No, I wasn't saying that yours should look like Coe's, Nix. I merely said that Coe's was close to our first lesson.

Here's our first lesson. We ALL must start somewhere and great artists still start with stick figures. It's kinda like an outline, we will add more detail soon. It's good practice to use stick figures to get proportion/scale down.

Pay attention to how many heads make up the body, it's usually around 8-9 heads long. Notice how the legs are approximately 4 heads long and the body is around 3 heads long. Also, notice that the hands go down about halfway down the thighs. The shoulders are slouched as well, and the rib cage is curved under where the diaphragm is. When you draw people think of the bones that is the ouline of a human. I also like to mark where the bones stick out, such as the shoulders, knees and elbows. Practice these over and over to get familar with each body part and how long and big it is.

You can copy mine exactly the way it is, I strictly believe in copying there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with it. When you copy you always start to notice different things and then when you do your own you will remember those certain things. If you feel you can do it pretty well go ahead and do your own too. REMEMBER to pay attention to each body part as it is related to others. Like from the top of the head to the bottom of the pelvic circle is just as long as from the bottom of the pelvic circle to the feet. Also, remember to practice practice practice, because practice really does make perfect!

Also, make note that this is probably a female figure because in a male the upper torso is more V shaped and everything is more pulled together.

1 more thing. If you want to take it a step further look up a model of someone on google.com and draw the stick figure of them. That could help a whole lot too!

Very good proportion Nix! Keep practicing on it, these are very very important and we will expand upon these stick figures in the next section.

Alright I dont appreciate your insults and I meant that I dont have much on my computer to show the OP. I found it funny that I happened to come across this particular thread since I am in art school. I was going to join in but thanks to your bad attitude, I wont. So thanks.

I didn't mean to be mean or rude. Sorry. I was just curious.
ETA: Don't not join in just because of me. It wasn't Smitten's fault.
