Hierarchy in this sense is basically talking about the order of importance of the shape. Imagine drawing a tree. You might draw a nice big triangle first. Then, within the triangle, you start going in there and adding definition around the edge, going in and out to form leaf shapes but never straying from your original triangle too much. This insures that it will always look like a nice big triangle tree, rather than a jumbled mess of leaves. You could then go in again and add missing brances n stuff (actually you'd probably do that first!), but the heirarchy is as follows Traingle missing branches leaves
That way you never stray from your original shape and keep everything ordered.
On the example above, its just to keep his collar into a cylinder, which you can then break into details within that shape.
I hope that's a little clearer, but its actually a fancy word for something we usually do automatically anyway.
Dude, his thumb is weird (top drawing). Seems to be missing a joint.
ReplyDeletesounds like something I'd do
ReplyDeleteMaybe explain hierarchy, too?
