Beginner Figure Drawing - Drawing The Torso

In Lesson 11 of our Figure Drawing series we'll take a look at a more detailed approach to how the Torso is constructed.  In this lesson we'll cover the basic shapes and forms the torso makes, before going over the biggest areas of muscle which help give the torso its overall form.  We'll also look at the Torso in gesture, differences between Men and Women torso shapes and finally finishing everything off with a 20 minute Timed drawing session.
