📝 Description

This isn’t a course about copying a photo. It’s about building a mental library of shapes and rhythms so you can draw a convincing female figure from any angle, in any pose, purely from your imagination. Patrick Jones, a veteran of the professional drawing studio, shares the exact methods he used to bridge the gap between student and pro.

The core idea is osmosis—you learn by doing, by filling pages with “clangers” and experimental drawings. Patrick guides you through a series of “potions,” each one a focused exercise. You’ll start with basic shapes and rhythms, then move into structural motion, learning how the hips drive the pose. He tackles the tricky stuff head-on: hands, foreshortening, and making muscles look like they’re actually working.

The teaching style is direct and encouraging. Patrick doesn’t just show you the final result; he walks you through the messy, iterative process of getting there. He emphasizes mileage over perfection, encouraging you to make mistakes and learn from them. By the end, you’ll have a solid, repeatable process for creating dynamic, believable fantasy figures that feel like they have a story to tell.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• Intermediate figure drawers who want to break free from photo reference.
• Fantasy artists looking to create more dynamic and original character poses.
• Anyone who feels their figures are stiff or lifeless and wants a more fluid, intuitive approach.
