How to Draw an Ice Hockey Player with Stick Art Lesson

When students learn how to draw an ice hockey player with a stick, they not only gain body drawing practice, but how to show someone in action too. The torso needs to be bent, as well as the arms and legs, to give that look of someone who is moving across the ice.

Drawing a figure in action is not that much different than drawing someone standing straight up, but care needs to be given as to how much all those limbs bend, to create a convincing and active look. That’s why having step by step examples to show students how to do this, can make such a big difference in their success.

When art classes include interests in things like sports, they make engaging projects. They can turn body drawing practice from boring exercises into interesting projects, especially when they coordinate with sports events in the news like the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Art of Sports: Depicting Movement and Energy

Sports have been a popular subject in art for centuries, thanks to the interest in capturing movement and energy.

Artists like Edgar Degas and Eadweard Muybridge explored motion in their work. Degas often painted figures off-balance or mid-movement, like a dancer stretching or a horse racing, while Muybridge used multiple cameras to take rapid-fire photos. Sharing examples such as these is a great way to show students how other artists added movement to their work, so they may learn from their results as well.
