[Lesson 12] Manipulating the Figure

You’ve already watched how to draw a basic figure and a figure with more movement.

You now know that you can manipulate the figure as you want by changing the direction and position of the head, arms, and legs. And also by having a dynamic center line for the torso and hips.

And now it’s your turn to create as many figures as you can. Remember that in order to adapt and make the figures have your style, you can add, remove and change whatever you want 😀
