Curated drawing studies · 10 references
Find the support points, then follow the weight through the pelvis and torso. Explore a pose or start an available timed practice.
These are separate AI-generated studies, not a recorded movement sequence or a guarantee of correct anatomy. Cross-check unclear joints and contacts.
Loading and pauses can extend your session. Revisiting a reference restarts its timer; skipping or finishing early can shorten it.
Compare planted soles and forefoot contacts with the pelvis above them. Notice the arms acting as counterbalance.

Mark the support footprint and contact points first. Connect them to the pelvis and rib cage with a simple line of action. Compare overlaps and near-to-far relationships, then use contact shadows to check where forms meet. A touching hand does not always bear weight.
10 different references, 30 seconds each: 5 minutes of scheduled drawing time. Focus on the main silhouette and support points. Available when the collection has 10 reviewed references.
5 different references, 2 minutes each: 10 minutes of scheduled drawing time. Trace the pelvis, rib cage, planted limbs and major overlaps. Available with at least 5 reviewed references.
Mark the contact points and major body masses before refining contours.
