This book will help you learn how to reduce the human figure to these basic shapes. You will learn how to determine the magnitude of the individual parts in relation to the overall shape. We will illustrate ways to connect these individual shapes and demonstrate how the parts move. In other words, we will explore the basic structure of the human figure. We will then show what the construction of the figure looks like in any position, in any movement. Focus on the basic structure until you can do whatever you want with it.
