Marko can draw like this because he drew like that. He drew things from looking at them, and built up a visual library, so he knows exactly what to do. Apparently, he taught himself to do this as a child, under the impression that most artists draw from memory. Seriously, if you want to improve, draw from life.
@feral714 I think the mentality that he's trying to convey should be understood by early on as well. He's just saying not to abandon sensitivity and not to be too reckless or forceful with your lines as a lot of art school students have been taught to do. What he says I think will enhance expressiveness a lot. I think a single "incorrect" line is a lot better than a bunch of forceful lines that are all trying to describe one thing...
@SpeedyOJ then whatever mickey mouse art school you went to should be exposed so none of us go to it lol. honestly what he teaches here any good art school will teach you. furthermore he sketches the first drawing but draws and details the second drawing!!!
Process wise, I found combining the two to be the best way to approach figure drawing. First, lightly pencil in the art school method as a base for a guide on proportions and blocking in the figure, then refine the form by adding more intricate and curvy lines.
@feral714 that's a very good point man. this is not a good technique for beginners. actually the point of teaching the "art school" way (as marko puts it) is that it's an extremely common beginner's mistake to get caught up in details before really knowing the overall proportions or perspective of what one is drawing, and it ends badly just like you said. but probably at marko's level he could start by drawing the intricacies of a fingernail and still get good results.
this video wasn't about going straight to a finished line. You missed the entire point of his message. He was saying don't use forceful and fast drawn lines for your final lines, As it makes them to smooth and generic. Their should be more bumpiness and organic feel to your lines. He just demonstrated this really fast with his awesome drawing skills.
you should check out his DVD. He does 4 unique characters like that. He has been practising for a long time.
He started drawing from Hogarth's book when he was like 11.
Practice can make all the difference I guess. Because in the end I feel all the professional artist tend to just draw directly because of their perfect understanding of anatomy.
I think there's a place for both approaches. The importance of correct proportion cannot be denied. At the same time, the organic lines seen in the second example clearly have more character than the rigid ones in the first.
I've personally found success making a rapid, simplified underdrawing to block in proportions, then going over it with more deliberate nuanced lines. It's like building with blueprints and a scaffold as opposed to letting your tools take you where they will.
That's a good way to start, I think. I do the same - I'm not nearly good enough to be able to just draw it straight from my mind's eye like he does here. :)

but if you have no construction or guide lines how r u to achieve accurate proportions. this may be good for an arm but not for a correct full figure

agreement with fuzzywhisper 100%
i personally prefer to put very light lines down to establish my proportions before going over them with more pressure and careful strokes
however, marko's video certainly gave me invaluable insight. fantastic!

with practice... I guess the blocking in process can be done in your mind alone... it is anyway important for beginners.
