Robert Beverly Hale (1901-1985) was an anatomy instructor at the Art Students League. He was a student of George Bridgman. Like Bridgman, he drew his demos very large, using a piece of charcoal on the end of a long stick.

In the first video, there’s a long intro, so if you want to watch him drawing, skip ahead to 3:50.
