portrait sketches

Your ability to sketch objects and - a lot more important - living creatures in motion is usually a significant factor for creating vibrant and natural images. The base for drawing men and women in motion is the line of action. That's an imaginary centre line from the body and maps out the overall path of action of the figure. Choosing it right will make the figure extra real. If your character is located it's a direct line from top down, but when the character is moving along it is most often a curve, occasionally an s-shape. Keep it uncomplicated, when the line of action gets into way to many directions it will not simply look unrealistic yet may also be very perplexing for your viewer since it will be difficult to discover what's actually happening in the pic.
