What is life drawing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Life drawing is the practice of sketching the human figure from a live model. Unlike photographs, the live figure lets you observe real movement, tension, lighting, and natural gesture\u2014all crucial skills for animation, illustration, and fine art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why life drawing matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Builds strong gesture and expression<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Capturing a pose quickly trains your eye to identify body language, energy, and rhythm\u2014skills animators rely on heavily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Strengthens understanding of anatomy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Seeing how muscles shift, how weight is balanced, and how limbs connect builds real anatomical knowledge that no textbook can replicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Boosts your portfolio<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most art and animation schools expect<\/strong> to see life drawing. Including it instantly raises the quality and professionalism of your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Encourages creativity and confidence<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Different poses, themes, and models challenge your visual storytelling and improve your ability to draw confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
