I recently bought Michael Hampton's book, Figure Drawing Design and Invention and it's been good so far. I feel like I wouldn't have understood some of it if I hadn't watched Proko's videos. They both cover similar material. I feel like Proko does a better job analyzing each element that makes up a good figure drawing better but maybe that's a matter of difference of mediums.
As you can see I'm trying to learn about the spine and trying to apply it. I think I should aim for cleaner sketches. I find trying to understand the orientation of the pelvis and how to figure it out on a body and it's a bit hard but the next video I'm watching describes the pelvis so maybe that will help. The ribcage is straightforward to me.
Hampton's book goes more indepth about portraying the skeleton landmarks and thinking about the skeleton than Proko's free videos so I'm glad for that. I'm impatient to get to the muscles section lol but gotta lay the groundwork down.
I took a lot of notes from Proko videos under the cut.
There's a lot of aspects to portraying the figure...
