Drawing Process
A quick illustration of my drawing process.
My approach is probably very much geared towards the way I draw now, but perhaps it's still of some use.
I start with a line for the shoulders and then form it into a box for the ribcage body. This can be twisted for turns and stuff, so it's pretty flexible.
I then complete the upper body with another box for the pelvis.
Then I add legs and feet. I use very few, long strokes for everything so that the figure remains clear and fluid.
Next are the arms and hands, similar to the legs and feet. Note that a lot of the parts of the figure form out of S and C curves. Focusing on curves like that leads to pleasing shapes.
And finally I add the head and neck. I feel like doing the head last works better for me since I get a better idea for the overall body shape through the ribcage and appendages.
