Drawing figures from imagination when it's a struggle

**Stay connected by getting on my insider's list at the bottom of: https://www.carolinpeters.com and get first dibs on tattoo appointments, art prints, and more ** If you can draw the figure from reference images and from the live model but you struggle with drawing figures from imagination this video will show you the next exercise you should focus on. In it I demonstrate how understanding the correct placement of the three major masses (head, rib cage, pelvis) is the foundation for starting any pose from your memory. You will also learn how simple landmark indications help the viewer understand the orientation of each pose. This is the foundation to the popular bean-drawing method. Watch me demonstrate several sample poses and how mastering this skill leads to fun, playful sketches from imagination. Materials I use in this video: Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils on Strathmore Sketch Paper Assignment: Find a few reference images and deconstruct it into the three major masses and their landmarks. Walk away, put away your drawings and reference images and see if you can construct one of the poses from memory, by starting with the three major masses. ** MENTORSHIP** Want to work with me to reach your personal drawing goals?
