Learn to draw dynamic figures by focusing on movement and asymmetry. This lesson explores how to use offset curves and apexes to create rhythm in your drawings, making them more engaging. You'll discover how to represent body parts with simple lines—using C-curves, S-curves, and wrapping lines—to convey form and perspective.

We'll walk through steps for gesture drawing, starting with the head and spine, adding the pelvis, limbs, and feet, all while emphasizing rhythm and movement. You'll also learn to adjust and personalize your approach, practicing with different views to enhance your figure drawing skills.
