It warmed my heart to see so many people acknowledge that learning to draw
rather well is a pretty challenging task requiring some real effort. (BTW, that
was genuine feeling and not sarcasm - I've been told that, with me, it can be
difficult to tell sometimes.)

I'd like to take a moment to encourage anyone who is interested in learning to
draw the human figure to look into the works of artistic anatomist George
Bridgeman and his "constructive anatomy" technique.  Although I generally
recommend his work even to a general audience, it seems to me that his approach
is ESPECIALLY useful for POVers in that he breaks down anatomical components to
basic solids.

A good introduction can be found here:

(Folks with "normal" to slow connections might have to be patient waiting for
all the pages to load, but it WILL be worth it.)

Best Regards,
Mike C.
