Here's how I go about breaking down an unfamiliar art style! This goes for the painterly studies too, the method is always the same. No art school? No problem!

Step one: observation! What is being accented? What is the line quality like? What about colour? How true are the relative colours? How is form described, particularly soft plane changes? What about shadow? Liquify the subject! Move things around! It will 'break' and start to look wrong, why? At what point?

Step two: study! Copy a picture, directly, and from there slowly feel out how the form occupies three dimensional space based on presented information

Step three: extrapolate! Put everything done so far in a pureref file and then wing the shit out of it in a new, foreshortened pose

Step four: wait a while, a day or two, then look at your picture with fresh eyes. What was difficult? Why? Draw some more of those. Do this and old men shall be within your grisp, and perhaps even.... the world
