#drawing movement

[mayax81]

comics depicting moving body parts as:

the color-filled final/important frame with the side-gestures drawn as only lineart

vs

nightmarish body horror where limbs and faces seem to duplicate and melt apart, tearing at the intersection such that you think they might burst downward into a bloody chasm of indecisive flesh

It’s one of my best one from my old sketchbook...

Better Art Challenge: Movement

for this day, I wanted to just focus on capturing poses and movement. Obviously action lines work well but I wanted to try to make some not really dynamic poses more dynamic I guess?? I don’t know, I tried. I kept my stabilizer on zero and tried to not worry about proportions as much and more on the actual poses.

I recommend this exercise to help loosen up one’s hand and just get some inspiration. I kinda just started squiggling and the ideas just came from there really. 

Also line of action can be really useful but I kinda already went over it when working with arms and legs so you can check that out if you want :)

Also disclaimer: not professional, just trying best and maybe informing. hope this maybe helped? and have a nice day :)))

Today i obsessed over details. I also tried to finish an illustration for someone else i need to finally deliver. My neck and shoulders feel like concrete and podcasts are the best. Maybe i’m trying to do too many things at once but i just want these two things out already! The collection of sketches from Kyoto has been in the works for a long time. I think it might’ve been more than a year? But the frustrating part is that it’s been sitting around 80% done for at least... half a year. In which many attempts were made but very little happened. So i am reeeeally excited about finally pushing it to 100!!! I can do this! Two days left! Well. One and an evening, technically.

Drawing figure in motion tutorial

Bit of a tutorial/exercise I made for @nerd-crafter-pira who asked me how I draw people and how they move. I might post some more later on.

These are just tips & tricks and examples of things that work for me personally, please see them as good practice and not as The One And Only Way™ The real secret in learning is just doing it and repeating endlessly!
