In this demo, I'll demonstrates a slower, shape-based approach to figure drawing that emphasizes form, overlap, and rhythm through part-to-part construction.

Why does my video stop right when you said you're about to go over the arm/leg proportions? It just cuts off right as you're about to go into that so the last thing that was talked about is the back side of the pelvis and then it just ends. Am I not getting access to the whole video for some reason or did you just decide not to include that part? Just wondering cause I don't want to be missing a key part of the video. Thanks

I don't go through the bones of the arms and legs here. We don't really need it for the perspective construction the same way we might need the torso landmarks.

added comment inApplying the Shape Method

Michael I'm sorry but I'm not quite understanding the difference between both methods. I understand the the first one focuses more on direction rather than outline, and this method uses more blocky construction to define the shape but I'm struggling to see the difference beyond one method looking smoother and the other looking more rigid/defined. Am I misunderstanding this?

The biggest difference is that in the first method I don't close off any shapes. This one purposefully works from one shape to the other. It may look a little more blocky or stiff for that reason alone.

added comment inHow to Apply Proportions to Any Head Angle

I have a question! While looking at the relationship between the shapes of the features, I sometimes find myself having to cut off from the chin to compensate for making the jaw/shape of the head too long relative to the model in the beginning. During figure drawing I imagine this would cause problems for the overall proportions of the figure. How do I deal with this? Or is it strange that I am often making the jaw too long?

I make changes to the figure all the time as I work. It's great to have a template to aim for and rules but sometimes experience and errors are necessary parts of the process. In other words, I wouldn't worry too much. You're aware of it and that's the most important thing.

added comment inStep by Step Workflow for Figures

Using colored pencils helped me not lose the figure when using the gesture for the under drawings before putting in the shapes. Question. Do you recommend finishing the gesture course 1st before finishing the figure construction course since Gesture is you 1st step in your workflow in construction?
