Hey there, Liron here!
Today we’re finally concluding our 3 vids series with this guide on drawing figures using SIMPLE 3D shapes!

Hopefully everything we practiced so far will fall neatly into place with this one ^_^

We’ll look at a couple of figures performing different actions, analyze the different parts of the body, and then draw them using the shapes we learned so far.

Photo references can be found here:

Key takeaways:
- Idle poses can be quite challenging to draw accurately
- Take your time to truly see where each shape is facing, AND how it relates to the shapes around it
- Use the ellipses trick for figuring out how to orient boxes
- Always remember - closer objects appear larger
- Slow & steady wins the race! Take as much time for analysis as necessary, before drawing.
- Bonus tip - if you’re struggling with a pose, it’s sometimes a good idea to re-enact it! This will demonstrate where the balance is, and what the model is feeling as they’re doing the pose. And it WILL help you with drawing it (:

Good luck! Let me know your questions below and I’ll be sure to do a follow-up vid in the future.
