Hey Wily, can you give some pointers on anatomy? I love how simple you make it look, so I was thinking you could give some great advice
Yeah! When doing a general sketch of a character, no matter how loose, it is pretty beneficial to use a couple of “landmarks”. For me I sometimes like drawing out the general shapes of the head, the collar bones, the shoulders, the curve of the spine, and the hips and the joints regardless of how detailed the sketch is.
Elbows will be sorta on the same line as the belly button.
Wrists will always sorta be online with the crotch area.
And these things are pretty consistent no matter how tall or short a character is.
That being said when you have a better foundation with anatomy, you learn how to push, and distort it without it looking super wonky =)
But anatomy is tricky. Just practice it a lot. I frequently have to make a dumb pose in a mirror, or need to track down a reference to remind myself how things work
