    There are some people with freakishly good spatial reasoning. I have to lay down 10 lines before getting even close. Love your drawing btw

      A cool exercise we used to do in art school was to draw a subject for 5 minutes or so without looking at the drawing or picking up our drawing implement. It really helps with breaking down the subject matter into shapes/lines.

        Not saying you studied in Korea. But back when I kept an art instagram account I followed a lot of accounts that posted figure drawing. It seems that Korea has a really strong community of figure drawers, a bunch of accounts I followed were from there. And I saw a few post drawings using that exact technique you explained.
