Learn to Draw Dynamic Figures in Motion
This course builds on students current figure drawing knowledge by observing anatomy at work and at play. Students will study the relationships across different muscle groups in motion. Classes will also include the study of relaxation vs tension and the use of balance, counter balance and gravity to bring drama to drawings of figures in action.
Broad actions will be reduced to a series of poses to isolate key gestures within the action. The range of motion of limbs will also be studied, as will animation "bounce and stretch" logic as applied to the figure. Poses will range from 2 to 25 minutes and will combine gesture drawing skill and constructive knowledge to bring extreme action to life.
