In this course you'll learn to capture any pose from any angle using rhythms, the flowing lines that connect the body parts into one unified idea instead of a pile of disconnected pieces. You'll break the head, neck, shoulders, torso, legs, arms, hands and feet down into their simplest rhythms, from the front, the back, the side, and the awkward in between angles that usually stop you cold. You'll learn to balance gesture with structure so your figures feel alive without turning into noodle people, and to place your lines with intention so proportions hold up even when you're drawing fast.
It's built around practice, not theory. You get example poses to draw from, rhythm templates to fall back on, demos at two difficulty levels, and honest critiques of real student work, so you can watch the mistakes you're making get fixed on the page.
