Using your 18″x 24″ drawing pad and charcoal, draw a FULL BODY FIGURE in a dynamic pose. Use value and lighting to convey the forms.

What makes a pose dynamic? We should see action, movement, or interesting shapes in the human form. You can stage your own, or look at performers or athletes for ideas.

TIP: Try for poses that create triangles, whether it’s in the posing of the body or the negative space around the pose.
