Draw A Dog: Practice Foreshortening & Observation Skills (L3, 3h 8m)

  • Course
  • 26 Lessons

In this tutorial I'll take you through two different ways to start a drawing, with a focus on capturing foreshortening. Foreshortening is when the length of a subject is distorted due to the angle it is viewed from. We'll practice: • starting with a simple grid • starting with construction lines • shading light coloured fur Suitable for people who already have some observation and proportion skills.
