So I got a lot of requests from people to show how to draw the torso or the figure... Well... lol. I'm not very good with those! My specialty is faces... But anyway, I tried to show how I basically do figures. I usually am using paper and they look a bit better but hopefully the general idea comes through. I start with the spine and head and ribs and pelvis, then make the arms and legs and do it all very roughly. Then I make a body out of that. On paper I let it stay really rough and then I can trace over the good lines on a clean sheet. On computer it's easier by just using layers. I haven't had any formal training ( obviously ) so if you are good at figure drawing and could offer advice or tips, they'd be welcome. :)

Aug 29, 2011 - wow your drawing style is almost like my own except I use all circles with the exception of the rib cage and hardly use the stick figure set - up in most cases but all in all this legit.
