The Courage to Draw: Capturing Dynamic Figures.

Before you start to capture complex movements, sit back and analyze

everyday life poses.

The better you understand how volumes build a figure, the easier it

gets to draw more dynamic figures in perspective.

Grasp a figure through simplification: break its shape down

to volumes and you'll be able to depict it.

Don't just clarify the volumes: make the silhouette of the whole figure

stand out.

Use the volumes to seize and refine facial features, follow the same logic when adding surface layers like hair

and fabric. Make hair and tissue follow the body's movement

beneath, and you'll enhance the figure's depth.

The next level challenge: use your visual camera to place the figure in space, always in that motion from

simple volumes to complex shapes.

Make our fleeting world enter your drawing, feel the movement and

enjoy it, like Hokusai did.

From sketchy scribble to fine lineart: perspective draws us in, since we

live and move in space all life long.

From here, new challenges arise. (tbc:
