In this video, we’re diving into a critique session from inside the How to Draw Comics Academy, featuring artwork by James Fondren (Acadian Comics). James has drawn a character posed with bold foreshortening to capture maximum visual impact – awesome stuff! But foreshortening can be tricky, especially when it comes to keeping proportions accurate while pushing the pose to its limits.

I’ll be doing a full redraw of James’s character, breaking down exactly how to amp up the dynamism, energy, and flow of the pose. You’ll learn how to tie together each part of the body into a cohesive, gestural movement, and how to handle proportional foreshortening so your characters always look believable, powerful, and full of life – even in the most extreme poses.
