Figure Drawing – Mannequinization
6mo
@lwel
My latest attempts to mannequinization. I tried getting feedback in the course before but I think I have more luck of people seeing and responding here.
I find this part of the course quite challenging.
Hey @age,
These are pretty fun poses and drawings.
Make sure that you don't loose the gesture of the limbs and body when you add these shapes. I noticed the tubes that you used for your limbs are very stiff. Try to add some gesture to them to give the body some rhythm. Also, make sure you tilt the torso back, unless the pose is bending forward, and that the pelvis is tilting down.
I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)
Hey lwel,
Let me start by saying you did a nice job maintaining a good gesture in these.
What I'm seeing is that you are trying to use anatomy in building your mannequin. This makes things much harder, and doesn't help you see the 3 dimensional and perspective quality of the figure. Try using simple shapes to describe the body and limbs. I did a quick example for you that I hope you find helpful :)
I wasn't sure exactly how much anatomy was expected because sometimes the examples defined muscles and sometimes they didn't. But Thank you very much for your feedback!
