MORE COMPLEX FORMS
The figure here is constructed of basic forms fused together. The thigh, for
example, is a squared-off cylinder, and the hips are square on the sides but
rounded in front because of the abdominals. Molding simple forms together
creates more complex forms that more precisely represent your subject.
BUILD FROM SIMPLE TO COMPLEX
By starting out with basic forms, then combining
them into more complex forms, you can finally
begin to mold them into forms that more
accurately represent the specific form
of your subject. The basic volumes
of the sphere, box and cylinder
have carried through to the
more complex shapes in
this drawing.
