Use straight lines to chop out the major silhouette. Hu calls this "building the cage." It corrects the proportional errors that occur when you draw organically from the inside out. Hu’s legacy is visible in how his students
Dynamic Sketching: The Constructive Vision of Charles Hu In the world of visual development and concept art, the ability to translate complex three-dimensional objects onto a two-dimensional surface with speed and accuracy is a defining skill.
