DESCRIPTION
The start of a figure drawing is often the most intimidating part!
In this video, I demonstrate the Envelope Technique—a method that helps you cut through the complexity of the figure and go straight to the big, abstract shape that contains your subject. From there, it's just a matter of carving out progressively smaller shapes.
I don’t use this exact approach for every drawing, but I do often project these shapes in my mind.
It’s a great tool to add to your belt—simple, dependable, and surprisingly effective!
