Procedure: Anatomy is About Rhythm

Posted by Picasa

1. Using arrows helps indicate what direction the parts of the figure are going. You should always be asking yourself things like, "is this arm going away from me or towards me?"

2. Constuct the figure out of simple shapes. this helps indicate where the side planes are.

3. Anatomy is rhythm. when you learn your anatomy you can incorporate rhythm into your figure. Watch this video for a demo on this concept.



4. Bring your drawing to finish with your tones.

White paper, pen and ink with water color wash.
This is a really fun technique for an expressive drawing.
Sometimes I apply the wash first and draw over with pen.
