Foreshortening: A Practical Guide to Structure & Design

One of the most difficult challenges in figure drawing is the foreshortened pose. Foreshortening demands a solid understanding of the fundamentals, proportion, structure, anatomy, and gesture, while simultaneously asking that we suspend their usual application.

Created in partnership with Grafit Studio, this tutorial presents my approach to drawing the foreshortened figure, a topic not covered in my main book, Figure Drawing: Design and Invention. Think of this PDF as a bonus resource—an informal companion designed to support your continued study of gesture, anatomy, perspective, and design.
