SPHERICAL FIGURESOnce you understand how to mold spheres into more complexshapes, it is not a difficult jump to using spheres to createsimple anatomical forms. The figure on this page was createdusing only modeled and interconnected spheres. The figureappears to have real mass because it takes advantage of thesphere’s simple, volumetric form.SPHERES CAN BE MOLDED INTO ANYTHINGIn this drawing you can see how the torso is just a spherical shape bentover to the left, stretching the right side. Connecting spheres togethercreated the leg, and the pillow is simply a twisted sphere.
PRACTICE: SPHERICAL FIGURESAnalyze how spheres were used to create these figures.Get tracing paper and draw the spheres themselves alongwith cross-contour lines that you wrap around each form.FIGURES BUILT FROM SPHERES
