About This Course

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for beginners that would like to take their character drawing a step further. Some of these techniques are intermediate but still easy to understand.

What you’ll learn: 

  • Draw the human figure with more confidence and precision.
  • Create dynamic figure drawings quicker and more effectively.
  • Understand how to draw the various body parts from memory.

Requirements: 

  • Students will need a basic understanding of drawing and an open mind.

This is a basic approach to figure drawing. I will share techniques that I have used over the years to create comic book illustrations and storyboards for television. You will learn how to systematically break down the various parts of the body into simpler shapes. As I illustrate each area step by step you will follow along and learn from my studies. This will give you insight into how I create my artwork and create poses from the mind. I also share what techniques I use to improve my knowledge of the human form. Things like gesture drawings, timed studies of the pose, negative space drawing, foreshortening, perspective, organic versus angular lines, and much more.

You will also be given a copy of the art files as a downloadable PDF that I have created here so that you can work along and study from them.

By the end of this course, you should be more confident in constructing your figure drawings from the mind and have a better understanding of the human form.

You also get the Bonus lecture on How to Draw and Shade Muscular arms. In those lessons I go over 3 different arm poses with various rendering techniques.

The tips and tricks from this course will make the process of drawing complex body poses much easier to accomplish. Good luck with your art!
