      highschool, or the one I went to, did "not" teach this kind of thing, it was the basics of art, like drawing still-life and paints, etc.... :( Even college doesn't always teach you what you would like to learn the most and you end up paying big time for that.

    Most insightful tips on how to visualize body movement I've ever been exposed to. Since watching this, I created a dozen quick sketches and one nailed the action I visualized simply by relating the chest and pelvis positions.

    Hi Jim! Loving your series, serious long time fan, don't quite idolise you (creepy!), but you, humberto, and a bunch of others are my linework heroes, I stare at pages for 15 minutes at a time without realising. Any-hoo, just followed this one over a few hours or so, lots of breaks from chronic fatigue, but improving rapidly. Haven't drawn in years and missed the basics at school (they just didn't teach it) so LOVING this! Thanks for the masterclass for FREE, who knew?!?

    Damn, when he flexes. Damnnn. You can tell he's been working hard hehe! And like prior comments have told, it does show in his art, and that sometimes detailed or lengthy drawings could be taxing, and sitting around a lot can have adverse effects to the body so it's important to move around too. So, it's nice he has a peak physical condition as well cuz it actually helps in drawing too and sitting down, keeping a good posture
