  1. IAT 208 Drawing as InquirySpring 2013 Week 10 Human figure drawing

  2. Warm up drawing session • Time: 15 min. • Try loose, flowing gestural drawings. • Explore form and movement in different gestures. • Your elbow and shoulder should be incorporated into developing the lines drawn. A type of line gesture drawing: Image by Auguste Rodin A type of Mass gesture drawing: Vivley

  3. Warm-up large and small action lines • Sketch in the main line of action, this is a single sweeping line that follows the curve of the spine • Starting with the head, draw shapes to represent the head, torso and pelvis, following your line of action. Donelli refers to this step as “stringing shapes on a stick figure”. Start with the head so you can use it as the measure for the other shapes.  (oval or circle shapes) • Look at the angle of the shoulders and hips and add the smaller lines of action for these areas • Add smaller action lines for the arms • Ideally all of the above should be completed in under 2 minutes, with minimal lines • The idea of the shapes is to roughly mimic that actual body mass • Once you move through the drawing process towards your finished product, shapes are refined to mimic the model more closely • It’s important that the shapes you draw are roughly the correct size in relation to each other • http://lifedrawingposes.com/figure-drawing-lessons/lesson-1-figure-drawing-class/
