How to draw figures!
1. Start with a gesture or action line to define the pose.
2. Suggest the rest of the pose with further gestures.
3. Refine the figure with more detail.
4. Break down crying, give up due to crushing shame because you can't seem to do it right anymore. You can't even manage these embarrassing attempts daily. You're hopeless.
I keep hearing progress isn't a straight line, but the bastard isn't even continuously differentiable. It feels more like -|Γ(z)| going left on the real axis, repeatedly almost reaching something positive before I fall back into an infinitely deep hole--slowly getting closer each time, yet never crossing the axis.
