How to Draw Fight Scenes for Comics

We go through 3 main project files and I have added a couple time lapsed scenes at the end.  I will be adding more to this class since there are so many possibilities with this subject.
Lesson 1 – Focusing on the Gesture
In this lesson we will draw some gestural sketches to get the ideas going.  We will experiment with different poses and talk about how to add more energy and action to the figure.  We will focus on drawing these with primitive shapes.  This allows us to relax more and try new poses from our imagination.
Lesson 2 – Editing the Pose
In this lesson we will draw another gesture but this time we will add more foreshortening to the pose.  That can be a tricky thing to do if you are not experienced with a few important techniques.  Practice these often and they will become as simple as drawing a basic static pose.
Lesson 3 – Drawing Iconic Poses
Here we will use the same approach by first establishing the concept of our fight scene with the gesture.  You will learn about how I think about the process and develop my ideas.
Lesson 4 -Refining the Poses
Now we will refine the poses and I will share some of my thought on policing the lines.
Lesson 5 – The Upper Hand Scene
In this one we will draw another popular comic fight pose.  I call this one the upper hand.  It's that type of scene where they are both in fight positions but one has a slightly more dominate position.  We can learn a lot by studying what's already working in comics and this type of scene is used quite often.
Lesson 6 – Refining the Pose 
In this lesson I refine the pose on the right and explain my thought process for drawing stylized anatomy.
Lesson 7 – More Refinement
Here we will refine the pose on the left and talk about shape memorization as it applies to the concept.
Lesson 8 – Up Close and Personal
For this popular scene we will be drawing something up close and personal.  This is a great scene for really punching up the drama! ?
You will also learn how small changes can have a large impact on the narrative of the art.
Lesson 9 – Refining the Scene
In this lesson we will clean up the poses and talk about that process.
Lesson 10 – Female Fight Scene
In this one we will draw two female characters battling it out in the air.  This is a great one for the long shots where we can easily see the characters from head to toe.  These types of scenes are used quite often for our flying characters. ( This lesson is time lapsed so feel free to pause the video to catch up. )
Lesson 11 – Foreshortened Kicking 
In this one we explore a more exaggerated pose for impact.  These can be a lot of fun to create and great for those dynamic areas in the storytelling.
