The Balance Line |
 |
This is a very important line to understand, and will make the
figure stand straight up and not look crooked, or as if she/he is
tipping over. Finding and keeping track of the Balance Line will
give your croquis a solid look, no matter how much you exaggerate
everything else.
The Balance Line moves between the feet, according to the center
of gravity on the pose, and is always a perfect vertical line from
the floor to the pit of the neck.
As the figure moves from one foot to the other, so does the
balance line. Create a guide for finding the correct placement of
the head in relation to the legs and feet. Notice how the balance
line shifts between the two feet as the figure moves.
