Hey /ic/ I just made this. Never really was into drawing, but I'm still somewhat proud of my piece.

What do you think? /fit/ told me the muscles and proportions are wrong and I agree.

As you should be.
It's still shit though.

Then fucking fix it

And don't start a whole new thread just to post one crappy piece

Yup, many of the muscles (especially in the legs) are off by quite a bit, though the proportions aren't as bad as you may think. It's a beginner drawing, but shows promise if you don't draw much, so just do more and they will get better and better.

If you are interested in this stuff, I recommend buying an anatomy book such as Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist by Stephen Rogers Peck. You can read through it and copy out the diagrams and it will help you immensely!

Those are the people OP should check out if he wants to git gud.

I'd leave out Loomis tbh. A lot of people here recommend him, but other than his head constructions I don't think he is all that great. At least he never clicked with me.

Vilppu's Drawing Manual is ideal, and Michael Hampton's book is really solid, essentially like a combo between Bridgman, Hogarth and a few others.

>> No.1598671

people just spout loomis as a joke now. most people who say loomis probably don't even draw at all, or are even interested in becoming better

>> No.1598692

Your proportions might be off. But that doesn't matter so much. The real issue is your character is stiffer than a stick and doesn't have any balance. He would fall down like a tree in real life.

Just practice, practice, practice and you will learn this eventually. Draw what you see, and stay away from symbol drawing. Do a lot of figure drawing, take croquis classes.

Yup, I don't know many pros who used Loomis to get good. There are many books out now that are equal or superior to Loomis. Most of the people here spouting Loomis are super beginners and only have a couple months of drawing under their belts.

Loomis definitely has his weaknesses--his anatomy lessons are a joke, and his manikin yields very stiff results. Not to mention much of his advice on the industry is no longer relevant.

Loomis is a huge influence in the comic book industry.

>> No.1598712

>>1598709
Okay, could be. I know more fine arts stuff and illustration/concept art. And he isn't so prevalent there.

I would have assumed for comic artists someone like Hogarth would have been a bigger influence though.

So can you list some better books then?

Vilppu and Hampton

Life drawing too nerd

I already did. Vilppu, Hampton, Peck, Bridgman, arguably Hogarth.

He's a pretty big one, and obviously nobody follows only one man's teachings, but people usually cite Loomis more, with Bridgman being the go-to for comic book anatomy.

Hogarth's influence is very apparent in guys like David Finch.
