Hogarth is notable for drawing the figure in the following order: torso > legs > arms > head. It's completely a matter of practicality, based on the weight of the contribution of each part to expressing the whole. The head is last because it can be moved into a variety of positions without affecting the pose, unlike, say, the position of the chest, or hips or legs, which would completely alter a pose if they were repositioned.
Bridgman does the opposite. He starts with the head. For him it's practical, because he's drawing from life, not imagination, as Hogarth did. So, as you would guess, the method depends on the motive. If you want to draw from imagination searching out a pose, Hogarth's method makes good sense. If you want to draw literally from reference, Bridgman's method does.
Liked the demo. Like how totally unguarded and guileless you seem, just drawing in the moment and owning every bit of it.

Thanks for the reference. I will have to give Bridgman a look.

From the advice you give and the things you say in narrating your work, I would think you've read all the big names and main references. You said something about not being literate in a previous message, so I have to wonder where it comes from - osmosis? Takes a lot of time and devotion to pick up so much practical experience, and an open, agile mind to be able to move it from the hand to the head. Hats off to you. And, yeah. Check out Bridgman. I have one of his books (the Complete Guide to Figure Drawing) linked here. Pretty sure it's the one that opens with his explanation on how to draw the figure:
QUICK PICKS I salvaged the Quick Picks from the widget on my profile page and placed them in this literature post just to make sure that if something happens (like I give up core membership) you'll still have access to them - and so will I. LOL. These are books I'm always recommending, headed by what may be the most important of them, The NATURAL WAY TO DRAW. A good many more resources including articles, 3D models, anatomy plates and art education material may be found at http://www.ingetang.com/praxis/ I highly recommend exploring the site-map.

I will definitely look into Bridgman. I have been meaning to for some years now. I think any flow of speech and ideas comes from my studies of all the other artists I admire and I owned a business for 15 years so I dealt with lots of customers. So that would add to my ability to deliver my message. Thanks again for the reference and the nice comment! You seem to be a wealth of knowledge!

Well that explains it.
Any time!
BTW - I checked out "Hulk Smash", today. Nice job. It was interesting to slow it down to study your layer stack and figure out what you were doing. I'm just getting the hang of CSP, starting to use quick mask and selection layers, customizing brushes, etc., so these videos do double duty for me. I had no idea you produced SO MANY! LOL.

I hope you learn a bunch from them. I love CSP. It has become my go to program for most of my work now. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck with your studies!
