Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators
There is a great deal to absorb here, so let’s go through this step by step: 1. The applied and directional forces set up the body’s cohesiveness or rhythm. All of this happens for the body to stay in balance. This applied force obliquely crosses over the line of balance, equalizing force and weight on both sides of the body. 2. Notice the line of balance. It is a guide of equalization of force and weight of the model. The model’s head coincidentally happens to fall on the centerline.
