Dynamic Figure Drawing

Figure Artist brings a whole new dimension to posing a figure that
would be nearly impossible in real life. With Figure Artist, the ability
to catch an action pose is limitless. In real-life situations, about the best
an artist can do is ask the model to perform an action and then try to capture
the action with a camera, which is a haphazard approach at best. Figure 8.1
shows a pose taken from a model in Figure Artist that would be impossible
for a live model to hold for more than a fraction of a second.
This chapter deals with creating dynamic figure poses that would not be possible
with live models. My hope is that it will help you to unlock a world of
possibilities that goes beyond those available in a life-drawing situation.
