Description I decided to make this to see if it could possibly help anyone.

As the bottom says, this is my way to do it, whether it's right or wrong, so I can't do anything else about that.

Just sayin'.

hope it helps someone out there!

I've gone on to not use this particular "style" but this guide is still very handy. There will never be a right or wrong way to do art.
Thank you for the comment. :3

Aw!!! I'm so glad that it helped you! This is rather old and I would like to update it eventually, but I've heard from quite a few people that it's helped a lot, so I'm extremely happy about that!

Just practice like crazy and you'll totally get it!

Lol. The more you do it though, the more you'll want to do it. When you see progress and change, it makes you want to move forward.

This is actually really good And helpful :3
I don't think there's really a "right" or "wrong" way to draw your bodies, as long as your proportions are correct. But even that largely depends on what you're drawing... o.o

WhitneyCook In reply to artgeek99 [2011-07-20 01:43:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much.

And I completely agree with you. Some people insist it's incorrect, but really, this is not rocket science. This is the GENERAL idea of a body and that's what matters, the limbs and body are where they normally would be on a human, and that makes it right to me. Lol.

I'm not here to earn someone a degree in art, it's just friendly help.
So I'm glad you said that, for others to see as well.

Looks like a human, yes?
SAFE!

Yes, exactly! And its all proportional and "correct." The shapes that you use to build the skeleton for your artwork don't really matter XD lol

Nah, looks like a dinosaur to me! ;D
