*dies Slowly Since There's No Way To Send An Anon Message* Would It Be A Bother If I Asked How You Make

Dearest Kisu, the characters you draw are always full of like and dynamic! Do you have any tips to draw more dynamic characters/poses ? I love your art so much, you're such an inspiration to me

1. The action line:

It’s a line that you use when you create the posing that will help you translate a strenght/ an intention and  give “a direction” to the body.

2. Perspective

It can help making a posing more dynamic if you vary angles, perspective and directions

3. Don’t be shy, exaggerate!

That’s how you really can translate mouvements through drawings!

4. Try to avoid “mirrorl” stuff.

It works very well when you want to do artistic stuff (like tarot card aesthetics) but not so much when you want it to look lively.

(Making hair and clothes flow help a lot too hahaha)

5. Try to do “one stroke” line so it doesn’t “break” the mouvement 

I’m not crazy, y’all. Dragonball Supers animation is bad on a basic level.

Not sure if the Animation Director or the story-artist is more at fault but regardless, the product is bad and someone should have known better.

how did you figure out how to do hands

well when I do hands I tend to break them into 3 big shapes 

starting with the wrist then palm, thumb then the fingers 

once I have the big shapes in I separate the fingers

here are some more examples of the different parts

one of the best ways that I learned how to draw hands was to draw a LOT of them, in different poses, while looking at a reference. This is a site that I found useful, 

it has 3D models of hands that you can change the view so you can see the same pose from different angles. p.s. this site i linked to does contain nude figures just a heads up

I’ll also do some notes on perspective and dynamic posing later. (We’ll see how dynamic posing goes considering I’m not too great at it myself so… yeahhhh.)

Kaktus København

Someone told me there was a cactus shop on Jægersborggade so popular that it bordered on suspicious. Naturally I felt this was something I had to see for myself and got on my bicycle. Ten minutes later I arrive at an empty street with no people anywhere, except for this tiny cactus shop. Inside there’s about four thousand people who clearly think they’re at the stock market for green and spikey things. I’m not really sure what’s happening but I suspect they’re money laundering for the mafia because nobody should sell that many Prickly Pears on a Sunday

Inktober day 16: well, this turned out better than expected ^-^ . #inktober #inkstagram #inktober2016 #inking #drawinggirl #drawing #art #traditionalart #illustration #girl #girlsinanimation #ink #balloons #artistsofinstagram #tumblr

Trying to figure out light and shadow... and everything in general in this drawing. Turned out to be better than I expected it to. If I had worked a little bit more on this, it could be Rey from Star Wars
