Hey everyone! In this drawing course I’ll be showing you how to sketch dynamic poses. I’ll be breaking this course down into four lessons, each covering a different aspect of the course subject that will allow you to improve your poses from stiff to smooth-flowing and dynamic. The lessons are Identifying the line of action, the basics of gesture, applying foreshortening in a pose, and drawing poses in perspective.
Figure Drawing: The GSL Method for Drawing Dynamic Poses
https://www.skillshare.com/classes/Figure-Drawing-The-GSL-Method-for-Drawing-Dynamic-Poses/832392373
Drawing people can be very intimidating -- especially in dynamic poses! The most common mistake in figure drawing for beginners is starting with the outline instead of the action, resulting in stiff looking poses. Instead, we'll learn how to draw a figure from the inside out, starting with the action using the GSL method.
Learn to draw people in energetic poses, play with proportions and find your own illustration style as we walk through the fundamentals of creating dynamic poses, from sketch to finished artwork.
Drawing people in dynamic poses is super interesting for creatives, but it’s also challenging. We want to get the overall shape right and communicate an engaging personality with your illustration. In this class you will do both! We start with building a foundation of drawing energetic poses from observation, and develop the sketches into stylized dynamic dancer poses. By the end of class you’ll be able to communicate that sense of movement in your final dancer project. We talk about style through an active discovery process. Helping you to identify your individual illustration style is a big part of this class.

Drawing Dynamic Hands

In my latest Skillshare video tutorials, I'm going to be walking you through my artistic visual approach to drawing dynamic hand poses! Hands can be challenging, especially if you're a beginner or only have some experience drawing them. If you often struggle with figuring out how to best approach starting a sketch, you're in the right place. This course will be broken up into 7 separate video lessons, each one focusing on a different hand pose - some male, some female. In each video I use a photo reference found online to outline my approach and to show you how you can take the same steps to learn how to draw any hand pose. With practice, time, and patience, you'll be able to turn your hand drawing skills into a strength like I did! At the end of the 7 lessons, I threw in a bonus lesson 8, which features a few previously-drawn character poses with emphasis on the hand gestures. Here I'll explain these gestures in context and how they help convey the actions of the characters.
Perhaps the most subtle and fleeting aspect of portraiture is the complex variety of facial expressions that portray human emotions. In this class students will learn how the features change to convey a convincing smile expression. This class, which is for artists of all levels, will cover the fundamentals of the construction and anatomy of the eyes, nose and mouth, the proportions of the face, as well as the subtle and fleeting nuances that affect the features to portray a smiling expression. I'll walk you through the stages starting with blocking in the basic proportions of the face, then mapping in the shadow patterns, and finally moving to refinements. You can use any materials you'd like in this class. By the end you will have a solid understanding of how to render the dynamic smiling facial expression.
