Discover an alternative approach to gesture drawing by emphasizing shape and part before applying gesture and perspective. This method simplifies the figure into basic forms, enhancing your ability to construct poses with depth and movement.
You'll learn how to:
- Start with the head shape and add the neck as a connecting part.
- Construct the torso using simplified shapes, considering tilt, pinch, and stretch.
- Attach the limbs by focusing on their gesture and how they connect to the body.
- Use overlaps and wrapping lines to convey depth and perspective.
- Practice this approach with different poses and viewpoints.
- Apply tips to improve proportions and flexibility in your drawings.
