Unlike a still life or a photograph, Life DrawingÕs unique challenge is for us to capture visual information on the page quickly and accurately, because the subject will get up and walk away in a short time. The human form holds other challenges as well, including the dynamics of balance, locomotion, gesture, anatomical landmarks, foreshortened views, and the unique variations of personality and expression. It is true for most artists that, if you can draw the human form, you can draw anything, an outcome that usually kindles a passion for figure drawing that sustains us for a lifetime.
