why oh why are you using so many straight lines? You're drawing people. There are very, very few straight lines on people. Or anything organic, really.

You also need to really focus on accuracy when you're copying things. Look at the plate from artistic anatomy again; is his thigh that short in the original? Is his stomach that big? You're focussing too much on lines I think, when you should be looking at overall form. Slow the hell down and look at shapes and how they relate to each other.

I'm using straight lines because I'm using a gamut. It's a fine art device, making it much simpler to paint the sketch when you transfer it to canvas, than it is to draw in curved lines. Also I draw pretty slowly, not really all that fast, so it's more like what Chris said, I draw to slowly. I do agree 100 percent on what you said with that plate from artistic anatomy, I don't know what I was thinking there.

Also Chris that first thing you just posted in the post above mine is quite rad.
