General compiled tips -

  • Study from life or 3d models if possible - it grants a deeper understanding about the form of your subject. There's really something great about being able to rotate something...
  • Gesture is just as important as anatomy! combine your knowledge of the two, using only anatomy may make things look too stiff.
  • It's not necessary to draw every day, especially if it stresses you out too much. find a schedule that works for you. 4 times a week is what I personally strive for
