Week 9: Basic Anatomy and Proportions

A 15 minute life drawing, concentrating primarily on anatomy and proportion, as evident by the construction line running down the spine. This was done to ensure the curvature of the spine was correct and that the inner anatomy of the model made sense in the drawing. The proportions in this drawing are mostly correct due to this, and measurements which have been based on this original measurement. The left foot however does not look correct, as it curves at a strange angle and would not work were it real.

The shading and tonal values of the image help to bring out the three dimensional feel to the drawing, which would be aided further if the shading in the image were done following the curvatures of the body.
