Drawing Dancing Characters: Illustrate Energetic and Dynamic Poses in Procreate

.


Drawing people in dynamic poses is super interesting for creatives, but it's also challenging. We want to get the overall shape right and communicate an engaging personality with your illustration. In this class you will do both! We start with building a foundation of drawing energetic poses from observation, and develop the sketches into stylized dynamic dancer poses. By the end of class you'll be able to communicate that sense of movement in your final dancer project. We talk about style through an active discovery process. Helping you to identify your individual illustration style is a big part of this class.
The class is based on a personal DANCERS project. DANCERS is a series of illustrations with female characters in energetic and dynamic poses. I think that women in positive self expression are a powerful image.

Share the projects you've created in class with friends and followers, print your project and hang in your workspace! Check out my DANCERS on Instagram and available prints in my shop.
Throughout the class I share tips & strategies from my drawing process in Procreate. The class is structured as a series of lessons followed with fun exercises, designed to gradually build your confidence and skills of illustrating people. I invite you to take the time to practice each step along with me in class.
