The image is not showing up. Do you have the image posted on a Deviantart account or Blog?

You are most welcome! Always try to work from the inside out. It really helps to get your proportions and pose down faster.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm always happy to help.

No worries, you do not need to have an instagram account to view the images.

The sample above, if you click through the images you will see the progression of an extended drawing.
This was done in pen as a demo. Usually, I would take a little longer to nail down the proportions and draw in pencil to lift unneeded pencil marks as the drawing progresses.

Hi Bijelle,

Have you tried the box method for drawing the head?
Basically, you use a rectangular cube to place the head in perspective and then place the features on measured out points on the cube.
It is a bit easier than trying to use the sphere method.

I have posted my instagram link below with a sample of what I am talking about.

Hi Anya,
When you do a longer study you have more time to analyse the object or figure you are drawing.
So when you do this you want to spend the first 5 to 10 mins(depending on the length of the study) to "set up" your drawing. What this does is gives you a solid foundation to build a beautiful extended study that does not get awkwardly cropped off because of poor placement on the page.

To start off your extended study, draw a loose light gesture to place the figure on the page and get the flow of the pose down.
Next, you want to start finding the directions of the major body masses and lightly sketching them in with just a simple straight line.
Moving on you start building up the body masses with either blocks or cylinders(keeping it light so you can keep building the drawing), always measuring distance and watching the negative space around your subject.
From this stage, you can start to add in your anatomy, minor/placements of details, and begin to block in some rough tones. At this point, you should be near the end of your drawing and should be tightening up your details and shading.

This is just a basic walkthrough of setting up an extended study. If you want an example of the process I can like you to my instagram account. I hope this helps out a little. Sorry if I sounded a little too much like I was lecturing you. I just really love teaching life drawing and would be happy to help out in any way if you have any questions.
