Sketch Tutorial - Using Foreshortening

Summary (Artistic Techniques & Creative Process)

The video tutorial demonstrates how to sketch a dynamic pose using foreshortening by emphasizing perspective principles and proportion. The example character is flying toward the viewer in a front view, with an extended arm and clenched fist, creating a strong sense of depth.

Key Concepts Shown

• Foreshortening for figure drawing
• Perspective fundamentals
• Proportion adjustment based on distance to the viewer
  • The fist (closest) is the largest part of the figure.
  • The feet (furthest) are the smallest part of the figure.

Steps / Process (Conceptual)

• Keep in mind two pillars when applying foreshortening:
  • Perspective
  • Proportions
• Use the pose reference:
  • Character is moving toward the viewer from a front view
  • Extend the arm forward with a clenched fist
• Scale body parts by distance:
  • Closest object → largest
  • Farthest object → smallest
