Let me walk you through how to draw a foreshortened figure using a rhythm-first approach. We focus on gesture, anatomy, and how to use camera distortion in a creative way. I explain tools like the mermaid’s net, go over the key muscles and bones, and talk about exaggerating forms to make the rhythm and clarity stronger. The goal is to draw with feeling and trust your instincts.

I'm proud of you for joining this quest to become a better artist. After completing all 15 hours, you are already improved. What's next? Go back and do it again with love, understanding that it's not a chore but part of who you are. When you enjoy the process, nothing is hard. Love every line and tone, and use it to fuel your best work. This is a bridge between all workshops, and embracing the power of simple shapes will make you a brilliant artist. I look forward to seeing your future work. Good luck!

Now, let's get into render heaven. When you know what you're rendering, it's pure joy. It's all about understanding the shapes underneath, how they link together, and how they flow beautifully. Rendering becomes fun when you grasp this. We'll spend more time on it, focusing on edges and lost edges, it's a fight worth fighting. Remember to practice! Repeat the basics over and over until you're ready to move on. Embrace the process, enjoy yourself, and get lost in the flow. Good luck with your art!

This lesson, it's all about light and the lightness of touch in our drawings. Let's lighten our grip by 50% and see how that changes our lines. We're focusing on how light falls and affects our lines and tones. We'll experiment with mixing styles, like combining male and female attributes in figures, and playing with metaphors to inspire new approaches. Remember to enjoy the process, draw plenty, and embrace the joy of creating. Practice makes perfect, so let's keep drawing and loving every minute of it.

We're drawing limber limbs in this lesson, embracing flow and getting gestural. Let's shake off the shackles of structure; while it's important, we don't want to show those mechanics overtly. I use mnemonics to simplify complex forms, thinking of the rib cage as a tube with an egg around it makes it easier to draw. Drawing from different angles and practicing helps internalize patterns. Remember, simplicity is key, and ego can kill art. Enjoy the process, give your characters a story, and keep the joy in your art.

Don't panic! It's foreshortening time, my favorite way to draw because it overflows with rhythm and joy. Foreshortened figures are dynamic, filled with movement, and easier to navigate in terms of proportions. Drawing with broad strokes and rhythm frees you up, and it's okay to let accuracy take a backseat to gesture and energy. Remember, every line is an exploration, so don't let erasing hold you back. Embrace the challenge, enjoy the process, and keep pushing your drawings to new heights!

Embrace drawing hands instead of fearing it. Practice from different angles, focusing on structure and anatomy. The hand is like a figure, it's full of emotion and movement. Use simple shapes; think of fingers as tubes or sticks that bend. Pay attention to how fingers, knuckles, and joints relate. When overwhelmed, draw something familiar, then return to hands with fresh eyes. Keep drawing, and soon you'll love drawing hands.

We're drawing fuller figures to feel the gravity of these marvelous shapes. Embrace the process and celebrate bad drawings as they teach you as much as the good ones. As you practice, your work becomes more fluid and confident. Don't fear AI; actual intelligence and art will always endure. Focus on feeling the volume and emotion in your drawings. Improve your motor memory by drawing regularly. Keep your portfolio strong by including only your best work, and enjoy the journey of becoming a better artist.

I've discovered that using mnemonics and memory clues transformed my ability to remember and enjoy drawing. Learning about Henry Molaison, who lost his hippocampus but retained procedural memory, showed me the power of repetition. Practicing drawing repeatedly feeds my "internal art engine" and enhances my skills and cognitive health. Despite my troubled education and struggles with math, I've found success in art through passion, persistence, and unique memory strategies.

Let's get some magic mileage and take agency, you are the boss. You've been drawing all your life, so have confidence in your hand. I'll stop spoon-feeding landmarks; instead, find them yourself. Think of the iliac crest like a tub tilted towards you, high at the back, low at the front. If something doesn't work, toss it and keep what does. Don't fixate on mistakes; learn from them. Surround yourself with other artists, take breaks, and enjoy drawing. Let's grow together and draw our heads off!
