Step
1:
Our next pose is
similar to the last one, but now one of
the legs is foreshortened in addition to
the arms, and the upper half of the left
arm isn't visible at all since its hidden
behind the torso. Start again with the
head, torso and waist at a 3/4 view, but
now tilt the forms so that it looks like
he is leaning over. When a character leans
over, you'll notice that the back of the
ribcage is large enough that it begins to
surround the head. There is a better
example of this further on, but I'll get
to that in a moment. For now, just take
note that the neck isn't going to be as
visible when the character is leaning
foward, since the head blocks the lower
part of the neck, and swell of the muscles
on the back hide the upper part of the
neck.
Step
2:
Next, draw the arms
and legs. You will foreshorten the legs
the exact same way as you did the arms; if
the forms are moving away from you, slant
them inward; if they are moving towards
you, slant them outwards. Make the right
leg a little short, since it is bent
slightly forward towards you (look at the
other pictures to see what I
mean).
