About this deal

Second, I reached a point where I saw the energy and effort that the figure drawing models put into their poses but couldn’t manage to capture that in my drawings using the methods I learned up to that point. Imagine my satisfaction when I came across a drawing method that focused on capturing the figure’s energy!

The first step to draw Form is to learn the basics of Perspective. Look at the image showing boxes in One, Two, Three, and Four Point Perspective. This figure’s arms are under an insane amount of tension to hold his whole body in position. Look at all the Applied Forces. FORCE is about function. The primary function we look for in the figure is balance relative to Gravity. The position of the model’s right leg is very important to support the weight of his bending torso. If he removes that leg from underneath his torso, he will lose balance and fall. I look at the Negative Shapes for placement and to create a clear Silhouette while I draw this martial artist. Artists of the FORCE drawing approach move on to many different careers in the the arts such as storyboard artist, Character Designer, Visual Development Artist, Comic Book Artist, Animator, Illustrator and Caricaturist. Some enroll to improve their drawing skills as their personal hobby. Keep reading to learn more about the FORCE Drawing memberships, courses and personal mentorship options!The first row shows examples of symmetrical or UnFORCEful Shapes. Avoid these in your drawings. The second row shows asymmetrical or FORCEful Shapes. These give your drawing a sense of energy and movement.

It'll also be helpful to always draw the forces in a particular style (there get to be a lot of arrows on diagrams in physics, not all of them forces). You might also choose colour to show the kind of interaction that the force replaces.A third convention to be consistent about in drawing force diagrams determines the positioning of force arrows: In this article the authors' describe their different journeys into FORCE Drawing with examples of its three fundamentals - Basics, Form and Shapes, and snapshot video tutorials for each. By now you'll have noticed that we use arrows to represent forces. These force arrows (or force vectors as they are referred to in physics books) are very helpful because they can be used to represent the two essential features of any force:

Our students keep telling us how valuable it is for them to see how we use what we teach in our own work. This book is part of our effort to satisfy that need. The FORCE Companion Book delves deeper into the material taught in the 10th Anniversary FORCE Book and does so with over 200 examples on how to apply the different aspects of FORCE Drawing.” Swendly BeniliaThis martial artist’s leaning action has a clear Leading Edge. The FORCE Surface Lines on his upper torso help accentuate the direction of movement.

Observe how I fill the FORCE Shapes of the lower arm and palm with Form by drawing their Turning Edges.FORCE drawing developed from my mentors in school, my time at Walt Disney Animation and then years teaching students while performing many experiments to see how to define a system that was inspirational and understandable. Ironically, the first book that I self-published came from my conviction to stop teaching. I was burned out and wanted to share with others what I had created as a new way to see, think, and draw the figure. Now, almost thirty years later, after many years of working in different genres of the entertainment industry, mostly as an art director, I now teach full time once more...and I love it!” Mike Mattesi
