Development of the figure model from the Skeleton layer to the simplified muscle layer

Media: Black Fine-liner, Red and Orange Markers

Development of the figure model from the Skeleton layer to the simplified muscle layer

Media: 4B Graphite Pencil, Red Colour Pencil

An experimental piece with the skeleton model of the figure with water colour. Choosing to make the figure brown gives the feeling of robotic texture, while the blue vague background is done as like clouds to present emptiness and soft texture in contrast to the figure.

Figure Study 1

Figure Study & Experiments: Phrase 1 Development

Building up from the anatomy study of the figure, I created a simple skeleton structure of the figure. It simplifies the structure into a basic model, mannequin or even robot looking figure.
