Figure DrawingMore than ANY other subject matter, when we draw the human figure, we tend to ignore what we see and draw from our imagination. This is because the human figure is the most familiar of all subjects, which makes it difficult to approach it without preconceptions.

Let’s look at three different types of figure drawing:

Gesture

Contour

Volume

Page 3: Figure Drawing Powerpoint

Gesture DrawingPurpose: To Capture the pose of the model

in the quickest, most economical manner

Use drawing materials Do a series of quick poses Don’t be concerned with details

Even 30-second poses can capture the essential aspects of a

figure.

Contour Drawing

Use drawing materials Concentrate on the

outside edge of the model or part of the body

Draw only when you are looking AT the model. You should look at the model more than you look at your paper.

Purpose: To become more aware of the outer edges of forms or figures.

Contour Drawings

• Contour drawings should describe outer AND inner contours. Lines may turn inwards to describe fabric folds and other details. Lines may change thicknesses to describe deep creases, shadowed areas, or subtle edges.

Page 14: Figure Drawing Powerpoint

Volume Drawing Use drawing materials NO lines used (except for initial

light sketch) Notice how clothing drapes on

the body. Visualize the way the neck, arms, shoulders, hips, legs, etc. join below the fabric.

Use a wide range of values to create depth, form, highlights, shadows, texture, etc.

Purpose: To study the forms of the human figure

Colored paper can add a great medium tone to the drawing.
