Hello Dear Reader,

Today I want to share a couple of sketches - that show my figure drawing practice. Here are the key steps:

1. Use good reference - I prefer to find good quality photos on Pinterest

2. Draw the skeletal structure/gesture first - with a thin, light coloured pen or pencil.

3. Detailed Line Drawing (mostly outline) next - with a darker and thicker pen or pencil.

4. Add values if needed - using some mid and dark tones, drawn with a brush pen.

5. Don’t worry about finish/quality - these are for practice and should not take more than a few minutes.

Here are a couple of examples sketched a couple of days ago…

Happy Arting,

Bye,

Abhishek (artnoob)
