To begin the drawing, draw the stick
figure. Let's try and make it as accurate as possible, so begin
by measuring the height of the head from chin to the top of the
head. We'll use that measurement as our Standard Unit of Measure
(SUM). Using the SUM, measure the entire height of the figure
from the toe of the left foot to the top of the head. I come up
with six heads high. Remember, since this figure is not standing
straight up, the basic measurements that we discussed at the
beginning of the Figure Drawing section do not really apply. So
draw your head in the top third of your paper, slightly to the
right of center. Remember to leave room at the top of the paper
so you'll have room to draw the right arm. The shoulders will be
about one and one quarter heads wide, from the left shoulder to
where the bicep meets the shoulder on the right arm. I drew
circles to mark his shoulders, and also drew a shape to define
his upper chest. Next I measured that to the bottom of the groin
is about three and a quarter heads. And as you can see I drew a
"tighty whitey" looking shape to mark where the pelvis will be.
Next I measured from the top of the thigh to the middle of the
knee on the left leg, and marked the knee with a circle. Then I
measured the length of the left shin and drew in where the left
foot would go. Continue like this and draw the stick figure. |
