choice full body drawing

ITS YOUR TIME TO CHOOSE! 

We now know how to draw faces and bodies now it is time to put them together and draw a full human. Your facial proportions and body proportions MUST be accurate, shaded and realistic as possible. I can pick a picture for you or you may bring in your own from the internet, family or friend picture. Below are examples of full body pictures that are acceptable.

Gesture drawings

A gesture drawing is work of art defined by rapid execution. Typical situations involve an artist drawing a series of poses taken by a model in a short amount of time, often as little as 30 seconds, or as long as 2 minutes. Gesture drawing is often performed as a warm-up for a life drawing session.

 

 

Body Proportions

Each of you will gain understanding on how to draw a proportionate human.

 

Above are two pictures of proportional male and female bodies. You have to understand that not everyone is proportionate, but in order for your drawing to look good you need to be as accurate as possible.  

Below are a few videos to aide you in the drawing process
