Let's try drawing a
figure and specifically look at step two
where we flesh out our stick figure.
Notice that the figure to the left is on
several planes. You can tell this
because his right hand looks much larger
than his left hand or right foot. So
this means that the right hand is on the
plane that is closest to your eyes. And
since the right foot looks pretty small,
it's on the plane that is furthest from
your eyes. Notice also his legs. His
legs look a little small for his body -
this also shows that he's leaning
towards you, his shoulders are closer to
you than his pelvis. If we refer to his
torso as the "main plane", the bottom of
the mail plane, his pelvis - is further
from your eye than the top of the main
plane - his shoulders. Further, the top
of the main plane is also tilted so that
his right shoulder is closer to your eye
than his left shoulder.
It may help to
mentally turn the figure 90� to the
right so that you can see how he's
standing and see the planes that make up
the figure from a different angle. Click
the image to the right to enlarge it. Looking again at the legs, his left leg
bends towards your eye, the knee bends
so the lower leg is bending away from
you. His right leg is behind his pelvis
and is bending at the knee so the
right foot is the furthest part his body from
your eyes. His left foot is pointing
towards you, and his right foot is
pointing away from him. So in the
smaller inset image of him from the
side, his right foot is now facing you. |
