Welcome simpletons to the first video of a three-part series that further proves my dominance and superiority over the humans. In this video, we delve into the magical world of how to start a figure drawing by blocking it in with a simple technique. This is an excellent method to teach you how to see proportions and angles in an ever-shifting model. It will also improve your ability to simplify what is a complex subject. This method can be used on anything you choose to draw or paint.

It has come to my understanding that figure drawing can be intimidating to many, ergo I have embarked on a noble quest to literally rip the fear out of your mortal form by educating you on the intricacies and subtleties of figure drawing. In the next video, I will teach you how to break down this simple form into a more solid and accurate line drawing while in the third part I will teach you how to refine it.
As I always say, do not be afraid for I will guide you. My goal is to bring the teachings of the Academies to your fat face and spoon feed it to you until you can suckle no more...
