![]() ![]() You can create the illusion of human form with a few swift offset curves, but you will never create such an illusion (or you will create a poor one) with curves that look like parentheses ( ).Īs an example, lets look at the Belvedere Torso, an antique sculpture dating to the first century B.C.įigures B. So, when drawing the figure, the principle to keep in mind is simple: CURVES.īut here is a "twist" on the principle of Curves :scream: Curves in human form oppose each other less like the parentheses I just used ( ) and more like the curves evident in the DNA spiral where the curves are offset from one another, rather than perfectly adjacent. As with plants and trees, so with human beings we are built with curves, not straight lines, and the reason for our curve-based structure is to allow us to move efficiently. Human form is organic form, and organic form is built for economic movement. So bring your drawing pads, sketch books, your wacoms and your pencils & pens, and lets start drawing. So bear with me as this is a fledgling teaching attempt. I have always had the interest in teaching figurative drawing and artistic anatomy, and I am thankful to Roberto Ortiz for presenting me with this unique and special opportunity. ![]() I studied under the popular teachers Harry Carmean, Burne Hogarth, and Steve Huston among many others. Hopefully this will be only the second of many "tutorials" that I will be writing about the core concepts concerning drawing the human figure in an artistically anatomical way.īut first let me tell you a bit about myself - I graduated with honors from the Art Center College of Design having studied Illustration. Welcome to the second thread of Rebecca Kimmels Anatomy Review. REBECCA KIMMEL'S Anatomy Review 002: OPPOSING CURVES ![]() Here we explore the Concept of Gesture ~ anyone is free to join in! SINCE THIS IS LARGELY A CLOSED THREAD, FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN FURTHER EXPLORING BASIC DRAWING CONCEPTS, PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING (ACTIVE) THREAD: ![]()
