About this product
Siobhan Twomey
Artist, Illustrator, Instructor
This is a comprehensive guide to drawing the figure for complete beginners. In this workbook, you will first learn how to approach the figure for drawing in terms of seeing basic shapes and understanding their relationship. From there you'll learn about the important landmarks to look out for in order to make a drawing that is proportionately accurate. Finally, I'll give you three assignments to practice drawing the significant sections of the figure that are the foremost elements to know and understand as an artist.
Included in this 10 page PDF is:
• Identify the most important part of the figure for making drawings: the torso;
• Learn to understand this section in terms of two shapes;
• Learn to look for directions and angles that define the shape of any pose;
• Learn to simplify the forms of the limbs.
Finally you will be able to put all of these together to draw what you see and still maintain the dynamic quality that defines the human form.
