I hold a degree in graphic design, but nowadays I work as a freelance illustrator and a tutorial author. I have 10+ years of experience in using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, both for graphic design and for creating unique works of art as well. I'm a Polish artist with a great passion for creating new things-whether by drawing, digital painting, or photo manipulation. That's why you should learn it first, and only then focus on more detailed things like the actual muscles. A good gesture drawing should show the energy and action of the character, without actually showing the character itself. In drawing, a gesture is a set of basic, nicely flowing lines that define the pose of the character without including any details. This is something you should start your drawing with, because even the most anatomically realistic human will look like a doll or a sculpture if you miss the gesture.

The biggest difference between drawings of people and artificial objects is that the former are alive and moving, creating various poses depending on their action, personality, and mood.

Instead of creating one huge tutorial that would be too big to swallow, I gathered different tutorials all in one place so that you can try them one by one, learning all the necessary elements at your own pace. Want to learn how to draw people? Drawing human characters is a very complex topic, composed of many smaller topics like gesture, anatomy, details, facial expressions, techniques, and others.
