It’s definitely been a bit since I last posted, mainly because work is becoming more and more execrable by the day – but also because I was having a colossal fit trying to figure out how to draw TORSOS by themselves. It rapidly became the bane of my existence – until I have a minor…

Different Strokes for Different Folks
Today was definitely a bit of a bleak one, all things considered…! Through some horrible twist of fate, my chronic knee pain has prevented me from standing, sitting, walking, climbing, or really existing in any comfortable position that isn’t totally limp. The remaining postures that don’t stimulate said pain aren’t really comfortable to draw in,…
Once More, With FEELING!
By no means have I mastered proportion, but the construction I’ve worked to implement over the past few days has allowed me to see the body for what it can be – a simplified series of organic solids that can be translated into a 2D space through knowledge of 3D contours. But it was in…

The armature, for the uninitiated (myself included, until about three…

Necks in Line
So, from now until I start posting finish sketches, it’s fair to assume that most of my techniques are a combination of Proko’s YouTube series on figure drawing and Akihito’s deconstruction of figure and musculature. To say that both sources have helped tremendously when it comes to figuring out what goes where on the body…
