Human Figure Drawing Lesson 2: the Neck

http://figuredrawingtip.blogspot.com/

Tutorial 2 offers some overview of drawing chest, neck and head as they would appear in a 3d space. No detail here. Early stages of the drawing is concerned with placement and angle of parts of the body.

Leave comments. An approach to figure drawing. My work involves drawing people to make animation. Draw characters for storytelling. Draw imaginatively. Illustrate. Draw figure from scratch. Draw from an image in your mind. You want your imagination to be in command of the image on the paper. Draw people you see. Don't need pictures. How the head connects to the chest. How these two parts connect. A quick approach. Anatomy: be aware of the continuity of the forms. The rib cage is going to dictate the over-all shape. These shapes in reality undergo a lot of change but guides can be used. It's helpful to work with lines that show direction even when the form you are drawing is mad up of curves, not lines. Get a sense of direction for different parts of the body. The chest from the side, the chest from the front. When it leans back or forward. When the chest is thrown back. The neck comes off the front, the central axis of the neck. The upper front of the chest is tilted back like a wind shield. Follow the central axis to guide your drawing. Think about the direction you want the head to go in. You can rotate the head with one line. Think in 3D this way. After awhile you get a 3D sense and it's a lot of fun to draw this way. The line is like a cord inside the neck.

[RAlD3N]

is it true that many lefties are artistic due to the use of the right side of the brain?

[drawtips]

@RAlD3N A lot of evidence supports this view. It is more likely for left handers to be creative.

I thought it was funny when you started doodling over the website address. I do that all the time too, I can't help it.

[drawtips]

@ddubs123 I like to think of the paper as being like a chalk board where everything drawn on it is temporary.

[Keldorl]

Is it Pedro Alvares Cabral underneath the paper after the fifth minute?

thanks for the video.

[drawtips]

@Keldorl It might be. I found that picture on a google image search for uniforms. Hope your drawing goes well.

@drawtips i'm pretty sure that ur right i studied the human brain a lot to know more about it and it was stunned really :) i used to be right handed and i learned to use my left hand too so now i can write and draw with both my hands and even though i'm basically right handed in the first place, i'm right brained. done so many tests to know if i'm right or left brained and all the results said that i'm right brained. the last one i did i was 51% right brained and 49% left brained :)
