How to draw & sketch people part 3 | In this pen and ink and life and figure drawing tutorial we take a close look at how to block-in the figure when sketching or drawing the human figure or people. We examine some key concepts and techniques to keep in mind and practice to get the most out of blocking-in. Blocking in addresses proportion, and capturing the whole, enveloping shape that contains the figure.

The key is to look for the big and simple shapes that contain the whole pose.

This tutorial is part of a series of sketching and drawing the figure with pen and ink or any other drawing instrument you may feel comfortable using.
