Various action poses
Drawing a human figure in various action poses is easier for the purpose of constructing model sheets, story boards etc... And here is another approach for figure drawing technique.
Things to contact us about :
Before entering in to the action poses, practicing the human stick figure in normal standing position is necessary. This will fetch you the perfect height proportion of the human.
Once after gaining a good practice in standing position we can switch over to the action poses. The following figures are action poses in standing positions. Generally these are called as rhythmic action poses (poses of dancing or moving body along with music, etc...). The below figure will give a clear understanding of rhythmic action poses.
The following figures are different action poses. It will be easy for the person who is drawing the action poses, if he or she gains the knowledge of the spine structure. Always draw a guide line of spinal cord. By following the spine we can easily draw the other divisions and parts.
Also the knowledge of the gravity is necessary i.e. While the human standing, how the gravitational forces will act on his body. The following figure will give you the idea about the gravity.
The center line is the plumb line and the two dashed lines along with the plumb line is the gravity line. The gravitational pull will act in a single point. Understanding the gravity point will result in a realistic pose, so a good practice is this section is mandatory. I suggest newbies to practice the above figures as many times as possible. Once attaining a thorough knowledge in poses and gravity, then newbies can move the block methods.
