@curdalert, asked me a few weeks ago,  “How do you approach figure drawing?” While this isn’t really figure drawing in the traditional sense. This is just me trying to show how I see the human form, how I simplify things for myself to understand it enough to move past all the bullshit and difficulty of drawing. I’m by no means an expert on anatomy. I don’t know all the ins and outs of every damn bone, ligament or muscle. It’s all too much. A lot of this I learned from sifting through tutorials and browsing the internet.  But figure drawing itself in the traditional sense is more about capturing the form. The force and flow of a pose. But I do keep a lot what I’m showing here in mind when I’m drawing from memory. I should however be doing a lot more life drawing, which is like zero at the moment. What I’m showing here can help de-mystify the human form a bit.  So basically, this little tutorial I threw together is really about these 3 SHAPES and how everything is a mix of those 3 shapes. No magic. No abiding by rules of how many heads fit into a body. It’s all just shapes. Hope this helps. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please send me more questions and I’ll do my best to answer them :)

some exploratory stuff. the kids in the first set are revisions from a story/world i based on the kalevala way back in like.. 2010?? looking at those old things was a bit of a nightmare, haha

CLOSING THOUGHTS

- Start small. - Make mistakes and try new things.  - Practice as much as possible. - Share your work with others and get feedback. - Study the work of the artists whom you admire. - If you don’t have a tablet, get one. Small ones are cheap and easy to carry around. - Have fun!

I’ll also do some notes on perspective and dynamic posing later. (We’ll see how dynamic posing goes considering I’m not too great at it myself so… yeahhhh.)
