ABOUT THIS LESSON

How do you stop your characters looking stiff and two dimensional? The answer is 'Gesture'. And that's what we'll be learning about next in tonight's Live Lesson, as pro comic artist Dan Lawlis joins us to teach 'Figure Drawing With Gesture'.

When it comes to drawing characters with powerful poses that pack a visual punch, Dan is your man, a pro comic artist who has worked for the biggest studios in the industry on the comics you know and love!

During this class, he'll walk you through his step-by-step method for sketching down energetic poses that really do feel like they're moving on the page.

Then you'll see exactly how he takes that gestural foundation and uses it to build out a full figure on top - start to finish.
