Art : Planar Analysis and Structural Line

Create a series of positive/negative shape sketches in newsprint of your chosen model pose.

Use sighting as demonstrated by the following videos to capture the essential angles and shape of the figure in space. It is important to concentrate on the negative space.

The negative spaces are the spaces around and between the forms, such as the space between the bent arm and torso. If you draw these negative spaces accurately the drawing will be very accurate. Whatever drawings you do from observation, drawing the negative spaces accurately will improve the accuracy of your drawing.
