perspective | life drawing S'19


A contour line alone will not add volume. For a clearer understanding of the body's three-
dimensional form, hold up your box of charcoal, tilting it at the same angle as the upper and then the lower part of the torso. Notice how shadows, in this drawing, emphasize the flat surface of each.

In this exercise, students construct the figure, by drawing blocks, and begin with the nearest body part. The tendency of drawing heads that are monumental in size, will give way to beefier legs and feet, by following a basic rule of linear perspective - what is closer appears larger.
