What's in Premium?

In this lesson, we push our figure invention skills by starting with a reference and creating distinctly different poses. Instead of just drawing the same pose from a different angle, we imagine new stories and explore how things might be different. We experiment with concepts like imbalance, failure, and surprise to make our figures dynamic and expressive. By emphasizing diagonals and exploring different stages of an action, we add movement and emotion to our drawings. This approach encourages us to have fun with invention and let our imaginations run wild.
