Anatomy sketches and studies by illustrator James Ng.
Another artist with a great style and a captivating way of presenting his drawings. Russian artist Rim Umyarov wears many hats, this is a list of what he does: Teaches art, artist, designer, architect, art author, graffiti artist, airbrush artist, international tattoo artist. What attracted my attention are his drawings, almost realistic, with a how to draw in the margin; showing a couple of steps to demonstrate the progression. Sketches of everyday objects made very charming thanks to the arrangement of the drawings and the tone of the paper, which helps give it that lovely vintage look. Ps. I gave the images some titles.

If you're looking for human anatomy drawing ideas and pose references, I'm sharing some pretty cool anatomy references for you to check out.
A great way of showing a drawing progression form concept to realistic. Korean Artist anjjaemi aka Design Gogh uses a pencil to produce multiple iterations on one specific subject. These drawing studies explore different stages of the reference but also various techniques and approaches. From a rough sketch, to a finished piece steeped in realism. I hope that the progression of you coming week gets better and better like these drawings to culminate in a realistically amazing finale. See more of anjjaemi's works HERE. Ps.

Realistic Pencil Portraits
Drawing studies of animals and humans in coloured ink illustrations. The following is how Artist Samet Turkan introduces himself: "I'm a 25yo artist based in Istanbul. I'm studying painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Çanakkale." He was asked so many questions about art, that he started a Patreon account. Here he gives examples and creates videos to explain the various aspects needed to create art. Samet has different price entry levels that deal with different and specific styles. On this page, the image I like t the most is the drawing study of the lions. It's not for the power that most people are attracted to or its royal status. I really like the expression he is able to give each animal. Different in each one and showcasing the best visual aspects of this amazing creature. Have a look through this post and see which one you gravitate towards. Ps. I gave the images some titles. For more of Turkan's work here on DesignStack, press this LINK. Elephant drawing study.

Pencil Portraits and Design Studies
Seoul-based artist WanJin Gim illustrates the form and gesture of the human body using complex hatched layers of color and dramatic lighting. He adds intrigue to poses that could be considered traditional figure drawing studies by adding abstracted lines and watercolor washes that integrate the fragmented body parts into a larger visual field. In an interview with Trending All Day, the artist describes his inspiration and process: I’m interested in expressing body temperature and skin smell and am studying the relationship between color and energy (Qi) for my work… Currently I usually use oil pastel and colored pencils.
