really admite your way to make the characters always feel so... balanced???? I tried learning from your style and how you piece apart characters, but I feel like I'm missing something in keeping them like- idk- even still, I feel improved a bit? We'll see with my next drawing haha!
Any tips moving forwards??? I really want to start being able to draw scenes and stuff, but I just don't know how to get my poses to feel balanced and not looking like their seconds from falling over
I tried doing that study tip where you take artist’s you admire and ‘referencing’/‘breaking down’ their style
It's important to think about weight distribution and centre of balance. There's definitely people that can explain it better than me but generally, the character's head is going to align with their centre of balance, and the rest of their body weight should be equally distributed on either side
here's some examples in my stuff, I'm not always exact exact with it, but it's good enough that the weight and balance is believable
If we take this drawing of deku, just lifting up his one leg and keeping everything else the same would make him topple over. He needs a counterweight to stay balanced, which means bringing the foot that's still grounded further under his head and pushing his hips out to counteract the weight on the other side
Looking at this pose you drew, I think it would benefit from the same thing, the foot grounding the character should be further under them to make up for the weight of the raised leg and the back arm. This also helps create a much stronger line of action!
Hope that helps!! Your sketches look super cute !
