Figure

This weeks figure ref’s come with some exercises. When you add figures to a landscape/cityscape details become impossible to explore fully. The key then becomes a strong silhouette. One that, without details, indicates body language. The following figure illustrations start with just a silhouette. The more detailed illustration follows.

Draw just the silhouette first. Make sure the body language is clear. Then, with out using the detailed reference, add in the details using just your own mental visual library, finish the internal sections of the silhoutte.

Be sure to let me know how this exercise works for you.
