    A word of advice from a fellow artist on your worst drawing day, you draw better than people who can’t draw on their best drawing day don’t start off by apologizing for your ability or lack of. People don’t know or care if it’s your first year video or not if you’re nervous or not or they really want to dois get on with the lesson I tendency to apologize first I certainly did it myself, but it’s really not necessary. People are rooting for you so just go to your next videos not apologizing not saying you’re nervous. Just go in and do it and you’ll be fine.

      Just draw a bunch of boxes and try to rotate them/ manipulating them (cutting away or adding a chunks for example). Draw triangles / pentagons in rows, turning and twisting rows. Also learn to draw your surroundings from your perspective, Kim Jung GI did that a lot. If you wanna get better at drawing people from imagination you gotta be able to break them down into box figures and think very simply about it. Don't think "I am gonna draw an arm", think "I am going to draw two soft cylinders". Also learn to construct features such as noses and eyes/ mouth etc. in perspective. Look up Tom fox's book, or Bridgman's or Michael Hampton's. they're pretty good at that (you can find them all online for free as PDFs. I don't think anatomy is that important. You gotta know the basics of course and how the body/muscles function, but learning every minute muscle is not that important to create a believable likeness of reality.
      Of course drawing from imagination goes hand in hand with observation and having a muscle memory of how to draw things such as faces from weird angles also helps. It's not a skill that you learn once and just keep, you have to continuously work on it and practice unfortunately, but it's fun.

    drawing from scratch without a reference is an exceptional skill a bit too hard at the start learning it but practice will pay off, I was drawing using pencil to avoid mistakes but my passion for arts took me further so I practiced everyday until I retired from using pencil and charcoal only ink pen now and drawing things from my own imagination. thanks for sharing your thoughts.
