What's in Premium?

In the premium lesson on Understanding Weight, Balance, and Proportions in Figure Drawing, we dive into essential concepts that enhance your figure drawings. You'll learn to start with the gesture and focus on the idea, capturing the essence rather than just copying the subject.

We introduce weight and balance, crucial for achieving naturalistic realism. You'll explore the eight parts of the body—head, rib cage, pelvis, spine, two arms, and two legs—and understand their organization.

The lesson guides you through creating a proportion chart, a practical tool for mapping the figure. You'll gain insights into the structure of the rib cage and pelvis, the spine's curvature, and how these elements contribute to the body's balance.

Discover how asymmetry and design in the limbs add dynamism to your drawings. We discuss gender differences in proportions and their impact on the figure's character.

By understanding these principles, you'll improve your gesture drawings, comprehend the importance of form, and avoid common proportion errors.
