Reply To: Figure drawing critique request

[Morgan Moore]

First off, I want to say that the color choices are suberb, I love the way the cool and warm tones play off of each other. The forms of the legs are also convincingly foreshortened.

One big important mistake I notice is that the pelvis and torso seem to be one contiguous shape, like a 2D hourglass. A lot of instructors on here mention the “beanbag” or “sack of flour” as an analogy for the two main masses of the figure (rib cage + pelvis).

Excuse the rough sketching, but I tried to draw a bit to illustrate what I mean. The intersections between forms are really useful to help sell the 3D aspect.
