Description
Eh, I'm no expert, but here you go BruiseyandKeith1lulz There're more ways to "measure" but I'm just trying to simplify it the best way I can. (I can make 2 more tutorials on other measuring tricks…grids etc.) I normally don't draw using grids or guidelines…some people draw sketches of circles and lines first then outline….I just draw straight out (with loose sketches) Everyone works differently. Experiment to see what you like best.
Best thing to do is creep on people and make gazillion of sketches to improve.
Just notice the relative position of the ears to where the eyes are. How many arms does it take to go down a body? Where does the elbow bend in relation to someone's waist? Notice where someone's fingertips end on their thighs. Etc. These things help composing a proportionate body.
Guys, I apologize on answering to your comments like a snail. I just got back home…and gotta apply to work places and such. 0_0 They get taken so damn fast. lol i still have yet to compose a proper resume. Sigh. Dafuq AiDYN!
