Hello friend!

Do you want to learn the secret to having your poses feel like they are three dimensional?

A big 2026 starts now

Most people treat this stretch of the year as dead time. But builders like you know it’s actually prime time. And with beehiiv powering your content, world domination is truly in sight.

On beehiiv, you can launch your website in minutes with the AI Web Builder, publish a professional newsletter with ease, and even tap into huge earnings with the beehiiv Ad Network. It’s everything you need to create, grow, and monetize in one place.

In fact, we’re so hyped about what you’ll create, we’re giving you 30% off your first three months with code BIG30. So forget about taking a break. It’s time for a break-through.

Use perspective grids and build the body out of simple 3D shapes that match the form you’re drawing—boxes, cylinders, and spheres first, details later.

This helps you understand how the figure sits, twists, and overlaps in space instead of living on a flat page.

Once you start thinking in depth and volume, foreshortening becomes clearer, angles make more sense, and your poses instantly gain weight and realism.

When you truly see the figure in space, your drawings stop feeling flat and start feeling alive.

Stop planning. Start building. With beehiiv, this the end of the year is a great time to get ahead. Build a website with AI, launch a newsletter in minutes, and start earning through the Ad Network. Use code BIG30 for 30 percent off your first three months. Start building for 20 percent off today.

If you enjoy the technique, that’s only a small tip of how you can transform your art. I go much deeper. I cover more about anatomy, perspective, foreshortening in my book below.
