Master the art of capturing human form and expression through figure drawing. Drawing people teaches proportion, anatomy, gesture, and emotion—fundamental skills that improve all your artwork. Start with basic shapes and proportions (head is 1/8 of body height), practice gesture drawings to capture movement, then refine details in facial features and hands. Use references from life, photos, or pose libraries. Figure drawing builds observation skills while creating meaningful portraits of friends, family, or imagined characters.
