In Obervational Drawing we learned how to give volume and value to the 4 basic shapes: cube, sphere, cylinder, and pyramid. In Life Drawing we learn how to find these basic shapes in the figure. Hips are cubes, heads are oblonged spheres, arms and legs are cylinders, and the torso can be a cube if it is a male or a sphere if it is a female.
This also acts as building the bone structure for our figure.
We also learned how to overlap these shapes to give them depth, or value. This gives the figure a 3D, realistic quality. A good tool to use overlapping is to find the 'T' in a drawing.
Take a look and see how many 'T's you can find in these overlapping shapes.
