A while back, I was watching a documentary of one of my
favorite artist, Frank
Frazetta, and he suggested something that all artists should do. He copied
an entire anatomy book in one night. In his words, "I started with page one
and copied the entire book–everything, in one night, from the skeleton up. I
came back the next day like a dumb kid and said, 'Thank you very much, I just
learned my anatomy.' " (Frank Frazetta Biography -

A few years ago, I'd thought I'd do the same. Believe me, it works. These are
samples from my scrapbook copied from a book called
"Dynamic Figure Drawing" by Burne Hogarth first published in 1970.
