Drawing tips
- The underside of the chin, jaw and ribcage show; the top of the head disappears.
- The body tapers up toward the head, so the feet and legs appear largest.
- Ellipses at the waist and wrists curve upward when seen from below.
Practice these poses on a timer, 30 seconds to 10 minutes each.
