Drawing a 20 min pose

Learn to take your drawing beyond a fast sketch, and make a beautiful study of the figure in just 20 minutes. In this video I share my process for drawing a 20 minute pose, and how I use fast gesture to start out, and then slow down with a detailed contour line. This approach helps you to achieve accuracy, but also keep your dynamic and expressive lines. The finished drawing doesn't have to be photo-realistic to be a powerful and beautiful drawing. This approach is great to develop your mark making, as well as your observation. Hope you enjoy the video, and if you find it useful, let me know if the comments! :)
