Oh a base would be nice, and anatomy tips (maybe both if you’re up to it)
It’s kind of like that somewhat sideways pie where they have one arm around the others neck, and looking forward. I’m just not the best at side view, or scaling ;-;
Is this sorta the pose you were thinkin of?
Also, I’m too lazy to make a step-by-step tutorial that’s easy top follow. Here’s a couple sketches of my process.
Disclaimer: I’m still learning anatomy and by no means am I an expert. This is just my current process for my styles
And an alternate way to do that I use sometimes
I always recommend using real life references, doin gestures and stealing other artists’ process. I love speedpaints because I can study it and see what tools they’re using and steal how an artist shades or builds anatomy or does lineart or chooses colors. I hope this helps!
