Human figure is indeed quite tricky as our body structure constantly changes as we move around. Research on human figures had been conducted since the Renaissance era, in which Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael had became the pioneers in drawing and sculpting human figures.

I had circled three characters in the picture above. It might be interesting for you to note that the circled person from left: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
The method I used for training is by drawing human figures from newspapers, magazines, or other source of pictures. I will share the technique with you in the next post.
