Lee’s figure drawing class sounds amazing. That’s a very good approach to the concept and what Lee described in seeing the differences of male v female was really interesting.
As an aside, I remember when i had a figure drawing class. I gave my wife fair warning that it was coming and so from her I heard, “ok so just look really quick and then stare at the paper.” Meanwhile, my teacher was in class saying, “Really look at the figure and don’t look at the paper so much. Take in the pose and the form.” I had to laugh at my predicament.
I need to inject more emotion into my imagery, and make full scenes. I’m starting on this with a couple panels in my four page story. But I always try to improve.
