Drawing tips
- Start with the line of action, one curve from head to supporting foot, before adding any limbs.
- Find what carries the weight (feet, knees, hips or hands) and check that the center of gravity sits over it.
- Compare the shoulder line and hip line: in relaxed poses they tilt in opposite directions.
