Box Mannequin

Focus

Draw the entire body as a collection of boxes only. No curves, no contours, just volumes.

Tip

Think of each body part as a 3D box in space. The rib cage is a big tilted box. The hips are a smaller box. The limbs are elongated boxes. This trains you to see the figure in 3D, not as a flat outline.
