Sample 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 body parts bend, they form folds at the inner bending area and produce pulling wrinkles as they radiate from the outer bending area.
This approach helps me to modify the body movements, actions, or attitudes that define the body as being alive. The greatest benefit of using abstract shapes 1-30 Abstract Stick Figures in Action in poses is that doing so will eliminate a lot of meandering lines and shapes that don’t say anything about the character. The most important element in drawing a figure is to establish the body frame before proceeding with the details. The tendency to start a figure in detail at one spot and then proceed to the end usually causes incorrect proportions and uncontrolled figure placement on the page.
In general, joints appear more noticeable in a thinner or bonier body. If the joints are covered by thick fat tissue, as in a heavier body, this will limit the body movements and the body will show more rounded, curved lines and shapes. When contouring a thin or bony figure, you should emphasize the angular bone structure with firmer, smaller muscles. 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).
