People in Motion 1:
Main Rules
Painting people in motion is one of the most interesting tasks in watercolor. But very few people know how to do this - after all, imitation of motion on a sheet of paper is a difficult task. That is, if you don't know the rules...
This tutorial is divided into two parts. In the first part, we'll go over the very basic rules that will allow you to create the illusion of motion. And, of course, we will also learn how to draw people without resorting to the help of medical atlases and wasting time studying anatomy.
In the second part, we will make a watercolor sketch together using all the rules that have learned learn. You can't even imagine how simple are the ways with which you can solve such a complex problem!
