I’ve always been frustrated with my figure drawing skills (or lack thereof) and, until recently, have been getting away with “charmingly” distorted figures as popularized by indie comics and fashion illustration. For example, the figures in my work for Ang Nawawalang Soundtrack<\/a>\u00a0obviously defy human structure logic.<\/p>\n

That kind of drawing is acceptable, yes, but I am married to a very skilled artist<\/a> who always tells me that I have to know<\/em> anatomy before I can deviate from it. Remember, even\u00a0Picasso had a realist period<\/a> before the creative genius revolutionized the art world with his abstract depictions of society. So I made it my mission to practice drawing figures whenever I can and this is how I’ve been doing it.<\/p>\n

1. I hang out in coffee shops where I can watch people and draw them inconspicuously. I usually sit in a corner where no one can see me drawing or else they might shy away and turn their backs on me. <\/p>\n
