Pose with primitives

Next I focused on the pose; the actual shapes of each individual body part are not so important at this stage. I just used spheres, cubes and a few pyramid shapes and blocked out the body, arms, legs, and a basic head. I used the knife tool to trim off parts of each of the primitives to get some nice chamfered edges that might catch the light. Where needed, I merged the parts together – for example, the forearm.
