Patrick Jones walks you through drawing a foreshortened figure using a rhythm-first approach, focusing on gesture, anatomy, and how camera distortion can be used creatively. He explains tools like the mermaid’s net, breaks down key muscles and bones, and encourages exaggeration to enhance clarity and rhythm. It’s all about drawing with feeling and trusting your instincts.
