What's in Premium?
In the premium lesson on Drawing Figures with Gesture and Anatomy, you'll learn how to:
- Capture gesture to represent the figure's movement and energy using light, flowing lines.
- Indicate key anatomical landmarks like the spine, pelvis, and joints using simple shapes to establish proportions and alignment.
- Understand and visualize the figure's perspective, considering three-dimensional forms like the rib cage and pelvic box.
- Add muscles and anatomy over the structural forms, simplifying complex muscle groups into basic shapes.
- Emphasize pinches and stretches in muscle forms to enhance the figure's dynamism.
- Consider light and shadow when rendering to convey surface and volume effectively.
- Work holistically on the figure to maintain consistent proportions and a unified drawing.
- Integrate gesture and anatomy to create drawings that are both structurally sound and expressive.
