Traditional figure gesture drawings lack the practical application and the principle design understanding that my fractal method offers.
The Fractal Method is not just another figure drawing method; it's a method by which artists can hone their design skills beyond just figure drawing and elevate every aspect of their work: character design, background design, prop design, and composition. These are the essential skills needed to become a viable commercial artist.
The Fractal Method is a designer's approach to figure drawing.
Marcelo's Fractal Method of Figure Drawing is "An approach by which you will be able to organize your thoughts more clearly and succinctly" and speed up your drawing.
