Seeing People as a Whole

An awareness of “the whole” is the most difficult perceptual skill to explain. It generally develops as your drawing improves. Essentially, it is important to be aware of the figure as a whole, even as you draw the smaller components that make up the body. As you look and draw, you want to zoom into specific details to tap into the finer proportions of the figure, and then to zoom out again to appreciate the overall form.

If you only work from one part of the body to another you tend to slip out of proportion over the course of the whole drawing, so that by the end you may have lost the top of the head off the page, feet off the bottom, or have the head fall out of proportion with the torso. If you notice something going wrong correct it immediately; it is better to establish good habits than to preserve disparate elements of the drawing. It is always okay to allow a drawing to distort if that is your intention but remember that stylization isn’t the same as incompetence.
