Activity Two
Using a wooden
mannequin,
sketch the figure
from the front.
Now that you have practiced 3D drawing with a wooden mannequin,
choose somebody you would like to make a sculpture of. It can be a
famous sports, music or TV personality, or a friend.
Decide on the pose for your sculpture. For example, kicking a ball or
singing into a microphone. Find different references or ask a friend to
pose in that position.
a) Start by sketching the pose from the front
b) Now create a sketch of the same pose from the side
c) Now draw a sketch from behind
d) Add the necessary details to your sketch to make your person recognisable
