Day 69: Tutorials by Neil Fontaine (Learn2draw)

So this is one of those channels that I threw into my watch later bin and never really got around to before now.  On the plus side the host posts regularly, has decent content, and there is a structured course on Udemy.  On the downside, this is one of those one take styles where you get advice direct from the artists mouth.  So there are some tangents involved which don't really have anything to do with drawing.

On to the links.

How to draw the female figure from your mind -- no references

This is the video that caught my attention because he's using Manga Studio EX.  The tutorial on laying out the human skeleton is more of a refresher for me at this point, so I mainly focused on which preferences he was playing with and how to use rulers in the program.

If you're still working on drawing a skeleton and getting the proportions right, this is a pretty decent approach.

Lesson Story Structure and Plot 1-12

I segued into this video from the female figure just to see if it would shed any light on my current script writing process.  I picked up on a new concept of breaking the plot down by turning points, which seems rougher version of using a beat sheet.  I plan to watch through the rest of his lessons on story structure just to make sure I understand the process he's using.  From the first lesson it seems like a pretty solid approach.
