WARM UP

COMPOUND OBJECTS- 6 minutes

 

Draw several groupings of basic shapes that relate to one another in space. Choose a variety of shapes- spheres, cubes, cylinders- and rotate them various ways before drawing them in overlapping positions.

 

Be deliberate and remember that as objects recede from you they get smaller.

 

More than anything this is a thinking exercise. If you already have some knowledge about anatomy and figure construction, feel free to incorporate that knowledge here. Nearly all of the structure of the body can be reduced to basic shapes. Get as specific or abstracted as you like.
