The arm’s scale is being fixed, the joint A is the shoulder joint; the joint B is the elbow joint; while the area C is not a joint, but the center of the palm
The distance where A to B is equals to B to C

If the wrist is twisted, then u have to swing the wrist, breaking the B to C section into

When drawing the hands, it is better to draw the hands from 3 parts, the palm, thumb, then the four fingers. First, draw the palm. Second, add the thumb in place. Third, draw out the four fingers all together, and carefully note their length. Fourth, fingers if u want to.

Same as above, draw the palm first, then the thumb. Thirdly draw the four fingers together as if it is a boxing glove, cut the boxing glove into four piece to make the four fingers. Fourth, very good, u are learning quick.

From left, the first one is the leg’s joints: from butt, then knee, then to the ankle; the left one is normally when people standing straight
The center one is the people resting their weight in either one of their legs
The one at the right is posing with “coolness” like how those model does, pretty cool

I used the model at the right and drew this picture, the model stretch to side very dynamicly.

that's all for now, coming next: "how to draw legs XD"

before the leg drawing tutorial, i would like to introduce the concept of golden section
which argues that art which drawn using the proportion of the golden section is beautiful
and many architure and drawings is using this concept to illustrate things to be more artistic
and this is how they draw a rectangular using the concept of golden section

u now might think of "why are u telling me this", and "is this true?" and "art cannot be explained logcially!"...
human proportions has some proportional relation to each other
like what u seen in "crime movies" the detectives estimated the culprit's height if they have the size of the foot or the gaps between their steps

and one of the proportion i had mentioned in this previous post is the shoulder, elbow and palm proportion
and i bet all of you already tried to measure your shoulder and palm proportion to see if it is correct :lol:
therefore, let's let's assume this idea has some validity shall we?

first we get to the formula of the concept:
A is the smaller portion
B is the bigger portion
C is the sum of both (A+B )

A is the scale of B, just like B is the scale of C
A : B, B : C

for example:
length from wrist to the edge of the index finger, is A
length from wrist to the elbow, is B
length from the index finger to the elbow, is C

and this page of wikipedia talks in detail of the
human body proportion and the vitruvian man

Wa Wikipedia!! it help me to reference to my assignmentS. btw this tutorial is here!!! it is very useful >_<

Leonardo Da VinCi really a genious that create this picture

respect........


thx coffee ping to have your wonderful sharing about Body proportion, it is lovely ;) :lol:

Lol, the vitruvian man.

Leonardo da Vinci probably pwned the world several dozen times during his lifetime.

Very useful guide. If I hadnt already known how what proportion is :lol:
