Read through these pages; Go back to photos from last week and do three more final drawings of the figures...build out from loose gestures to solid volumes to more complete forms with detail

Remember this:
Life drawing process

1. Gesture/ story
2. shapes
3. landmarks
4. volume
5. anatomy
6. value/rendering

Eight main parts of the body

Head
Spine
Arms(forearms, upperarms)
Legs( calves/ Thighs)
Pelvis
Ribcage




Front of torso landmarks

pit of the neck
clavicle
sternum/manubrium

ends of the thoracic arch of ribcage

belly button

bottom of pelvis


We will cover the back landmarks this week a bit. just so we can complete the torso. but look over these landmarks for ideas.

Do some skeleton gestures where you are focusing on finding the landmarks and using them for positioning.

 Look at the center line showing the connection between ribcage and pelvis start to define volume around spine.

look at these torso " box drawings to show volume and direction of the body building up from the looser gestures from above

building out from those landmarks and gestures you can see how softer forms can be built around the skeleton of the gestures
