I'm going to take a trip soon. I'll be on the plane for 10+ hours each way. I want to get better at drawing the human form, and to have a better understanding of how to convey form better through my drawings.
How should I use my time on the plane to do this? Is there some sort of hyperbolic time chamber-like technique for me to use to do this?
I have an office printer that I can use to shoot off an art book if necessary.
I would consider myself beginner level.

sorry i cant tell if this is a joke lol
is this a meme? or a serious suggestion
>>2777904
Serious.
Just pick up one of Andrew Loomis' books (Fun with a pencil for beginner exercises or Figure Drawing for all its worth for drawing people, I don't recommend this book for absolute beginners tho) and do the exercises and copy the planes

thanks for the suggestion. i've been drawing for about 2 years now so i dont think i'm absolute beginner. do you have a suggestion for someone a tiny bit more experienced?
i am not trying to sell myself or anything, but if you went to instagram.com/artofthepoon, it would give you a good idea of my skill level

okay will do. thanks man. i'll shoot out his book on my printer
>>2777920
one more thing. which one would you start with? i have PDFs of creative illustration, drawing the head and hands, eye of the painter, fun with a pencil, successful drawing, and figure draw
>>2777933
I'd say Fun with a pencil, then figure drawing and the any of the books.
This isn't the only order by the way, Fun with a pencil is the only book I recommend to do first tho, as it teaches mostly fundamentals and exercises. You can do the rest in the order you prefer

i went by the order he wrote them, since i think he kept getting more advanced with each one.
