How To Foreshorten The Human Figure

Foreshortening is a tough perspective principle to master - yet it's one of the most powerful tools we have as comic artists!

Effective foreshortening can take our characters from looking flat and boring, to popping off the page with impact! It introduces three-dimensional depth and dimension to the poses we give them, and makes our work more visually engaging.

In this lesson you'll learn what foreshortening is, how it works, and learn a simple approach to execute it effectively. By the end of the lesson you'll be able to take full advantage of everything foreshortening can offer your drawings.
