How the fuck can you draw this ?

[Anonymous No.3674171]

For the love of God, tell me how i can draw this position...

[Anonymous No.3674185]

>>3674171
I'd start from the center line (it's receding back in space, so you can simplify it into one line going back for the upper torso and another coming forward for the lower part), then define both shoulder and waist with simple lines. Add some mass in whichever mannequin format you like, and only then tackle the foreshortened limbs by doing them with single lines first to get an estimate of direction and size, then turning them into cylinders/boxes/etc.

Don't overthink this, it's not that tricky of a pose if you start with a stick figure or just about anything to give you a general idea to get started. Your biggest enemy is the idea that you have to get it right in one attempt.

Is this a good start ?

[Anonymous No.3674204]

>>3674201
it's a start, here are a few pointers:

>compare angle of shoulders and arms
>identify the pelvis/lower body, not the outfit for the leg placement

From that point on, analyzing and redoing it will let you do a better job with each iteration.

[Anonymous No.3674205]

>>3674201
no the leg is short as shit
draw them as cylinder in 3D space for easier foreshorten
you lost the gesture of the body too
checking the shoulder and pelvis line

Your drawing is flat - there is no depth whatsoever. Try thinking in terms of form and perspective, and how each part relates to each other in terms of 3D space. Break down the body with simple forms (eg blocks for head, torso, cylinders for limbs etc).

You should focus on seeing the pose in large geometric shapes, and then decompose in small shapes, and dont forget to use values, it will help you a lot to see the distance of one thing over the other

I knew it. It's just instead of using step 2 in the step 1 (minus the muscles because obviously you've done it long enough) you're keeping it loose. I'm onto you now, boi.

I mean, it's the same process but he's leaving out extra lines which makes it uniquely "his" while keeping loose. Now figure it out yourself.
