Sketch Book for the Artist

Twist

The twist of a model is most easily and

expressively captured if it is exaggerated.

Most of us have a tendency to over-straighten

the drawn figure, and this should be avoided

Movement
Here, the activity of circular lines and the
repetition of limbs suggest movement. This
drawing shows how different observations
be overlaid to bring a drawing alive.

Tilt

A model standing on one leg usually drops

the opposite hip. The tilt of the pelvis is then

counter balanced by the model's shoulders

tilting the other way (as seen here).
