Large/baggy clothing makes it harder and you end up guessing shapes which instead stunts your learning 1: SHAPE + FORM 1: SHAPE + FORM 1: SHAPE + FORM Now, onto fluidity! 2. FLUIDITY I create fluidity using singular lines that set out what 'angle' the pose will take 2. FLUIDITY They are those long, curved lines I place before drawing the pose on top, and prevent the body becoming stiff 2. FLUIDITY (Both these poses are very quick sketches and are not the most anatomically correct, I just want to show the importance of the fluidity lines LIKE SO:) They are those long, curved lines I place before drawing the pose on top, and prevent the body becoming stiff 2. FLUIDITY 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM female vs male These are torso sketches of typical male and female bodies 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM Differences between the two include: 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM 1. Biological men typically have wider necks than women, alongside more developed trap muscles 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM 2. Women have slimmer rib cages 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM 3. Men have wider shoulders 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM 4. Women have wider hips and their torso takes on more of an hourglass shape, whereas men take on more of an inverted triangle 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM MORE DIFFERENCES: - Due to men having a naturally higher muscle mass, men's thighs bulge out more on the middle whereas women's thighs bulge out nearer + on the hips (upper thigh + hips) 3. GENDER DIMORPHISM Let's look at some common anatomical errors! 4. COMMON MISTAKES MORE DIFFERENCES: - Due to men having a naturally higher muscle mass, men's thighs bulge out more on the middle whereas women's thighs bulge out nearer + on the hips (upper thigh + hips) 4. COMMON MISTAKES 1. Drawing breasts as circles 4. COMMON MISTAKES Improved! Due to gravity, breasts fall, causing more of a teardrop shape, regardless of size. However, they do come in all shapes AND sizes, not all are shaped this way. Regardless, they all have one thing in common - none sit as perfect, round circles naturally 4. COMMON MISTAKES 2. Overly curving the legs Improved! Legs DO have a natural curve, but it's important to recognise that it only becomes apparently when the leg is at an angle, not just when standing 4. COMMON MISTAKES However, many CHOOSE to stylise their anatomy and exaggerate the curve which is completely fine and can often look great! 4. COMMON MISTAKES 3. Elbows going past hands in this pose Try it yourself - the elbow cannot physically go past your hands in this pose. 4. COMMON MISTAKES Position the arms in a triangle formation; shoulders, elbows and hands should always make a triangle 4. COMMON MISTAKES That's all for today, if you got this far then thank you! As you know, I'm not a professional, however I do have an understanding that I can share
