Another example of drawing the human figure with a focus on structure.
Left - My first attempt before watching the video.
Right - My second attempt after watching the video.
Did this example hard mode, trying to rely on my observation of landmarks without using Stan's example as a crutch.
Second time using mostly an overhand technique too

Awesome
I haven't posted anything in a while. Here are a few samples of the mannequinization examples I recently completed. Any comments are welcome. It seems like things are building and coming together in this class and lessons.
So the first image is actually my first attempt before watching the video. I think it looks better than the video follow along, but I think the reason for that is because I payed attention to the gesture of the model for my first attempt and then tried to add detail, while with the second attempt(following along with the video) I was mostly copying all Stan's lines, so it looks stiff and the pose is wrong.
Still struggling with some of the limb placement, but practice makes perfect I guess.
Advice appreciated😁
Attempt before video.
feedback to myself would be:
construct the pelvis even if it is hidden. That would better inform me where the legs begin.
i drew the subject’s right leg pointed out too far, instead it should be pointing kind of downward creating a balanced posture.
I feel like I'm both overcomplicating and oversimplifying at the same time.
There are still parts of the body I do not understand, mainly because I still haven't learnt the muscles.

Hi! You're setting a good foundation with three-dimensional forms, so nice work :) There are a few pointers I hope are useful to you going forward:
- Snowman effect: Following the natural curvature of the human body, there is more of a back and forth rhythm between limbs, as opposed to a symmetrical pinching at the joints. It can be useful to find this first in gesture before laying in the cylinders. I've attached a quick sketch below to further illustrate this.
- In #1's original reference, her torso appears to be more curved outwards, with most of the volume appearing forward enough to be on the other side of her arm. Right now, it seems to be missing both that forward gesture and the volume that would make it feel three-dimensional. It seems you got a better hang of it with the next attempts though, but keep in mind using gesture to lay in your initial stage--and assessing it as well, using the relationship between parts to compare (e.g. the arm's position by the torso).
- Feet: Here in the demo, the feet are simplified into their gesture, but if you want to add more structure to them, you could use a triangular "wedge" shape.
- Neck: Careful with too thick of a neck, especially on women. #2 and #3 seem correct in size, but #1 should be about 2/3rds of the current width.
Hope this helps! :)
i still draw the ribs too wide.. i think the convergence of the box is not enough. What do you guys think ?
So, this is your brain tricking you into making the body wider because it tapers away from you. I had to draw it three times before I got it right. Her ribcage is nearly upright in her seated position, which is not what we usually see (The ribcage tilts back and the pelvis forward when we stand upright). Also, her pelvic bucket tilts slightly back in this pose because Sekka is seated.
Retry in this order and priority. I'm interested to see if the second try is easier:
#01. Gesture
#02. Robo-bean
#03. Volume
Hey, just wanted to compliment you on your super clean and accurate linework and mannequinization. Seems that we are working on this topic at the same time, I'm wondering where you find your poses? Best of luck to you, let's keep going :D
