Over summer I
decided to study the human form in more detail, I did this because I found my characters
were lacking that realism of the body’s structure that made them believable. I personally think that learning about the
human body would inform and help my progress when drawing characters for my
work. I found that there was a lot I hadn’t properly understood about the human
body and how it moves; this has greatly informed my work as my proportions and
understanding of the body’s limitations has become more refined, even though I
am still in the middle of learning about this I’m finding it effecting my
drawings positively. What I am using is a set of videos aimed at concept
artists called the structure of man; it takes you back to the beginning
building up the skeleton, then adding muscle and skin in such a way that your
mind learns the tricks to understand how to draw it correctly every time.
Here are some of my
drawings showing different sections of what I've learnt so far.
