Here are a few figure drawing and portrait drawing variations to make the hard stuff easier and more fun. It does so without copy work, without a demo, without examples, and without using those how to draw it proportion formulas and rules.

Self portraits are practiced directly on mirrors.

Three ways to practice figure drawing:

BLINDER BUDDY drawing
INSIDE OUT GESTURE
INVISIBLE FIGURE cross contour

See this web page for explanations.
