What's in Premium?
Learn an observational approach to drawing the figure by designing each part as a simple shape. In this lesson, we'll break down the figure into basic parts—head, neck, torso, arms, and legs—and then explore techniques for designing the head and neck, modifying shapes to convey different characters and expressions. This method is particularly beneficial if you have some anatomy knowledge and want to get to light and shadow more directly in your figure drawings.
