Really like drawing anatomy…I had to keep erasing until I got the proportion close.
This was a tough angle for me to make natural looking. I do enjoy doing the hands. Always learning.
Drawing Together has taught me so much. Scott has a grip on this artistic adventure!
I had a weird bicep so I cropped. Good exercise!!
Lots of little details to adjust and tweak, but a great lesson in seeing.
For over 50 years I have said I can’t draw. Thank you for doing this Drawing Together, Scott! I really am learning to draw and I am loving it. I will post a couple of the early drawings from April so you can see the change.
Finally got around to doing this very challenging arm. It’s got a slight halo that I couldn’t remove due to all the erasing and changing positions and proportions. Going to miss the 2 weekly drawing together sessions, but so glad you haven’t ceased them all together. Thanks Scott.
Love that highlight where forearm and arm come together
I had just discovered this great live stream. Drawing the arm was my debut on the Drawing Together stream. Unfortunately I only had a charcoal , laid finish paper, so erasing pencil was a bit difficult. Had to correct the arm position a few times, but overall it was enjoyable session. The host is great! Thank you!
Thanks for the lessons
Wow, I may have used more eraser then pencil. Challenging proportions.
This was a big challenge—the fist was super hard! I repositioned the thumb placement several times. Doing the ellipses when gesture drawing does help me with form and connectivity, though I only did that on the arm not the hand. I used charcoal on gray paper instead.
Thanks for the figure drawing (parts) which was my request! These lessons have helped me grow a lot!
I have enjoyed all 57 episodes. I have learned so much.
Thanks for the instruction so we can Draw Together

Challenging session today. Think it was harder than the feet. Ebony in sketch paper . Another great class! Thanks, Scott!
I blew it on the proportions, but thanks for an awesome class.,
I got the wrong proportions, but it was a great exercise!
