Thanks for including some of Glen Orbik's quicksketches! Jeff has spoken many times on how beautifully simplistic his style was, so it's nice to finally see what he's talking about.
Jesus. Man some guys are crazy good. People always ask me why I'm not making a living as a musician. Theres a simple reason. Because there are millions of guys who are just insanely good at guitar. Just sick good. This guy is that way at art. Craxy
I simply don't get what you guys see in Bridgman's drawings. They are hideous, primitive, and amateurish. You, Eric, - and Jeff are so insanely great, accomplished artists - way better than Bridgman, so why waste your time on such an inferiour textbook / teaching material as Bridgman's? There are numerous of much better books out there on how to draw anatomy. Hope you don't mind I say that.
The drawings in Bridgman's book are poor scans that his students did of stuff he did with a long charcoal stick on a classboard. There's a reason every great artist loves the way Bridgman draws interlocking forms and powerful dynamic figures, sadly some ppl like yourself will always be too low IQ to get it.
