Sketching a person engaged in activity not only creates a visually captivating scene but also instantly transports viewers into the heart of a narrative. In this workshop, we'll delve into the art of finding and drawing characters that feel organic, alive, and relatable. We will explore strategies for showing movement from capturing the flow of fabric and hair to implying motion through dynamic posing and composition. We will be covering realistic proportions, gestural drawing, and tricks for showing movement and personality.
