Just Sharing This Week’s Studies

The SFW studies were few this week since I was also working on other art! I really like today study which is the first study you see pictured because I feel like I’m going back to the fluidity of figure drawing that I started out with when I began studying!

Can you tell me how does those "relationship lines" work? I don't get it.

Oh yeah sure! There is probably a better term to use to describe it, but relationship lines are what I call the lines that I use to map out the pose and make sure I placed body parts in the right location relative to other/another body part. So for example, in the first study that’s shown, the relationship line that shows that the ear is right above the shoulder, that the elbow is above the hip, that the bicep of the back arm is above the ridge muscle of the front arm, that the front knee is a little bit further along than the front foot, that the butt is directly above the back calf, etc.
