More On Male And Female Nude Drawings

By Betty Mitchell


Art is a sector that has been on the move all over the world. It requires one to be very creative to meet the needs of the consumers. Art involves a lot of time, hard work and dedication. An example includes male and female nude drawings. This involves drawing the human form in its various shapes and bearing by use of drawing media. The level of presentation can be from highly detailed to loose and expressive sketches.

Artist can draw the figure of a human through observing as a live model and the approach is referred to as life drawing. Figure drawing contains study of the figure being drawn as you prepare for the more complete work such as painting. Figure drawing is classified as a hard run into for every artist and drawing courses are dedicated to it. Portraits, sculpture, illustration and others are forms of expressing the human figure.

Whenever artists are drawing the human figure, they tend to take different approaches. Some will draw from live models, from photographs, skeletal models or from their memory and imagination. When it comes to courses, they mainly focus on life drawing. Ever since photography was invented, the use of photography reference has been common though its usually criticized for producing flat images that do not capture the dynamic aspects of its subject.

Drawing from imagination is often praised because of the expression it encourages at the same time criticized for its inaccuracies experienced by the artists lack of knowledge or limited memory to visualize the figure of a human. Experience of these artists by use of other methods largely influences them on how the effectiveness of approaching this method.

While developing images, most artists will shift their focus on shapes formed by the interplay of the light and dark values on the outside the body. Others approach it anatomically where they begin by approximating the internal skeleton of the body by laying the internal organs and musculature and cover this shapes with the skin and finally with clothes. The study of ones internal structure is usually involved in this technique.

The other approach is where an artist loosely constructs the body out of geometric shapes to closely resemble the body to be drawn. Example includes a sphere for the cranium and a cylinder for the torso. The cylinders are refined to closely resemble the human form. Various artists use different approaches whenever drawing any nudes and it all depends on what they are good at.

Those working without visual references, there are proportions globally recommended in figure drawing and one should be aware that an average person is generally seven and a half heads tall. The illustration can be conducted to students using paper plates to visually demonstrate the length of their bodies.

Different artists are known to use different material in putting up their pieces such as charcoal, pencils, and other media known for this art. According to the modern artists, twisting proportions is seen as a way of putting more emphasis on the poses of the different models used. Having been invented decades ago, this form of art has considerably grown popular and keeps growing even bigger with each passing day.
