Improve Existing Drawings with Accents

So you leave a life drawing session with a handful of drawings: Some are suckers, but a few have potential if only you had more time in that pose. But what if you could fix up these drawings even though the pose is over and the session has ended?

In this video, you’ll learn how to use accents to emphasize specific areas of a drawing, helping it appear more complex and interesting. You don’t need to add any new information to a drawing to improve it… you just need to create clarity about what visual information is most important!

This drawing was done from life here at School of Realist Art before I used it in this example.
