In this lesson, I'll show you how to capture dynamic gesture and flow in a complex foreshortened pose. We’ll tackle essential techniques for observing and breaking down challenging perspectives, analyzing the angles and capturing the specific rhythms of the pose. You’ll see the importance of finding the overall flow before rendering details and how directional lines, thoughtful mark-making, and an understanding of anatomy allows us to bring energy and motion to a pose. There’s even some tips for conveying depth and foreshortening with a few strategic decisions.
