So here's what people type in and mysteriously get here.

how to sketch curvy women

I honestly don't know, I rarely do those.

how to draw eyes and lips

Try searching with quotes: "how to draw eyes", "how to draw lips".

what a fashion sketch should look like

From what I gather, there's no rule. It's important to show how the clothes looks, and people may resemble a hanger, no one will care.

how did michelangelo know how to draw the human body so well?

My guess is he devoted years of his time to study and practice, mainly drawing from life. Just a guess.

how to draw nude chicks

By looking at nude chicks.

lecture boring?

Indeed.

why lectures are boring

Because you're studying something that doesn't interest you. Or perhaps you are interested, but the teacher is so dull he manages to ruin it for everyone, as was the case with my programming class.

great nude chicks

I doubt you were happy with your find.

never

more.

...

I don't want those of you who came here for the sketches to feel cheated, so here's something abstract I did in ballpoint pen during the *sigh* lectures.
