To understand the “beans” principle from a three-dimensional standpoint, I tried to sculpt three different poses of some rough human figures that started from this “beans” shape. After I made the beans as the sculpting base, I gave them a centreline that acted as the centre of the figure. Then, I built the rough figures from that base.
Overall, sculpting with these beans as the base gave me more clarity in the process, compared to just sculpting the pose right away. Also, I got to be more familiar with using this “beans” concept for the life drawing by approaching it three-dimensionally.
