This lesson encouraged me and now I am hooked on how to improve movement (progressing slowly)

LESSON NOTES

Peter Han explores capturing the essence of motion and energy in sketches, focusing on a baseball throwing pose. Through a series of sketches, Peter iterates on pose and dynamism, moving from basic positioning to more expressive forms. The demo covers technical aspects like anatomy and perspective, alongside the challenge of infusing sketches with the illusion of motion. It also contains insights from Peter and his reflections on balancing technical skill with creative expression that highlight the journey towards achieving a more dynamic depiction of action.

Join me as I explore how to capture motion and energy through sketches, moving beyond technical skills to express feeling.

Thank you for speaking on this stuff. Ironically enough around the 13 minute point of the video when you talk about being locked into technicalities that are taught in school like vanishing points, perspective grids, proportion etc, I got a lot of that from I guess what would be considered 'constructive drawing' from Draw A Box and other stuff. Spent my first couple of years being unable to conceive of drawing as anything but having to draw things as a correct shape shape to warp or construct on within a correct perspective and perfect lines- and have spent the last couple trying to break down those habits and ya know, actually draw. That kind of stuff does have a time and place but for as much as it's emphasized and repeated by educators online, it really can get in the way of the process of learning.
