THE BODY

THE BODY 
The human body is challenging to render; therefore, it's important to start with a quick drawing of the basic skeletal structure. The human skeleton can be compared to the wood frame of a house; it supports and affects the figure's entire form.


The frontal view illustrates the planes of the body which are created from the skeletons form. In men's bodies especially, the torso forms a triangle shape between the shoulder blades and the waist. In women's torsos, the triangle shape genera ally is less pronounced, and their bodies can even resemble an inverted triangle. 






Michelangelo dissected human cadavers to learn about sheletal and muscle structure!

The muscles also affect the body's form. To gain further insight into shading the contours of the body, study the human muscular structure.
