My Figure Drawings

It is my opinion that the building blocks to excellent art is the ability to draw the human form. The human figure can teach an artist how 'to see'. There is volume, perspective, guidelines and rules. One learns the art of seeing when trying to capture accurate human anatomy. Failing to 'see' will leave an artist with inaccurate and unsatisfying results. Not learning to 'see' will carry on to other areas of an artist's work.
Once an artist learns the anatomy well enough to accurately capture it on paper, he or she then needs to create their own unique style to their work. Overtime, I feel as if I have created a style that can be seen through some of these drawings.
Figure drawing reminds me that I am always a student of art!
