Anatomy Study: Worms and Birds
Working directly from a model (preferable) or one of the images in the Powerpoint below:
draw 3 versions of the human figure from below (worm's eye view)
draw 3 versions of the human figure from above birds's eye view)
Work traditionally using pencil, conte, chalk, or pen (color optional) using line and tone
These drawings should attempt to portray the figure in a convincing manner, using extreme foreshortening. Do not include any details such as facial features, or hair unless sketched in very generally.
Work from a live model or a photograph of a model.
The PPT below contains photographs of models in foreshortened poses.
Be sure to step back often
