Description I kind of wish I didn't have to pick between traditional and digital for this (aren't things like Anatomy and Perspective kind of useful in both?) but I went with Traditional since that's what I do.

Pose is in the gallery here:


You can find more perspective and foreshortening poses in my gallery in this folder !

Pardon spelling mistakes and general rambling. I promised *shuu-bunni I'd make one of these.

DON'T FEAR THE FORESHORTENING! ATTACK IT WITH VIGOR!

Thank you SO much for this! I'm sick of always drawing the same sort of poses and perspectives just because I'm too scared to try anything else. I had no idea even where to begin. But this aids a lot in giving me a general idea as to what will help me, so thank you! <3

This is a wonderful tutorial!! I have heard some of these tips from different art teachers, but to have them all in one place is awesome. You're so right about wanting to draw the forms we know and not the ones we see.

Oh it's SO annoying lol xD Still do it even though I should "know" better ;D

wonderful! In the 5 years I've been studying art, not one teacher has ever actually explained foreshortening to me; I get it now, and thank you so much for making this tutorial! I'll be sure to link my friends to your page

I had one really good live drawing instructor in college. It's amazing how less complicated it becomes when someone explains the 'secret'
