Some tips about dynamism:
-Your sketches will always be dirty as fuck at the beginning. It’s normal and it’s okay. What you’re looking for is the right movement, intensity and direction, not drawing the next Mona Lisa.
-Try a lot of different posings, the first one will rarely be the right one. Some posings will feel better than others. You can then focus on the ones you like best and push/exaggerate them.
-Use!!! references!!! Analyze the action you want to draw! Look at what moves and when it moves (the hand moves faster than the elbow maybe? the hip rotate to follow the bust maybe? analyyyyze!)
Not sure if I've asked this, butt in regards to your last picture you uploaded and all of your drawings, how do you know where to line up the head/cranium with the rest of the spine in cases where the head is turned or posed?
well that is simple, the head ideally sits in the middle of the spine…
positioning the head is not the difficult part, in most cases ‘artists’ don’t need to make things ‘look’ right but make it ‘feel’ right. specially when drawing idealized and/or from imagination altering proportions and poses is rather common ⁽ˢᵘᵖᵉʳʰᵉʳᵒ ᶜᵒᵐᶦᶜ ᵃʳᵗᶦˢᵗˢ ᶠᵒʳ ᵉˣᵃᵐᵖᶫᵉ⁾
the easiest way⁽ᶦᶰ ᵐʸ ᵒᵖᶦᶰᶦᵒᶰ⁾ is to use the shoulders. Most of the time when drawing poses i will actually place the shoulders first and then draw the head. Maybe try ‘gesture drawing’ as exercise.
Did a total revamp of Teru and changed up his back story. He still likes to felt animals though! Also, I just got an iPad which means TIME LAPSES YEEAAH. Takes way less steps than when I do it on my desktop.
