FEMALE FIGURE

A good understanding of basic body structures

and how they work is fundamental in order to draw

functional characters for comics, video games, and

animations. The more anatomy studies you can

complete, the better your results will be. Your effort

will definitely be reflected in your artwork.

Using the same process as the earlier male figure,

you start by recognizing the general structure and

form of the body using a real-life reference so you can

visualize from different perspectives. I took this picture

of my daughter Nahomi from the floor angled upward

at a ¾ view. This perspective gives me the opportunity

to better show how to work with geometric figures to

create volume in your figures.
