3 Tips to Jump Start Your Figure Drawing

In this video I share 3 major tips to jump start your drawing practice. If you’ve been out of practice, or haven’t drawn in a while, or if you are experiencing a drawing block, these simple tips will help you to get back to figure drawing quickly!
Above all, the most important thing in your practice is to have the feeling of being connected to your drawing, rather than wanting to make a proper finished drawing. So these 3 tips are aimed at helping you to loosen up and feel comfortable and confident making loose, gesture sketches. You can think of these as “warm ups” but i feel they are as important as finished drawings!
Hope you enjoy the video! :)
