(Art): Five figure studies. The photos are from Croquis Cafe.
I was watching Glenn Vilppu videos and my goodness it is hard to adapt to his style of figure drawing.
He first does abstract lines to show rhythm from the top of the body to the bottom, then he shows us the round forms of the ribcage and pelvis while drawing contour lines, then he goes over the overlapping forms, then boxes to add stability, and he finally adds stretch and squash like an animator would do. This is stuff I have done before but it is so hard to put into execution. But it is so fun trying to figure out how to get it to work!
I had his method in the back of my head but I feel like I was just doing my own thing here... I was focusing a lot more on the contour and negative space of the figure. Which does not exactly help me understand the form of the figure.
Anyways, this dude is my all time favorite model because of his voluminous stomach and forms.
In some of the figures, I made him too thin which is the drawback of drawing thin and muscular people everyday. I have to remember to push the figure outward to make him appear bigger.
The man on the second image is not twisting, yet my figure is. The butt on the ref is facing 3/4, while mine is facing toward the camera forcing the figure to do a twist.
On the third image, sketching out the round forms of the ribcage and pelvis would of made the figure feel more compact and stable.
