Drawing Challenge: July 2024 (Patreon)

SPORTS!

It feels like there's suddenly so many major sports events on this month!

We got Wimbledon, the EuroCup and soon the Olympics!

Fun fact, it was actually some drawings I did of the 2016 Rio Olympics that lead to me being invited to teach Life Drawing for the first time! If you would like a sneak peek at some of those designs, head back to this week's Realtime Gesture Post to see them.

----------

For this month's Draw-along Challenge we're tackling... this super dynamic striking back view pose.

For action poses, try your best to understand what the action is, what is actually happening.

Where is the power coming from?

What is the previous moment and what is the next moment?

This will help you avoid drawing a stiff puppet in space and make the figure look like it's in motion.

Poses like this are a great opportunity to really lean into your exaggeration. Push and pull the pose to add more power and movement to the action.

----------

Draw the model in your style and if you'd like to share it and receive feedback along with your fellow patrons, you can share it in this Google Drive folder.

Be sure to include your name in the file name, so we know it's yours.

Submission deadline: TUESDAY 30TH JULY.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Have fun!
