Random Sketchy 13 Because I’m Trying To Make Peace With COLORING

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

or for full on fight sequences

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

or this

or this

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.

Every Artist Ever:

ive been doing a lot of youtube recipe binging lately so i was recommended this video and i was like fuck it diet soup why not

and it sounded pretty tasty so after the vid i scrolled down to see what people thought of it, and i just really need to share with you all what the comment section is like

and for the one that broke me:

I love how dynamic and fluid your drawings always look!! Do you have any tips on how to make them look more flowy and natural as rlly struggle with trying to make them loose less stiff? 💙

Thank you!!! :D

So how I learned how to draw fluid poses was doing gesture drawings! And figuring out how to make the pose fluid

Gesture drawing is all about getting and focusing on the movement of the pose rather than the anatomy

And a good way to start recognizing the movement of the pose is the ‘Line of Action’

And it’s best for the line of action to also determine the weight of the character

So for example:

And now we got the line of action next up is well drawing the pose

I always start off with drawing the torso so you’ll get an idea of exactly where you want the head to go but weather you start with the head or torso is up to you!

With getting fluid poses it’s important to draw loosely! So no slowly going to make sure each line is correct. That’s how stiffness can happen! I draw the body using straights and curves to draw out these shapes for the body! Because to every straight on one side of the pose there’s a curve on the other!

So for example for this pose there’s a straight along the back. I still like to even curve the straights because there’s no actual perfectly straights anywhere

And then the curve! Like I said before to each straight there’s a curve on the other side

And then the limbs!

Again curves

they’re everywhere

So now that we have an idea on how the pose movement is doing time to actually draw it

Starting with line of action!

Then the torso bean

Then legs

Arms and head

And finally details and using your knowledge of anatomy and where the straights and curves go to finish it up!

To get better at gesture drawing and drawing fluid poses is also all about practice because I assure you when I started trying this out a couple years ago I wasn’t good at it! So it’s also about building that muscle memory which is where the practice and trying this out with different poses will help!!

And a good website I like to go to for practicing with poses is a website called

https://line-of-action.com

Here you can look at poses for body’s, hands and feet, animals, and profiles and expresssions! And for the body poses you can ask them for nude or clothed models and the models have a large range of diversity instead of attractive white person #47

its been a while……….

i dont remember how to draw but have 13 in her insanely attractive spyfall outfit 

THANK YOU!!

Hey, I might be going crazy but I remember you posting something about your Pinterest outfit folder? Is there any way I can find it easily?

I can assure you, you're not going crazy. Here's a link to the board!
