Well sometimes's google is your friend ;-)

He does have an official channel on youtube but they are mainly silent demos rather than lectures but they may help.

Without having a real teacher who can give you feedback then knowing if you are doing it right or not is always going to be a problem. You just have to use your best judgement and don't get bogged down second guessing. Just keep trying.

Looking at your skulls I would say you are being far too deliberate in your line making here. Unlike drawabox you need to be more sketchy and loose initially. Do them with a regular pencil, or even better a col-erase blue pencil. Watch a few animators work, they always start loose with their design and then refine when they have something they like.

This is an alternative channel which I have only just discovered and it is very, very good.

You will see some of this type of loose sketching here.

I haven't looked into the channels yet but your advise helps a lot, thank you

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
