When drawing your comic panels, sketches, and so on for humanoid characters, how do you handle anatomy?

I’d guess that it’s a pretty instinctual thing for you by this point after seeing all your (awesome, amazing, WOW I strive to draw as good as you do one day) art. I can’t manage to draw anything past a simple headshot lol, and even then I still struggle a good bit. I feel like I’ve gotten a lot better than I used to be though, and that’s definitely a good feeling.

Any helpful tips? It’s fine if you don’t have any though—I was just curious.

Whether you are a begginer or more advanced at drawing references are always helpful, not necessarily meaning to copy them but rather to study them so you can figure out how the body works and you can pose it however you want more easily! I'm still not that good but with enough practice they can look pretty decent.

I feel you about drawing headshots only, i used to do that a lot too. You could try to thumbnail (basically make a little sketch) your idea so you see the whole picture rather than just focusing all your attention in a portrait.

Iiiii hope this makes sense and hopefully helps? There're really good video tutorials on youtube that go WAY more into detail to tackle anatomy that have helped me a lot, Proko, Mark Brunet, Ethan Becker's channels are some that come to mind!

GUYS PLEASE HELP I HAVE A QUESTION

it’s my first year in the yr fandom and yknow how the release date for ep 1-5 is on march 11, so do they mean that it will release EVERYWHERE once it hits march 11 in sweden, or will they release it INDIVIDUALLY when each country hits march 11 (for instance if you’re in the US, it would release in the east coast first at 12 am march 11 and then in the west coast at 12 am march 11)

It will be released at midnight March 11th Pacific time (Netflix HQ is in California). Everyone gets it simultaneously. So for me, it will be released at 3am my time. 😴

One thing to keep in mind is that on March 10th, the U.S. turns its clocks forward one hour for daylight savings. (I think Canada does as well?) So there will be a different time difference between the U.S. and most other countries than there is now.

So today, for example, there's a 9 hour time difference between L.A. and Stockholm, but on March 11, there will be an 8 hour difference.

I think scapegoat is the word I was looking for yes thank you! The way they use him being messed up as a synonym for arsehole lol, for drama and story purposes is quite different to e.g. how they use Stacey and Jean's (and now Isaac's??) mental illnesses for stories because of the fact the audience knows they have mental health issues.

Tbqh I think they've missed some opportunities and got a bit lazy with Ben? So at this point a lot of the audience probably forgets his traumatic experiences or doesn't consider them as damaging as they were and therefore his actions and the reasons feel disconnected. Like the number of people who call home cry baby over Phil stuff 💀. It's a shame really as there's so many interesting things they could do with his experiences e.g. Stella, young offenders but they've sort of got him stuck in the role of resident arsehole to an extent sadly!

Also tbf... we don't actually know if he was diagnosed in prison because he never talks on it 👀 The only psychiatric report we've heard about him was during Pascoe years when it said he had trouble differentiating between reality and fantasy and cycled between attempts to please and antagonize his dad. And then when he said (v dramatically lol) that in prison they had to work out if he was born evil or if it was his neglectful dad's fault. It's the sort of detail you get in soaps where it could either be left as is or picked up again if future showrunners want to use it. Doubtful it'll be picked up again tho because they barely mention the obvious stuff like Stella any more 😬

exactly. i think they did a good job when ben came back and in most of 2019/early 2020 with showing how fucked up he is because of all the things in his past (his resentment for phil, paul's anniversary etc) but they've kind of written ben into a corner and he lost a lot of nuance. and that in turn has made him so unlikeable for the ga who doesn't have his past in mind like you said.

god i'd love for them to dive deeper into ben's trauma from prison but i get why they might want to leave things a bit vague. i like that they added the bit of backstory that his hearing aid used to get stolen during the hearing loss sl and i wouldn't be opposed to little tidbits like that being thrown in from time to time. my personal hc is that ben still doesn't really talk about prison, not even with callum, because it was just too traumatic for him.
