aid as foundational for. In both animal drawing and composition I use all the same elements from the book, just organized differently.

Yes, our model had a shaved head ... and yes, I'm still elongating the necks.

Hi,Here are some recent head drawings and a diagram showing the features constructed from a position beneath. I know this was a position asked about prior, sorry for the delay. For these types of views, I always maintain the same proportions that are detailed in the book, but move the end points of the features themselves (ex. the tip of the nose moves up and closer to the cheek, not the base).

I've been into really long necks lately ... weird, I know.

Some of you have asked to see more full figure studies, so I have been trying to keep it in mind. Sorry it took a while to get some up.

Part of a lecture on the arm, a little messy, but hopefully some helpful stuff in there somewhere.

Here are a few of my leg and anatomy lecture demonstrations. Additionally, I have also included some text to hopefully clarify my interests and concerns when teaching anatomy. Please look at these drawings as aids to understand the process notes on the leg posted May 21.

I haven't put up any feet yet, hopefully I'll get some better leg diagrams up this weekend to go with.

I wanted to provide a more clear cut page on process to supplement what already exists in the book. Hopefully, I'll gather this all up soon as a revised pdf chapter. However, for the time being I hope it will prove to be useful in addition to the revised anatomy diagrams for the arm below.

Having put out the book, there is alot I wish I could have included, but either didn't have space or time to do so. I hope to post up new pages such as this periodically to help fill in any areas that may seem vague or not as reader friendly as I would have wanted. Hopefully it will be helpful.
