Study group - simple forms 2

3 gesture drawings with cross contour lines

I’m on vacation this week, so this will be quick. We are continuing to draw simple forms this week, with a focus on finding those shapes in a human body. The above gesture drawings have cross contour lines to help show the volumes in the form. The first gesture was made trying to study the style of Michael Hampton. It’s the same reference as the second gesture, but I’m sure you’ll agree with me the second one makes it much clearer the way she’s facing. Having the spine forward like that just makes it confusing.

Cylinder arms and then overlaid with muscle shape diagrams. These all still feel pretty rough to me.
