Truth be told there is nothing simple about it, but it sure looks like it is.

Doesn't look like much does it? This is one of my favourite drawings from my weekly visit to Life Drawing Studio. My favourite study because for the first time I actually felt I was able to depict a back  with simple lines.

A humorous but GREAT approach to teaching human proportion for figure drawing.

Practice! Practice! Practice!
and I like the advice of this artist Paul Foxton on Effective Practice.

Paul has a GREAT site, Learning to See, which is a practical guide to better drawing.

I'll send you some good links if I find any.
