Artist and educator David Tenorio walks you through the proportions and movements of both hands and feet through identifying gesture, proportion, and the moving parts. After making simple tweaks to your current drawing practice and learning easy-to-make mistakes to avoid, you’ll be able to identify how to bring life to your figure drawing.
