I've also made it a point to go to an sketch club once a week for a few hours of figure drawing

I have been doing a hour and a half of daily drawing exercises. It used to be half and hour of gesture followed by an hour of one minute cartoons. I changed this to half an hour of gesture, then half an hour of trying to realistically render the human figure from imagination, right now in greyscale, then half an hour of minute cartoons
Gesture

I'm glad you're back Looney. I was immediately surprised when I saw your post on my reading list. Sounds like all those studies have been doing you a whole lot of good (I wish I could have done more studies last year, but school was taking up so much of my time). Do you think that book you plugged in your post would do me any good for my age though? I'm still 15, but it sounds so interesting from what you wrote about it.
Good to have you back and blogging.
At least you get your sketches out there and regularly take life drawing classes.
Those are things I haven't done in a long time.
Thanks for the comments guys. Now that I know people are reading I'll keep it up.
Roberto - As for you question about Figure Drawing: Design and Invention. I'm sure if you diligently studied the book it would improve your drawing ability, however for you I would Recommend Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. I read it for the first time when I was about your age and it really helped.
