Drawing Notes

  • On humans, each leg segment is about as long as the body. On Bionicle figures (or at least 2001-2004), they are usually only slightly longer than the body combined. Upper legs are shorter than lower.

Arm segments are slightly shorter than leg segments on human forms, with the elbows being slightly above where the hips begin to curve out, so that the wider part of the elbows fit in the thinner part of the body. Hands usually end, when fully extended, halfway down the upper legs. On Bionicle figures, this is about the same; or should be...

When the arms are raised as high as they can be, the head ends just below the elbow's starting point. Unless you're drawing ridiculously big-headed cartoons.

Masculine torsos are hard to draw. Any tips?

Implement a male human torso to a Bionicle drawing. Their chest area is the same diameter as the pelvis.

 

For better details on muscles, refer to an anatomy book/website.

Another technique I find useful (but only if you can foreshorten):

The Wrist to the Elbow is the same length as the foot, heel to farthest toe. Useful for me, because I can't draw feet very well. :P
