In struggling with Finch's character design, I'm realizing how sketchy (pun intended) my knowledge of anatomy actually is. So I've spent some time copying various figure studies and drawing from photographs, trying to better understand how things fit together. Hopefully this will increase my visual vocabulary and give integrity to Finch's design (and all of my work!) Not exactly the stuff that thrilling, glamorous blog-posts are made of, perhaps - but an important part of my process, nonetheless.
If you're interested in getting better at figure drawing, here are a couple of resources I'd recommend:
http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/#new (for gesture drawing)
http://www.pinterest.com/characterdesigh/ (incredible collection of anatomy studies and character design). Let me know if you have any questions and Happy Drawing!
