Reilly Technique Drawing Demos

Donelli J. DiMaria has posted two drawing demonstrations on youtube (www.youtube.com/DJDiMaria) that were used in a workshop that he taught in Albuquerque, NM (Apr.-May 2008). With this technique based on the teachings of Frank Reilly (Art Students League-NYC 1935-1965), full figures can be draw in less than ten minutes. The running time for the posted videos is approximately five minutes or less for each.
