did you draw that

>>7110900
No, a famous Japanese animator named Yoh Yoshinari did. Here's another example, near the bottom.

It's a form of construction

>>7110791
These are called "art eggs" if you draw them inside your figures they may hatch good drawings.

that's construction, you can use spheres, boxes, cylinders, or whatever helps you wrap your head around form, proportions, and sometimes perspective (boxes are better for perspective)
some use circles for the torso so the figure doesn't look so stiff, but you do one
when you draw a lot you start coming up with your own ways to draw faster and better
but you gotta know the fundies Yoh Yoshinari comes from an animation background but he obviously knows anatomy and all the basics, he's a pro

lol

>that's construction
fuckinh loomis butt licker

>>7110791
they're simple 3d shorthands for anatomy: ribcage, pelvis, joints

>>7110791
I currently use boxes for construction. Are spherical shapes better or is it simply a preference thing? I feel like using ovals and circles has less risk of leading to stiff art. What do you guys use?

>>7111005
different tools for different purposes

>>7110997
What else could it be? Genuinely curious.

>>7110791
can't tell if this is a troll or not but considering this is /ic/ I'll just assume you're actually a retarded faggot

it's just construction lite

>>7111028
You sound upset.

>>7110791
Yes its for proportions, you figure out the volume of something and get the size sorted that way. Think of the circle like the object or body part's mass for that area.

>>7111005
I suppose Japanese go more with memorized figures and symbols, so they just need circles for position and proportions.

>>7111218
spheres have been used in cartoon construction since the 1940s

old disney is great faggot, what's your point?

>>7111598
you do know akira toriyma started drawing because he watched 101 dalmatians right

thanks anon(s). any other old cartoon drawing instruction books you know of and would recommend?

>>7111598
preston blair also worked at MGM on tom and jerry cartoons. disney innovated most if not at all of the techniques used in western animation at the time

1930-1960 was an ugly era for animation. Nothing good was produced by Disney until 1968, and nothing very good after 1987

>>7110935
Nice.

>>7111005
Boxes are better for pure construction, circles are good if you’re just trying to feel out the pose.

>>7112153
holy cringe

>>7112153
what about the 1951 Alice in Wonderland movie

>>7110933
construction mentioned let's gooo...

>>7111364
>medium favoring simple figures that can be drawn over and over quickly
Yep

>>7110791
it's easier to tell if your size/proportions/distances are correct with just simple shapes like balls, than it is with fully detailed characters, that's why you generally start with that, and tweak it until it's right, since drawing a couple balls and sticks takes 30 seconds, whereas fixing a detailed drawing is a pain in the ass.
