Mod Edit: We have all watched with admiration and interest as Cesar continued to post his studies of Burne-Hogarth anatomy drawings in parts. This thread is a compilation of all those wonderful threads, merged with his permission, and will be a valuable addition to the Figure forum’s resource section. Thank you Cesar! Thank you viewers for your encouragement. [/COLOR]

Wonderful… I can’t applaud enough! I’m totally convinced that after you’ve spent some time doing this, and then return to your usual manner of drawing, you’d notice a much deeper grasp of structure and proportion. How solid that last drawing (especially) looks, how very believable those contours around the bridge of the nose and eyes :thumbsup:

Yes, the 3D structures are the way to go once you get basic proportions down. Good work!

Good studies Cesar, I particularly like the last one. Whilst Burne Hogarth does exaggerate his drawings do emphasize structure and (in general) follow the underlying anatomy.

C&C always appreciated.

Really good studies Cesar. I’m not sure how to use Burne-Hogarth as a tutorial though I notice his words (certainly on facial features) match Jon Vanderpoel whose drawings are more life like (rather than exaggerated) but follow the same principles. Keep going.

Nathan.
