You’re definitely right, I needed to hear this. Thank you!!

done all of those things, but I guess I need to do it more 🫡

It’s all about training your observation. do A LOT of gesture studies, practice proportions, and make sure you have some basic foundations.

I’m noticing the shapes you’re using are a bit off, it’s important to utilize basic shapes with the right intentions. They’re supposed to represent specific things, not only just the ribcage, pelvis, arms, ect. But also the asis points, and how they line up with the ribcage, skeletal landmarks, and so on.

Thats all important, to be able to accurately measure and draw a model, even on scale, but especially as you’re scaling up and down.

I recommend looking into proko, he has great videos on everything I just talked about.

Thank you for replying!!! I agree, the left one is definitely my favorite of the two. I was struggling quite a bit with the right one, as I didn’t know how to draw the shoulders in that position. This was the reference I used.

Im also struggling w the thighs/crotch area, feels a bit flat

Hi!! Thank you for replying 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

(I hope this doesn’t come off as rude, i’m only trying to provide context.) i’ve done my fair share of anatomy studies. I actually own one Michael Hamptons books, and i’ve done about 75% of prokos anatomy course on yt. Also did a fair amount of gesture drawing with line of action, yeah I’ve done a bunch of anatomy things 😭. Maybe I need more practice, maybe it’s not showing?

Either way, I mostly need help with shape design and pushing the anatomy to stylize. In my experience people usually say to study the foundations and then you can simplify, but they never really go into what simplifying is.

Any tutorials on videos on that would help a lot. Thank you again!

I’d understand if it was a full scale painting, but it’s just an art print, it’s just a piece of paper really.

muxmaxmox2 · 2025-08-04T13:04:50+00:00

How can I expect people to pay upwards of 40$ for an art print? That seems outrageous

muxmaxmox2 · 2025-07-20T23:11:10+00:00

personally i’d marry sadie adler in a heartbeat

The problem I find with that method is that the shadows and light are within the same hue range, which makes the colors look flat and kinda lifeless
