What this lesson is about
When we draw a reclining figure, a long run of options for the pose opens up. With a standing figure we have to have one (or two) supporting legs, but here we can bend the overall shape of the figure into far more variations.
The main thing stays the same, though — the big movement and the interaction of the pelvis with the ribcage.
In the lesson I talk about line, value, drawing the portrait, the accents and the overall feel of the drawing. Enjoy the watch! :)
