This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Pencil first, then ink if I have time. I'm getting better at going straight to ink for the detail work, but for gross body positioning I still need the pencil.
Two seats down from me was someone doing pictures twice as good as this one directly with a fountain pen. I am in awe.
There are some people with freakishly good spatial reasoning. I have to lay down 10 lines before getting even close. Love your drawing btw
A cool exercise we used to do in art school was to draw a subject for 5 minutes or so without looking at the drawing or picking up our drawing implement. It really helps with breaking down the subject matter into shapes/lines.
Not saying you studied in Korea. But back when I kept an art instagram account I followed a lot of accounts that posted figure drawing. It seems that Korea has a really strong community of figure drawers, a bunch of accounts I followed were from there. And I saw a few post drawings using that exact technique you explained.
