How to Draw: A Twist - Walkthrough (Patreon)

In this month's Gesture Breakdown the model is threading the needle in this common yoga pose and wonderful shoulder stretch that I recommend for all artists! It really stretches out the muscle tissue between the scapula and spine.

Quite a challenging pose...

Immediately I am seeing possible problems, like not having enough space for all that anatomy in one area, capturing believable depth on the floor plane and organising the forms in space.

But in this narrated draw through, I explain how to approach these challenges to set yourself up for the most successful attempt possible...but mistakes can still happen...as you will see

And i got a new toy - a little clip on microphone so I can do narrated tutorials at my drawing table!

Let me know what you think of this format, or if you prefer the old style.

I'd love to see your version on this pose too!
