Basic body drawing for measurements

20150424 WOMAN TOTAL DRAFT 1

That took a little longer than I expected but herewith draft 1 of the drawings I would like to use for explaining body measurements. They are to be used as drawings for educational material online and in classes. As you can see drawing does not exactly come naturally to me but they are here! Please let me know what you think. I especially interested in hearing about the proportions, the posture and wether or not she should be wearing undergarments.

I deliberately chose an adult women in not your ‘standard’ size 36 (6) because, well, I have had it with idealizing bodies which are not reality to 95% of our worlds female population.

Looking at this now I can see the bum of the side view might be a little low in comparison to the back and front view. I will be redoing the feet of the front view and fill in the hands of the side view. But not now ;-).

If you have got time, please let me know what your thoughts are.

Have a nice day!

Regards, Martine
