						| You can draw faces now after 
						looking at the Drawing Portraits section, so lets 
						continue down past the head and draw the rest of the 
						body! Artists call drawing the human body 
						
						Figure Drawing,
						because you're drawing the human body, or 
						figure. In the 
						
						Figure Drawing 
						section we'll look into the proportions of the human 
						body, and how to draw a three dimensional human body in 
						two dimensions on your sheet of drawing paper.
						
						
						How big should the head be in relation to the 
						rest of the body? Where exactly is the elbow supposed to 
						be on the arm? I can't draw
						
						
						hands! Well, you'll learn how to draw hands - 
						and
						
						
						feet too! We'll take drawing the body from 
						the beginning, we'll start simple, then work our way 
						into the more detailed aspects of drawing the human 
						body. |  |  |  |
