Description
I've gotten a bunch of requests for a tutorial on superheroes. Here's a cool tutorial I did to show you how to create gestures for comic characters. Notice that two things stand out:
*Everything is drawn loosely and with a bold energy, which translates into the drawing
*The guidelines are used - the looser you draw, the more you need them as an anchor to keep things in place.

Thank you. By the way, I always respond to you as if your pen name were "Demonic Doodles," but it is actually written as "Demotic." What does "demotic" mean?

The name was me getting too cute for my own good, everyone always thinks its demon related. Demotic was a language of the regular people / DEFINITION: Β
Of or relating to the common people; popular:Β Β demotic speech; demotic entertainments.Β
adj.

adj.

A doodle is a form of art buy a regular person, so I added the two together Β thinking it was clever, a common person doing common art. Then no one got it and I have lived with the "demon" thing ever since lol. Thats what happens when you over think things
