Tutorial Introduction
Drawing the Human Figure
Using Basic Shapes
In this tutorial you will learn how to simplify the human figure into basic shapes. Memorizing the human anatomy can be daunting, but when you break it down into basic simple shapes like a sphere, a box or a cylinder, you will be able to construct the human figure in a much simpler way. After that you will learn how to combine all these shapes together in a Peanut like shape to make the process of drawing the figure (even in complex poses) much easier. In short, you will learn how to draw the figure from reference or imagination in a correct and easy way.
