ART/VIDEOS – Character Design Drawing Tips Part 02: Construction and Solidity

One of the trickiest parts of figure drawing is adding construction to your basic lay in.  The difficulty comes in the complexity of detail of the human form.

It can become overwhelming. What do you draw? How do you draw it?

When first staring out, artists tend to try to put it all in.  This can cause your drawing to get very lumpy while not really making a clear drawing statement.

In today’s video, I help you get around all that.  I write about a simple way of constructing the figure.  I use my favorite figure drawing teacher, Steve Huston’s torso constructing technique to do it.

Also, below the video I link to a lesson where Steve Huston talks about drawing the torso.

I go over an approach you can take to simplify drawing the body so you can draw a well drawn figure without all the lumps and bumps.

Have a look. I think this video will be helpful to you.
