Evening Drawing
Week 3: Half body poses
Helena Lukášová, Hana Pokojná

Upper body
•Great for composition, sometimes the measurements are off for a full body- don’t be scared to draw
just part of the body!
•A sign of good artist is to draw the body: main part of the entire body, from all sides accurately
•Most prominent part in
 fashion design

The body
•Don’t forget the anatomy

Dynamics
•You can show dynamic movement with just the body, even without depicting the appendages.

•Think back to the line of action
•Main part here is the spine (main body) and how the other body parts attach to it


….. Or the lack of movement, but it has character without even showing the face!
