Depth Tutorial

How to Add Depth to Your Gesture Drawings

Is your gesture drawing feeling flat? This tutorial dives into the concept of depth and how to inject it quickly into your gestures for more dimensional, dynamic results.

I share 7 actionable tips that transform gestures from surface-level to spatially rich:

• Understand Form
• Play with Pairs
• Draw Into the Page
• Adjust the Amount of Detail
• Use Hula Hoops
• Overlap Forms
• Scale for Perspective

Watch how each technique works in real time with clear examples and commentary, using reference from the Pin Up Model Pack by Studio Grafit.

Whether you're tackling foreshortening, seated poses, or twisty gestures, this tutorial helps you sketch with greater confidence and clarity and keeps your drawings full of energy and story.
