Art Tutorial: Body Proportion

i have posted this tutorial page in a forum i went often, but currently it is down, and i dedcided to post this in somewhere else too :)
this tutorial mainly talks about proportion and body scale
hope u enjoy, do drop by and post up some comment or ask questions :)


PICTURE1


The arm’s scale is being fixed, the joint A is the shoulder joint; the joint B is the elbow joint; while the area C is not a joint, but the center of the palm
The distance where A to B is equals to B to C


PICTURE2

If the wrist is twisted, then u have to swing the wrist, breaking the B to C section into 2


PICTURE3

When drawing the hands, it is better to draw the hands from 3 parts, the palm, thumb, then the four fingers. First, draw the palm. Second, add the thumb in place. Third, draw out the four fingers all together, and carefully note their length. Fourth, curl the fingers to the pose u want.


PICTURE4

Same as above, draw the palm first, then the thumb. Thirdly draw the four fingers together as if it is a boxing glove, cut the boxing glove into four piece to make the four fingers. Fourth, very good, u are learning quick.


PICTURE5

The picture note with orange colour is the neck joint. The red ones is the muscles. Don’t neglect this


PICTURE6

The orange part is the bone structure when a girl is stretching backwards. The red colour is the ribs.


PICTURE7

From left, the first one is the leg’s joints: from butt, then knee, then to the ankle; the left one is normally when people standing straight
The center one is the people resting their weight in either one of their legs
The one at the right is posing with “coolness” like how those model does, pretty cool


PICTURE8

I used the model at the right and drew this picture, the model stretch to side very dynamicly.


that's all for now, coming next: "how to draw legs XD"
