How to Draw an Angry Figure Using the Quadrant Method

Hello Fun Fab Drawing Club Member!! 

❤️️I'm SO glad you're here!❤️️

This week, we're continuing in the Sketchin' Expressions classroom, and will be drawing an ANGRY figure (inspired by Cameron Mark),
using my Quadrant Method!

​👉If the Quadrant Method is new to you, or if it's been a while, please feel free to try or revisit this SUPER EASY quadrant method drawing project ​before jumping into the angry figure.

Feeling confident and ready to dive into the angry figure lesson? Awesome! As always, used whatever you've got on hand, here's what I used:

SUPPLIES 

Bristol https://amzn.to/3ebGY9u

Mechanical Pencil https://amzn.to/3ACYRpD

Ruler

Triangle https://amzn.to/3e4jgfw
In today's lesson, I've left quite a few additional resources to help you out including my Quadrant Method cheatsheet and a reference image for today's project.
Picture
You'll also find a 7-pg excerpt from my How to Draw Art Deco Style book that thoroughly explains how the quadrant method can help with figure drawing. Click the button below, and let's get started!
Picture
👉Haven't had a chance to do the angry face lesson yet, so not ready for the angry figure? I've got you! Head over to that lesson here.
Picture
👉Because I wasn't in love with my final drawing from the above lesson, I revisited it during our very FIRST Brain Stretches & Sketches to explore how we can make our "fierce" faces look even angrier! Make sure you check that episode out here. You'll also get TONS of tips on how to choose excellent face-drawing reference images! 
​👉In case you missed Brain Stretches & Sketches on Friday, I showed my new Lesson Tracker to help you keep track of where you're at in the clubs a bit easier. It's kinda like a journal too because there's space to track your mood before and after your art session, along with the time of day. 
Picture
Over time - you might begin to notice patterns like the time of day you prefer to art, and how just sitting down to create can affect your mood. I hope you love it!! 

During this session, we also reviewed profile face drawing guidelines, angles, and how to work expressions into them - which can make things feel extra tricky!!

​👉Last week, I did an "Old School Round-up,"
and gave you 2 older Awesome Art School / YouTube alcohol marker
"mean girl" expression lessons in case you were on the lookout for
related lessons from our angry expression projects.
​Hope you enjoyed these!

And yes... if you've been with me for a while, these girlies are from my #100FunFabFacesChallenge a few years ago. If you did these lessons then- I TOTALLY encourage you to dig them out, and do these lessons again to see how you've grown as an artist! 
​
👉Not in the mood for expressions & figures today? Scroll through the Fun Fab Drawing Club Visual Index to decide what you'd love to draw next with me step-by-step, start to finish!! ​

What Fans Are Saying

Karen, you are absolutely fabulous! You make me feel like I can draw anything. I have recently retired and finally have the time to do some of the art that I have loved since I was in school. I am really at the beginning of my art journey and I hope to learn as much as I can. Thank you for all you do.

​-Jill Y.

I ordered your Fun Fab Faces book and loved it! I was having a little trouble getting the noses I wanted and now it's easy! Also, I love how you stressed how important having the three tones in your drawing is. Thanks a bunch!

-Donna L.

Thank you Karen! I never though I could do faces. You broke it down so it was understandable! And I love your book! I got it yesterday! Can't wait to start practicing! It's so much fun!!!!!

​-Debbie M.

Thank you for the encouragement to get back into my drawing and painting. After being away for 35 years.  THANK YOU.

- Teresa S.
