LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I will show you how to set up a figure drawing mannequin using simple shapes instead of stiff boxes and planes. We cover my Three Ps process: Part, Position, and Perspective. You will learn how to assign recognizable shapes to the head, neck, torso, and limbs. I explain how to adjust the tilt and center lines to match your pose perfectly. We also look at how to modify these shapes to fit different character archetypes. I break down the torso into one simple combo shape so you do not have to draw the rib cage and pelvis separately. Finally, I show you how to use basic wrapping lines for perspective. This approach keeps your figures feeling natural and gives you a solid foundation for drawing drapery.

Figure mannequins don't need to be built from stiff boxes. Using simple shapes lets you easily adjust the tilt and turn for any pose. This fluid approach keeps the form intact so your drapery wraps naturally instead of looking flat.
