Figure Drawing

Tuesday August 1, 2006
Rachel's sketchblog reminded me of how fundamental figure drawing is to most areas of creative work. Games, graphic novels, animated features, any form of storytelling in a visual medium will generally focus on human (or humanoid!) stories. So if you want to work in these fields, you'd better get to a life drawing class and study your anatomy.

Thanks Helen, this is very helpful and I am surprised at how a wrong angle or curve can put the whole drawing out. As I practice the examples I can see where I have been going wrong.
