I've just progressed onto the chest videos (Video 21) of "the structure of Man"
http://the-structure-of-man.blogspot.com/
I'm quite pleased with the videos and how they are helping me. At first i wasn't sure but the knowledge 'sort of' seeps in slowly. I've just finshed lots of videos on the skeleton mainly skull. All of a sudden I'm viewing peoples head differently! I find myself staring at people (in the street, at work etc) studying there faces.
I'm also reading the notes of Walt Stanchfield which have alot of tips/ideas regarding approaches to sketching. I like the notes regarding doing quick sketchs/poses rather than trying to do a master piece everytime you pick up a pencil or pen.
The notes are about to be published in book form:

I've really only just begun with these teaching methods but already seeing improvements.
Also listen to the Glen Keane animation podcast. He spoke about 'Degas'. An artist who did lots of great sketches of figures. The first book i have, has a section at the back with sketches, brilliant and inspiring.
Glen also talked about michaelangelo and Rohdan
Artist who inspires Glen Keane : Augustus John

I'm intend to study some of their work.
