Embracing Dynamic Movement: A Sketch Inspired by Pinterest

Here is another full-body sketch from a reference I found on Pinterest. I really wanted to draw something with a lot of movement. And I found this fun photo of a dude jumping in the air. He shows a lot of emotion on his face too. His arms, legs, and back are bent backward. It’s a very dynamic pose and I really enjoyed drawing it.

Pencil Sketch by Ralph Contreras

I put the image in my Amazon Fire Tablet and placed the reference on a shelf I made for my drawing table. I tried to use a lot of shadows in this illustration. In the drawing, I elongated the figure a little. It’s not a perfect rendition of the reference image. But that’s ok, it was a fun exercise in drawing the figure. I drew this sketch with a 0.7 Pentel HB mechanical pencil and ad a good time with it.
