Day 14 challenge: Reality is boring, so distort it

“

Welcome to day 14 of the 21 day drawing challenge. Today's drawing challenge is for you to look at the provided reference sheet, then translate it into a more dramatic drawing. You can use any style of drawing, but your ultimate goal is to improve the overall body language and imbue it with more dynamic motion. As far as photography goes, this reference image is fine, but your drawing should clarify shape and form better. Right now the character's arms and legs are all over lapping his body, so the figure's contour, if silhouetted, would be very static and boring and maybe even unrecognizable. So distort reality and improve the pose through your drawing by exaggerating how his arms and legs interact with his body to create a more interesting and engaging image. You'll find the reference sheet for this challenge in the exercise files for this course.
