Figure in Action

For our next unit in class we'll be learning how to draw the human figure. Using proportion and observation, we will find relationships between the many parts of the human form in order to draw them more accurately.

We will be drawing wooden mannequins, that have average proportional measurements of real figures. Over the next couple days, begin to think about a simple action that you could illustrate with 5 distinct poses of the mannequin. For our final project, we will combine the 5 sketches into one design that illustrates the locomotion of the body, (see example above!

See the slideshow below for action ideas!
