As I was saying before, if you use straight lines on the body, it creates a two-dimensional
figure and there's no mass or volume shown, so I have here the incorrect way that you
would do it, which you don't want to, but, you need at least know. And if you don't pay
attention to the curves, which the curves mean, the seams, the hands, sleeves, folds,
the figure will look flat like a cardboard, cut out like a paper doll. This, as oppose
to the correct form when the lines are curve, and they respect the curves of the body, it
flows, there's a flow to it, it becomes three-dimensional, it's not a flat, boring drawing. You can see
movement. You can her leg is actually a leg, not a stick, with some lines on it. It's not
a deal suit, she's got an actual suit on that fits to her body. If we just concentrated
on the horizontal lines, there's this perspective to the body that changes at the waist. We'll
put the incorrect one out. The waist, is a sort of horizon line, consider that. And in
the two point perspective, the horizon line is the area that defines how perspective will
be seen, either from above or below. So that's where above and below changes as far as the
lines and how they're drawn.
