How to Draw Running Late

Simple steps to draw running late, based on what works in the examples above.

1 Place the main character or object first, then tilt it to show movement.
2 Add big silhouette and clear outline early — these are the features that make a running late recognizable.
3 Use motion lines, impact marks, props, and big gestures to make the action obvious.
4 Keep it simple at first. Avoid a stiff pose. Even a quick stick figure works better when it leans into the action.
5 Practice by drawing a running late in Artbitrator, where you can also watch how other players approached it.

Tip: The most recognizable running late drawings get big silhouette and clear outline down early. Add those first, then refine.
