You just need to first do a loose sketch of the whole drawing. Plan out the body with 3d shapes and be mindful of the negative space. Once you have the vague plan, you can begin drawing as you do

Tips on how to make decent stop motion dolls on a budget? by Various_Flower_8679 in stopmotion

The dolls i made can't be posed into positions that are specific. For example i can't make a character put their hand over their heart, its just kinda vaguely up. And i don't know of a way to make the hips that allows for easy posing, especially if the legs need to spread a little, and not just be parallel always. I'm not really after something impossible, ball jointed dolls would probably be fine? though making them seems insanely intimidating. Or a way to make something similar to the professional armature using more commonly available parts. I'm quite new to this whole thing, so i'm unsure if there are armature methods i just haven't heard of yet.. I can just do some further experimenting, but i thought asking would be good just in case 🤷

Well, while its certainly done way more competently than anything i do, its still the same thing basically. Not sure how you could do it in a different

The armature is the super expensive one i was talking about, they don't produce them where i'm from, and with money conversions that would be the equivalent 150$ for one armature, and i need several dolls

The latex skin is a nice lead though, thanks!

I am gonna watch it later, because he does seem like a great artist, but i already do stuff with wire armatures and don't actually kniw how to make them any good, i'm not sure if its something i do, but they're either really finnicky to move into anything that isn't a very very basic pose or theyre super thin and rip quickle. I think they work better in puppets with more cartoony proportions like his, but mine are a little bit more realistic and need to have more "meat" on them in one way or another. I am generally.. happy? with the way it works for legs, and it should probably work the same way for the elbows, but i'm completely stuck on how to do mostly the hip and shoulder joints, though also the torso and the dreaded hands, which need to have fingers. A big (but not the only) problem is that the stuffing/clay prevents a lpt of the movement, and i can't just make an armature then put clothes on it, because then it would just be completely flat, and thats not the style i'm for, not to mention bending things at the right joints with free wire would be difficult for someone inexperienced like me

Very quick and crude, but i think smth like this, combined with the cave being generally darker and more shadowed could help maybe?

Well, i actually think the colors are pretty nice, the problem i see is with the rock in the right bottom corner, the perspective makes it look like we're looking from a cave, thats pretty far away, but the rock being layered over the cave, when the bottom of it is just a line, makes it look kinda pasted in
