Example text

When the body moves, the wrinkles and folds increase and become more visible, and they always follow the body action forms. It is not necessary to indicate all the detailed wrinkles and folds, since there are so many. You should draw just major ones to emphasize the actions. Wrinkles and folds are located where joints move (see Figure 1-77). We see them around armpits, elbow and knee bending areas, under busts, at waistlines, and around crotch areas.

When drawing a heavy figure, emphasize the roundness and ample flesh more than the bone structures. Drawing the Figure m 25 Contouring the Stick Figure from Head to Feet Contouring the Head Contour the head as egg-shaped and the neck as cylinder-shaped (see Figure 1-32).
