Curious what it's like to study with me? Check out this free masterclass about How to Make Drawings You Absolutely Love.

If you can draw the figure from reference images and from the live model but you struggle with drawing figures from imagination this video will show you the next exercise you should focus on.
In it I demonstrate how understanding the correct placement of the three major masses (head, rib cage, pelvis) is the foundation for starting any pose from your memory. You will also learn how simple landmark indications help the viewer understand the orientation of each pose.
This is the foundation to the popular bean-drawing method.
Watch me demonstrate several sample poses and how mastering this skill leads to fun, playful sketches from imagination.
Materials I use in this video: Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils on Strathmore Sketch Paper
Assignment: Find a few reference images and deconstruct it into the three major masses and their landmarks. Walk away, put away your drawings and reference images and see if you can construct one of the poses from memory, by starting with the three major masses.

Drawing as a way of thinking...that makes so much sense. Not just for pretty pictures but for investigation/analysis. Jeesh it's like a light bulb went on with that simple statement. Thanks.

I love that that made sense to you. It changes a lot when you approach drawing through this lense ☺

The most underrated channel on here, thanks for all the pro content ! I have aphantasia so its all black in my minds eye, really have to brute force to draw anything from scratch.

I can copy through a sort of guess and check method, but from memory I can't draw anything.

Hi Carolin, out all of all the videos on the Internet re drawing from imagination, this is certainly the most informative and helpful. I need to brush up on landmarks, especially connecting the rib cage to the pelvis. Is there a resource you'd recommend? And Would you say practicing this exercise routinely is the best way to grasp drawing from imagination? I'm hoping so. I'm trying to learn cartooning.

I'm glad this video is starting to point you in the right direction. Usually any good figure drawing book will have a few pages on landmarks. My favorite is by Michael Hampton called Figure Drawing Design and Invention. Yes, this exercise is a great starting point. You'll also want to practice your ability to capture and create powerful gestures, drawing any simple forms from any vantage point and to create simple yet recognizable shapes. I have a mentoring program that guides artists through acquiring all of these must-have skills. It's in-depth and won't leave anything out. Feel free to schedule a call to see if it's the right thing for you :) calendly.com/curastudios/fit

it has nothing to do with talent. It is called skill. Skill that everyone can obtain if you put time in it. Just like playing a piano.

It may look easy, but it's not. I just keep testing out multiple options until it makes sense. Luckily these are teachable skills. I'm happy to help if you want to invest in some mentoring for the exam 😊
