Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
I often get questions about drawing people who move. That's why I am pulling this video from the archives.
When you try to add passers by in your drawing, they are already gone before you hardly even started. To draw people on the move, you need to be practice a lot. And with practicing pages, the drawings aren't necessarily great, but you are discovering ways to solve creative problems. There is no shortcut to drawing people - the only answer is: do it a lot. But I do have a few tips for you in today's video.
With today's exercise, you get to draw while hanging out by the beach. How cool is that?
