Beginner Figure Drawing Fundamentals - Figure Proportions and Balance

In this lesson, we cover Stage 3 of figure drawing - Proportions. We'll break down the figure proportions from the front, profile and back.  We'll also look at how we go about juggling it with our first two stages of Figure Drawing, Gesture and Construction. We'll also take a look at Balancing the figure and how to develop a Drawing Process for ourselves. This lesson is best studied along side Lesson 3 - Construction of the Body Parts.
