Struggling with drawing dynamic figures? This is part 1 of a 2-part series where I unravel the "secret sauce" to capturing any pose, from any angle…Rhythms. Inspired by my journey from failed CalArts applications to teaching at Pixar, this episode dives into mastering the rhythms of the head, neck, and torso.
I'll teach you how to start your sketches and make every part of the body feel connected. We’ll focus on visual alignments and flow between the forms, helping you move beyond disjointed and stiff figure drawings.
Check back next week for Part 2 - I’ll cover the rhythms of the arms and legs!
