In this lesson, I'll show you how to capture dynamic gesture and flow in a complex foreshortened pose. We’ll tackle essential techniques for observing and breaking down challenging perspectives, analyzing the angles and capturing the specific rhythms of the pose. You’ll see the importance of finding the overall flow before rendering details and how directional lines, thoughtful mark-making, and an understanding of anatomy allows us to bring energy and motion to a pose. There’s even some tips for conveying depth and foreshortening with a few strategic decisions.

Struggling with drawing dynamic figures? This is part 1 of a 2-part series where I unravel the "secret sauce" to capturing any pose, from any angle…Rhythms.

I'll teach you how to start your sketches and make every part of the body feel connected. We’ll focus on visual alignments and flow between the forms, helping you move beyond disjointed and stiff figure drawings.
Check back next week for Part 2 - I’ll cover the rhythms of the arms and legs!

Critique piece by artstation.com/nekidesign
Scott Flanders is back with another Monster Lab critique! In this lesson, he looks through student submissions from his “Shapecarving” assignment. He gives advice on the technique of shape carving in concept art, emphasizing the importance of simplifying shadows and using less detail to convey form.
For the rest of this summer a percentage of all Scott’s print sales will be donated to Maui fire relief efforts in Lahaina - shapecarver.gumroad.com and 100% of proceeds from the sale of this print will be donated to the Maui Strong Fund - shapecarver.gumroad.com/l/BeautyandtheBeast2?layout=profile

A really important part of improving your observation skills is increasing the speed and frequency of feedback. While feedback from an instructor is great, that might not always be an option. In this demo, I'm going to show you how to take a drawing that you did and compare it with a photograph on your iPad in Procreate so that you can check your accuracy and increase the speed of your feedback loop and improve faster.
