actually on that; i feel like if i ever did get my own figure class and not just as a TA i wouldnt even change very much from how i learned. the first models i learned how to draw were a woman who was fat and then a very very old woman, and then an older/middle aged man and a shorter but sturdy person. learning how to draw body fat, wrinkles, skin sag and fat folds means you can draw almost any human figure because at the end of the day thats what we are all made of. and bones of course
