CREATING BASIC FORMS
Improve the way you draw figures by learning easy ways to establish the underlying structure of the human body
If you want to illustrate stories or book covers, design conceptually for games, or draw storyboards, it’s vital to grasp the foundations of representational art. With most stories you’ll want to involve people; it’s key to understand how to draw the human figure, in a static pose and in action.
There are several techniques for drawing the human body, all leading to a similar goal: a three-dimensional, realistic figure. While it’s not necessary to be an expert on anatomy to produce illustrations, the more knowledge you have, the easier it will be to solve problems and reach clear-cut solutions for any drawing you make.
What you lack in the foundations of your knowledge will show up in your work – in other words, the lack of understanding of certain key principles will be all too apparent in your finished piece. An artist’s style can be reflective of a lack of understanding just as much as it can be a showcase for the total sum of his or her knowledge. Avoid that trap.
Figuring it out: two ways to draw
There are two distinct approaches to figure drawing: observational and formulaic. It pays to master both…
Learning to draw the human form can be a daunting prospect for any fledgling artist. Therefore, it’s important to know what methods are available to you. The two approaches to figure drawing that I feel to be distinct are the observational approach and the formulaic approach.
Observational drawing has its origins in the sight-size methodology, which trains the eye to view a subject with accuracy, placing the object and the drawing side by side for comparative analysis. Plumb lines, levels, a fixed point, and a measuring line are used to help the artist in understanding dimensional and spatial measuring.
Observational drawing is a complex process that requires a great deal of reference material to accompany the words to be fully explained. In this part of our anatomy workshop, I’m going to take a detailed look at two of my favored methods of formulaic drawing.
Formulaic figure drawing uses abstract rhythms or interlocking shapes – basically design concepts – to build on. Once these formulas are memorized by drawing from life, you have a set of tools to recall, enabling you to design from your imagination if you wish.
It’s important to have a solid understanding of both approaches if you truly want to be free as an artist. Observational drawing sharpens the eye and mind to capturing a likeness without using abstract concepts; formulaic drawing gives you a set of tools to develop both from life and, more importantly, from your mind’s eye.
1. REILLY’S SIX LINES TO THE TORSO
Exploring the Reilly method for figures
In this drawing system, you build a framework of overlapping lines to create the basis of your figure
There are as many ways to construct a human figure as there are artists, but two systems in particular form the basis of many artists’ working practices. On here and here, you’ll explore the Industrial Design method; but first, let’s look at the Reilly method.
Frank Reilly was an illustrator and instructor in the early and mid-20th century. He created a system of teaching that enabled students to quickly and easily digest the problems of drawing and painting, giving abstract concepts labels and definable schematics, and building a noteworthy step-by-step c...
