/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I suppose it's about learning how cylinders work in perspective, and then conveying different body parts into cylinders.

I'm a mature half shitty artist now, and I now see that some Loomis-based construction is essential for becoming a great artist who is not bound by finding the right references.

"just imagine boxes everywhere lmao" - Kim Jung Gi

Imagining the person as a colossal giant helps me.

Is that your work? It looks good. How strong the distortion is depends on how close you are standing to the subject, so if you are standing further just tone it down.

>>2169224
You have to have a really good understanding of the (actual) form you are foreshortening. also boxes

Fuck me, I had the whole thing but I think I accidentally deleted it. It's very good shit even though you can't read a goddamn thing the illustrations are all you need.

Here's hoping that the drawing is yours, or else this might not be very pertinent.

Try standing in front of a mirror and hold your arm out sideways, palm downwards, and examine the contour - long, unbroken lines with only slight deviations within to describe minor forms. Then bring your arm in directly towards the mirror and watch what happens to those lines. They grow shorter, a bit more dramatic, and they become extremely descriptive as to the volumes they represent. The silhouette of your arm just became way smaller, so every little line and angle change becomes that much more important to describing the form correctly.

Do you see how the lines in the drawing are all similar? It works for the torso, because you're describing forms from a flatter viewpoint. When used on foreshortened limbs it looks extremely exaggerated because the way you're representing information isn't changing, it lacks the finesse, fine-tuning and accuracy that is required to state things clearly.

Hope that makes sense. It's how I think about it, at least.
