Description
I ran out of E00 when I was working on her skin. T_TOther than that, I'm super pleased with how it turned out. I'm finally getting the hang of my copics, I think.
This is for the holiday cards I will eventually be making. Reference: by
To the improvement club: Can I have some help with anatomy please? Some red lines would be really appreciated! I can see that it's off but I'm having trouble telling where

Hello!! this is a beautiful drawing!! my tips are - really look for the posture and pose of each part of the body, the arm angle, leg angle body curve, brest and collarbone. With the hand look for the thumb it will act like an anchor and pull the hand together easier. here is my redline [link]

Thanks-you so much! This is actually SO helpful, and your redlines are gorgeous. I've never thought of using the thumb like that before.

ah thank you! im glad i could help you!! I learned it a little while ago, the thumb is an anchor if the hand looks funny its mostly because of the thumb placement being off.

Did you try and just copy the pose directly from the picture or did you use a skeleton and out the pose?

I broke it down into lines--- not as specific as a full skeleton with bones, but I mapped it out like an advanced stick-person and then fleshed it out and added curves and shapes and stuff.

Well, you were on the right track.
For now I guess one piece of advice would be when using a reference, really exaggerate the posture with the skeleton first to get an understanding of the pose. For instance, in the reference I can tell that she is leaning forward with a slight curve to her back, however in this her back is a little stiff. you really have to try and capture the action of the pose. I did a tutorial that kind of shows what I mean if you'd like to check it out: [link] And here's this as another example: [link]
I hope this helps!

Thanks so much. My backs always look stiff so it's nice to know that exaggerating them will help with that.

Of course! Just remember to do it all the time too apart from creating finished works. A quick sketch here and there is always helpful.
In fact, a great thing to do is to walk outside to a busy area and sketch the poses people make as fast as you can(5-10 seconds)using only those stick figures. By exasperating the figure you have a better chance at remembering the movement of the pose later on.
If you're really daring even try to work from your memory and draw full bodies based only on those figures.

Gesture drawing is tons of fun. I actually do it all the time.
