I'm obsessed with the human figure.  The only positive feature out of this curious attraction is I'm using it to help my art.  I'm really bad at drawing anatomically-correct figures (ex. hands, feet, head, torso [lopsided], etc.) and whilst watching people on TV, I'm slowly working on getting those hands down (my fingers are sometimes too long, or too fat---or the hand just doesn't turn out as a hand, but a circle with a large group of sausages =P).  Luckily, the human figure is based on circles, so it's easy for me to draw with a skeletal outline.

Just a question, how many other people are like this (even somewhat amazed)?  Pardon my bad English.
With me, it's horses. With my son, dolphins. It took a lot of drawing to make my horses look presentable!
When I used to draw I never could get a human down. But I could do the most realistic detailed mountain scenery or city skyline drawings most people ever saw. I am way more interested in drawing unique patterns, humans never interested me so I never drew them.
