Cici's sketchbook

So yesterday I attempted drawing the body as a mannequin as Proko demonstrated in the video linked above and I realized I needed to do studies of the torso in simpler terms. So, I did two pages of "bean" studies and it helped me understand the mass of the torso much much better. I think my two biggest issues are; 1. how the torso folds and 2. seeing the torso as a 3D object in space and translating that to a 2D drawing. All the beans were referenced from photos and even Proko's interpretation himself (to help me get started).




Normally when I draw the figure, I start with the head and work my way down to the feet. I attempted to draw the figure starting with the torso and I like my results so far.



And some stuff from imagination
