- Build strokes down the arms and abdo-
men, then create a block for the pelvis (see
Figure 10.15).
- Further refine the forms of the legs. In
Figure 10.16 you can see the strokes used to
build the knees and calves. You can also see
the buttocks suggested with brush strokes. We
are most concerned with big shapes and broad
strokes. Avoid trying to represent individual
muscles as much as possible.
- The torso and head are further refined
with more strokes. Don’t be afraid to work
quickly and smooth your strokes as you go
(Figure 10.17). Work from the side view as
well. Aim to capture the rhythms in the silhou-
ette of your figure (Figure 10.18).
Figure 10.16 From the back view, you can see the knees, calves, and buttocks built with
strokes.
