Drawing Characters in Perspective and with Foreshortening

In this class, we will cover various techniques for drawing the body in perspective. You will also learn how to draw the body with foreshortening. These methods are essential to helping you draw more energetic and dynamic poses for your comics or figure drawing.

We will go through individual exercises on drawing the human figure in 1, 2, and 3 Point Perspective. This will allow you to construct the body from various angles.

We will then create an arm pose coming out towards the viewer so that you can learn how to foreshorten the anatomy on the primitive shapes.

These techniques have helped me to better understand the body in perspective and I hope they do the same for you!

Art files are attached to the  Class Project section.

Thank you for your support and good luck with your art! :)
