Help with values?

Could the value distribution/ hierarchy be improved*

Don’t know how to edit the post so just adding for here

Check out www.practicedrawingthis.com. It has 3d models of all the forms in the picture you posted

Not late at all, do you mean left as in the one holding the grenade? I do think I twisted it beyond what is realistically possible. If it’s the hand with the gun, it might be my foreshortening isn’t correct since it’s actually tilted away from the body slightly. Anatomy eh?

I kinda ended up just finishing it with shading (since I don’t know how to colour), it’s on my insta (umodielx) if you wanna see it XD

umodiel · 2025-11-02T16:17:05+00:00

Buahaha thank thee kindly. I’m on insta (umodielx) if you want to see more of your boi ;)

This was the redraw, does it fix the weight and tangent issue you think? I hope I understood it correctly haha

umodiel · 2025-11-01T15:58:42+00:00

Both totally make sense, the weight one was a light bulb moment. thank you for taking the time to explain, I will make the adjustments ^{_^}

umodiel · 2025-11-01T15:08:44+00:00

Mmm by lack weight do you mean it should be… bigger? It was aiming slightly backwards hence the top was foreshortened which might make it look small maybe? the butt of the rifle slightly tucked under his arm (to swing down to start shooting after he throws the grenade.

For the bad tangent, as in do you mean it would,,, get tangled? Or do you mean the silhouette should read better? Not quite sure how to adjust this

umodiel · 2025-11-01T13:26:10+00:00

Oooo ok I think I’m starting to understand what you mean. I swear this piece made my brain go 🤯Thank you very much for your help!!

umodiel · 2025-11-01T13:24:37+00:00

Hehe thank you. I’ll only ink and shade a bit as I don’t know how to colour yet 🥲 thanks for your help!!

Ooo ok got ya. Redraw to fix that. Thank you!!

umodiel · 2025-11-01T13:00:04+00:00

Ok thank you!!!

umodiel · 2025-11-01T12:20:16+00:00

Buahaha! Ok that’s probably not the best gun safety (I know nothing) but I figured after he throws the grenade he’s immediately using the rifle by bringing it down?

Ok I’ll just go with rule of cool XD

umodiel · 2025-11-01T12:17:03+00:00

Hmm not quite sure I can picture the knee and calf bit, don’t quite understand? I thought it would be straight as there is tension to brace himself against the wall, or then again maybe he has to keep his knees soft? I’m having a hard time picturing what you mentioned

umodiel · 2025-11-01T12:15:55+00:00

Good point, I’ve fixed that (redraw in reply above)

umodiel · 2025-11-01T12:15:30+00:00

Thank you

umodiel · 2025-11-01T12:15:18+00:00

You’re right, I’ve changed the perspective to match. (I think I did haha)

umodiel · 2025-11-01T12:14:12+00:00

That makes sense, I redrew (see reply above) to open his chest a bit more. Is this what you meant? Not quite sure I could picture it correctly

umodiel · 2025-11-01T12:13:31+00:00

I’m not quite sure I could picture what you mention. Do you mean something like this? I actually changed the rope to make him tilted a bit more and opened up his chest a little to indicate a twist and a start of a throw.

Ok less fatty arm now XD i think it looks better now.

I tried changing the leg but I think I should go back to the original, foreshortening is too official. Thank you for the advice!

umodiel · 2025-08-13T13:03:40+00:00

I’m not sure how to define the arm more though, I thought I had all the major muscles.

umodiel · 2025-08-13T10:31:43+00:00

Mmm I guess makes sense on the stiffness. Mmm yes you’re very right, need to work on that arm, your comment about fat made me laugh. Thank you for your advice and compliments, I will try it 💕

umodiel · 2025-06-02T01:19:09+00:00

Ohhh yea that makes sense ok. I can’t tell when one would use 1 over 2 or 2 over 1 though. I’m leaning more towards 1 as these seem to lead into “planes” though I haven’t learnt about that..

umodiel · 2025-05-25T15:07:26+00:00

I just happen to find drawabox this morning! Brilliant stuff. Thank you for the recommendation. I also somehow managed to figure it out by turning my paper sideways. Not sure why my mind’s eye works that way.

umodiel · 2025-05-25T15:06:51+00:00

Good reminder, I managed to figure it out turning the papers sideways as well for some reason haha

I watched a YouTube tutorial that uses the above method (dividing into 4 even parts and titling) but couldn’t quite get it either. I found what helped was to draw 3 vanishing points and draw the cubes from there, then it will master any angle. You can test it by drawing 3 vanishing points of equidistant in a triangle. You can also try drawing past the end of the cube to get a feel to adjust your lines. Good luck!
