Human Form in Art.

Art in the form of human figure goes back ancient time in Egypt: people were portrayed with their head in outline and with entire eyes visible. They kept this Egyptian style in Egypt for approximately 3,000 years. Initially, people were portrayed in the form of profile then things got a little more interesting that people began to put more details in work. As time goes on and with the art has been developed in various doctrines, human figure becomes a popular form of art.
The life drawing shown above kind of inspires me in some ways. It is a good way for people to study shape, line work, tone and surely, human structure. Human figure in art bases on human figure and putting art elements that makes it pops out or something else.

Also these collage are some cool style of human figure arts in which surrealism is also involved in.
 I like this piece because it pretty close to my line work style as far as I can see in this picture. Loose line work and gesture drawing makes the figure in this piece even more active, dynamic.

  1. I appreciate the research you did and the juxtaposition you made between traditional figure drawings and modern ones with surrealistic quality. I can see how you take them in and use them in you drawings. Good work.
