Seated person marker study

One complete adult sitting on a plain low cube, hands resting on thighs, plain shirt and trousers, both feet visible. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in black and gray marker.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Place the torso above the cube and bent thighs.

2. Connect the structure

   Connect the lower legs, feet and resting arms.

3. Develop the drawing

   Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

A small thing to tryKeep the knees and feet connected through coherent leg bends.
