hampton's drawing list

today my class is turning in my midterm, and we're starting to learn about anatomy. i'm LOVING michael hampton's book on it, because he really breaks it down. super helpful, especially for beginners.

carrying on from my last post--he made a super concise list regarding constructing the figure. here, drink some of his wisdom. *goblet clink*

"It is important to keep in mind the overall process at this point. Remember the progression:

Gesture

Shapes

Landmarks/Volume

Anatomy

Value

Think of these as all being related. Any time you move to another step, that step still needs to address all that came before it. For example, when we start to develop anatomy, we have to address the three steps that came before it in order to stay true to the original intention or gesture. Additionally, remember that drawing the pecs or deltoid is the description of a smaller or micro-gesture that is a smaller argument in support of the larger idea (the initial gesture)." -Figure Drawing: Design and Invention, pg. 89
