Hey kiddos! Handsome Jack here! Now I know what you’re thinking, “But Jack, don’t you have a amazingly powerful company to run, a vault to open, and bandit scum to wipe off the planet?”, and you’d be right on all accounts! But it just so happens, I’m so amazing I can keep tabs on all of you while I plan the complete domination of Pandora!
So drop me a message! It might even get through Hyperion’s newly installed screening process. You could even visit the office! If, you know, you can get through the seven levels of extremely armed and dangerous Hyperion security. Have fun, kids!

Dang it. My feels.
some su sketches from the weekend!
by any chance could you do a lil tutorial/process of how you draw limbs in different poses? esp. legs/thighs, your legs always look so jaunty and charming i love it but i never know what to, ,, ,,, do with mine, like where to put them so
Okay! I’m going to try to answer this best I can, but before I do, please remember I am just a humble animation student and by no means a professional artist or a seasoned expert, so this might not be the correct way to do things or be extremely accurate. This is just how I do it, and a couple tips I’ve picked up from teachers at school.
First of all, getting familiar with the anatomy of legs helps a lot! (I know this is the dreaded answer to every art question) I don’t know too much about the muscles of the legs other than the basics, so I don’t talk about them here because I don’t want to look like an idiot. They’re very worth studying though, especially the muscles that form the inside of the thigh and back of the calf.
Those are some leg studies I did from life in class last year, with the key parts labelled.
Chances are you’ve tried to draw legs and??
Unless you’re going for a certain style, legs that look like straight tubes or 90 degree angles are gonna look a bit weird.
As you can see with the life drawings above, legs have certain natural curves and rhythms to them! None of the bones in the legs are straight or tubular, so your legs should not be either.
Sorry for the really mediocre pelvis it’s not my strong suit oh god. It’s easy to characterize the legs as something like this:
Remembering that the knee is a hinge joint and that it has a sort of curved offset from the upper leg to the lower leg really helps.
So when you keep that offset in mind and apply some curves over the muscle and fat layered on top of those BEAUTIFULLY RHYTHMIC bones, you get dynamic flow in your legs. The hip (trochanter), kneecap (patella) and ankle (fibula/tibia malleolus) are good landmarks to keep in mind.
So by applying some curves, you get a softer/more dynamic/rhythmic feel to the legs that makes your figure look a lot less static even if they are standing entirely still. It’s also worth noting most people shift their weight onto one hip or another, position their feet weirdly, etc etc.
Hope that helps!
The Siege of Vergen
We exist for a mere blink of an eye in astronomical terms.
I finally managed to acquire a poncho in the style of the ones my characters in my comic wear and these are the first in a series of studies of it I’m making. Ponchos are very unusual and it’s wonderful that I no longer have to guess how they look if I’m caught with a strange pose.
A super quick trick for drawing draped fabric that my art teacher taught me in high school.
THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE
