This is kind of how I see my artwork.
It also really helps to use a grid!

This seems very helpful, I always try making the image before nice and neat. I'll try and break that habit and loosen up on my sketches a bit.

Another instant-fave tutorial. Measuring stuff is still one of my greatest weaknesses when drawing.

Great tutorial, Viw!

I wonder though, how you would get from recreating an existing pose to your own pose build from scratch? That must involve many things, not least of all, clarity.

Clearly communicating ideas as drawings is something I keep struggling with. If you could entangle that subject in bite sized tutorials that deal with a specific facet of clarity, well, that would be awesome.

Changing from references is an eventual tutorial group and goes along with building your own form of undersketch. It's also tied to understanding volumes and anatomy so there's quite a bit to it. But it is coming! Bit by bit.
