In week nine, you delve into a series of Gorgon-inspired drawings, focusing on anatomy, gesture, and storytelling. You’ll explore how to simplify complex forms while developing characters through expressive poses and dynamic gestures. Patrick emphasizes the power of anticipation in your drawings—capturing the moment before action to create tension and intrigue. By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand how to balance gesture and structure, use repetition to build confidence, and create emotionally engaging characters through narrative-driven figure drawing.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
