“Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.” Leonardo da Vinci
BridBridgman figure drawings are simplified, but also incredibly complex, and trying to understand how he approaches anatomy can be frustrating for artists. My old teacher, Jeff Watts, recently authored a book where he breaks down Bridgman’s work in a way that’s accessible for students. In this video you’ll get a sneak preview of the book: Watts on Bridgman with some of Jeff’s Drawings and a demo of his techniques from the Bridgman book and course.
Along with the students and instructors in a classroom setting, I also collaborate with them to create online instructional videos, demos, and promotional pieces:
Erik Gist of Watts Atelier did the drawing of me in Zombie makeup and costume for a Friday night online session. On the left is the behind the scenes and finished drawing, while on the right is a three hour demo (the usual length of a class session) starting with the figure lay-in to completion. This is one pose for the duration of the time. Session is complete with a Q&A session for a one on one with the artist and instructor.

A previous instructor of Watts Atelier Stan Prokopenko has been very successful with his own instructional website. We worked together to create a few of the following videos and drawings.
I have had the pleasure of working with and creating this demo piece with artist Ken Goldman, featuring a page of multiple poses. (2-15 minute quick sketches).
To left are the finished drawings and video which is also featured in 3-D on You-Tube with compatible devices.
