Drawing Bodies

Educational Area: Design + Animation

So I got a lot of requests from people to show how to draw the torso or the figure. Well, I am not very good with those! My specialty is faces. But anyway, I tried to show how I basically do figures. I usually am using paper and they look a bit better but hopefully the general idea comes through. I start with the spine and head and ribs and pelvis, then make the arms and legs and do it all very roughly. Then I make a body out of that. On paper I let it stay really rough and then I can trace over the good lines on a clean sheet. On computer it is easier by just using layers. I have not had any formal training, so if you are good at figure drawing and could offer advice or tips, they would be welcome Tools: Painter IX, Camtasia Studio, Wacom Tablet Music: Ravel "Pavane for a Dead Princess" (more)(less)
