The image of the human figure can be a very powerful thing. I have always been interested in the human figure-- the form in itself is amazing to me. These works were produced in a Human Figure course I took. Most of the following images are purely academic excercises for the purpose of simple rendering practice.

Although I enjoyed learning how to perfect rendering of the human form, I prefer using the form-manipulating it's attributes- and transforming the form into a vehicle for communication.
