Bernini figure study

[Andrea]

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on this study focusing on describing the forms but something feels off with it especially with the legs I think. I don’t want to start working on more details until I fix it but I’m not sure whether it’s the proportion or the way they are positioned so I was hoping someone might see how I could correct it. Any feedback and advice is much appreciated

Hey Andrea, I like the Study in a general sense and especially the position of the head, the leg looks stiff but they work.

It’s a good lay-in and it’s super that you didn’t get into details. Since this is your practice I’d encourage you NOT to get in details but rather only focus on the gesture and the form, leaving it at that stage.

Timebox yourself  (20 / 30 mts max)  and repeat as many of these studies as you can.  That will upgrade your figure drawing skills for sure.

I can suggest you, Steve Huston, drawing the figure from life course, he gets deep into gesture and structure.
