MODULE 1 • MAPPING BACK GESTURE
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | The first step is to establish a 13 ½” (34.3cm) long plum line on the center of your 11” (27.9cm) x 17” (43.2cm) paper, using your graphite lead pencil. Place a mark at ½” (1.3cm) away from the top of the paper, then measure down 13 ½” (34.3cm) with your clear plastic ruler and place another mark. For this lesson, we will be using a stylized version of the 10-head equal proportion concept. |
| 2 | Map the position of head in the first head section. Draw the head as an elongated egg shape. |
| 3A | Draw the plum line down the center of the head to the crotch, which is positioned midway between the top and bottom plum line marks. Add a circle suggesting the right hip socket, then continue mapping the leg, indicating the knee midway between crotch and ankle. Continue the leg to the ankle. |
