The human figure can be broken down into simple geometric figures that easily adjust to its description. It should be a simple form (an oval, a pyramid, etc.) that is sufficiently rich to suggest the position of different body parts.The human body in its volumetric representation is made up of spherical, cylindrical and orthogonal surfaces. These shapes are the foundation for drawing the extremities, head and torso. If the body changes position, all we have to do is adjust the point of view of the rectangles, cubes, or cylinders.
There are three major masses of the human body- the head, chest, and pelvis. They are joined together by the spine, which controls the movements and turning directions of the head, chest, and pelvis. The significant fact here is that these three masses are able to move independently of one another.

  • I used your method with quadrilaterals and it worked! I was able to pose my little figure exactly the way I wanted her and she was in proportion. I'm so glad I found this tutorial! thanks for doing it!

  • @kendahke Glad to hear!!!!

  • that's perfect but what about those lines on the papper how much cmS u leave area?

  • @RANA19021 I actually work with head units and don´t use inches neither centimeters. If you want to be precise you could choose a proper unit for your head length to fit the whole figure on your paper size. What I mean is, for example to fit all 9 head units on a paper size ISO A4 (8.27in × 11.69 in), it will be best to choose 2,5 cm (0.98 in) for a head unit.
