Figure Drawing | Part 3: Box Forms

[New Masters Academy]

In this highly-anticipated series, master draftsman Glenn Vilppu shares with you his approach to figure drawing. Each lesson will cover a new stage in Glenn’s process, including: Gesture, Spherical Forms, Box Forms, Cylindrical Forms, Basic Procedure, Modeling Tone, Direct Lighting, and Atmosphere. In this first lesson of the series, Glenn covers the basic foundation of figure drawing: capturing the gesture. Glenn begins with a comprehensive lecture, followed by analyses of gesture in Old Master works. Glenn will then illustrate these concepts in several demonstrations, using a variety of different tools. Next, you will get a chance to apply what you’ve learned in a timed figure drawing assignment. The lesson will conclude with Glenn’s approach to the assignment, allowing you to compare your work with his.

Hello. Please clarify if you can. The man’s hip in #4 is higher on his left side, as is his shoulder. Is this correct?  I have watched your view/explanation of the orientation and do not see with understanding. I have made myself blocks to represent the ribs and hip to visualize this.  Dave
