Fluid and poetic, the way anatomy should be. Every piece I've seen so far has been beautiful and extremely helpful. I am curious on where you began with your first sketches on the body and how you progressed.

Thank you for your question.
The skeleton is very important as a knowledge foundation.
Gesture and structure are the tools used when doing the drawings.
Thanks
Sheldon

Your videos are wonderful. I am very thankful that you have taken the time to show these drawing techniques. They have been extremely valuable to me. If I didn't live in Australia, I would enroll at Sheldon's Art Academy without hesitation.

Hey, i lke your videos. They helped me alot with my drawing techniques. I just spent a week at the Art Institute of Dallas fora teen workshop program, it was amazing. I got to animate and met new friends and i met a guy named Stephen Steinbeck who teaches there and worked at Warner Bros. He did tell me that i need to rough my drawings because, when i draw i want it to be done quickly and look nice and neat, but the problem is it takes too much time and it doesnt really help me, plus he told me that if i want to draw, i need to stay away from cartoons(Thats all i draw anyway) and draw realism and still life. I also need to make a portfolio of at least 20 drawings and more. So maybe i should start right now.

Hello
I am really having a lot of fun producing the new videos.
We are going to pull out all the stop and cover the
hidden secrets.
Many of the artists that I have had the luck of studying with are
No longer alive.
It is very important that we pass this information on.
We will make this available by the end of this summer.
And affordable.
Thank you very much for your interest.
