How to Draw a Mouth
In this video lesson, you will discover how to draw from life by depicting the masses or volumes of a figure. The third sitting pose will complete this artwork. There are many different ways in which artists draw figures from life. In this example, I will show the way when a figure is not built using axes, proportions, measurements, alignments, or signs but is created with organic shapes that represent masses of body parts. For example, when drawing a ribcage, I'm interested in its three-dimensional mass and use several contours to illustrate its volume. Although seen in a similar view, the outlines of the two thighs look different. One outline reflects the forces of the chair while the other is free, but gravity plays its role.
