@GabrielMoon Hey mate, good job with those, but you are drawing the space between the ribs and the pelvis too long in some of these, in the three bigger ones for example, or were you trying to exaggerate? If so, just keep experimenting, that's always good. The one on the bottom left that seems to be the most finished one looks very good, but i'd say she might be just a tiny bit too tilted to the right, if she was more to the left she'd feel more balanced i think, and her head is a bit big (for realistic standards). Niec butt btw heuhe.
@JojoDodo Actually, line weight can be used by painters too, a good video that explains it is "drawing like a painter" by sinix, even if you are not a painter, this is an awesome video that can shift your approach to lines completely, either way i think line weight is important for any artist, well, except animators. Btw, those poses from your imagination look as good as always, you could be an animator, that's a field where that kind of expressiveness is very helpful.
@Zhon That sounds like a good exercise, tomorrow i was going to do anatomy practice so i might do that too.
@ Havegum Thanks! Yeah i just kept trying to make those edges darker, but everytime i did it i just thought it looked wrong somehow, like it was just leftover lineart, i will have to make sure i get those good next time. Also if you haven't, you should watch the video i linked to Jojo earlier, it might help you or give you a new idea for how to approach lineart. Just a couple of simple tips, maybe you could use a brighter color for doing the gestures, dark blue or something like that, so they look more clean, also you could ground your gestures with some lines at the bottom, to avoid the "floaty" feeling. Also, make the limbs in the back darker or lighter to improve readability, shadow or fog, i prefer shadow xD
@LurkinMcClerkin Thanks! Btw you shouldn't close yourself to realism, like i told @123mine123 before, it doesn't matter if you like doing cartoony, or anime style, everything derives from reality, so you should at least try to make some realistic studies, but honestly i'd say you are already doing them, and they lookin good yo, apart from some small mistakes in the overall proportions, i'd recommend mirroring your drawings horizontally very often to spot proportion mistakes.
Okay so yesterday i did gestures of static poses and finished with a painted study, today i did gestures of action poses and finished with more action poses, but from youtube videos. I did some from a Bruce Lee video, NBA matches and UFC fights, and it was incredibly fun compared to doing them from quickposes, doing gestures of poses that were not meant to be a still image is a whole different experience, definetly helpful. I learnt that the brain actually reads poses much better than i thought, when i was drawing some of these i thought "this is gonna be so confusing" but when i zoomed out they actually made sense, i don't know, what u guise think? Here's a bigger resolution image.
srry for huge wall of text btw
