I loved this class: we worked on the full figure, with long 6-hours life drawing sessions every week. We learned how to construct a figure analytically, starting with blocks for the pelvis, rib cage and skull.
Eric was a great teacher, he guided us through bone points and muscle groups, but it wasn’t just theory. The point of his assignments was being able to internalize this knowledge and apply it from memory in new situations.

My first 6-hours long life drawing
Another long pose
Reverse engineering - skeleton
First rendering on gray paper
Reverse engineering - muscles
From life, with a gesture from imagination
...muscles again
Rendered with etching
Variant from imagination
Easel turned in the opposite direction of the model
Life drawing, reclined pose
Same pose, fast one from a different angle
