Sorry to be a bother again but I was wondering if you have any tips for drawing clothes and folds and such. I have a super hard time with that. I also wanted to ask how one should go about drawing if one is in a situation where they don't have any pose refs. Like, how should someone draw a pose from their brain? Sorry for polluting your blog with boring asks, you don't have to answer or put it up. I feel like it would ruin your blog. I'm sorry. I want to draw like you too <3
asfjjhk omg its okay shh dont worry about it !!!!! I don’t really care for blog aesthetics whatsoever so it’s ok!!!
erm, Im unsure how to answer this, but lemme draw a thing and post the process under readmore? I hope it helps (:3;;
a 3 sec sketch; basically outlines what the pic will look like; sort of lik a gesture drawing!
I usually skip right to drawing the skeletal base drawing, but it helps to understand how to simplify the body parts. This is how I break the body down to make it easier for me to digest and draw.
when you can simplify the body down like this, you can easily deconstruct photos/references! when you have a repertoire of poses in your mind after studying a lot of poses, that kind of stuff become easier to draw from your mind cus you’ve drawn it before.
disclaimer: “anatomically” correct is really subjective; some artists will bend anatomy, as such, not every human has the same anatomical body proportions, so that’s really up to you to decide. (Ive never done art school so Im not the person to ask about this.)
I start loose and then slowly tighten the details all around. Work on drawing holistically (keeping in mind your entire picture) rather than zooming in and working on one part to another.
ok, back to my sketch;
since ive already defined the person’s body structure, I skip right to drawing the clothes on top of them; some ppl will actually draw the body structure neatly before they put clothes on them; it really is up to you!
keep note that this hasn’t been anatomy checked or whatever, just still roughing it out and cleaning it up as I go.
for clothes fold, i saw this rly cool tip where you imagine shower curtain rings
and sorta draw around the movement of it (ofc this is like.. the wrinkles around the arm/sleeve etc.) AGAIN please use reference of real cothes to get a better feel of how to draw it (:3
andddddd ofc, cus im a wishy washy person, the anatomy changes overtime the more details I add in, so it’s……. iunno. yeah. it’s a nightmare to horizontal flip it, but it does help you catch a lot of things that are wrong (like I know the head tilt is gonna be a problem here lol.)
and well. it’ll be touched up a lot more, sketched better/cleaned up; so yeah. i’m at the brink of passing out rn, but this is just the base drawing process !! I guess (?)
sorry i wasn’t able to give a better explanation <_>;;;;;;;;;;;;!!!!!
How do you draw anatomy so well? Your art is so pretty! WAIT! IS THAT! RBC AND WBC? UP THERE^^^ On the questions box!!
Hi there! Ive been drawing for like… 14 years and anatomy is still hard to figure out. There isn’t an easy answer aside from practicing; but my suggestion is to draw using references. (Be it real life photos, or fanart from artists you like!)
Find tutorials of the styles you wanna draw in. (Eastern vs western cartoony style.)
Use reference photos when you need ‘im; (ngl, I constantly use refs for hands.)
If you’re serious about it, buy a figurine just for drawing poses lol. (Body-kun and body-chan, i have body-kun, and he’s so useful. I use him for the poses I can’t easily look up.)
Hope these help!! anatomy is hard to tackle (:3;;;;
