Weight, Pressure Flow...pawsies
Added 2021-06-01 07:02:49 +0000 UTCMay's tutorial for my Hey, Sensei folks! I wanted to go a little more into detail about how I go about getting the figures I draw to appear as though they exist, believably, in the same place, or on top of each other.
A lot of this is guesstimation from all the observations I've made in real life. I'm always a firm believer in taking the time to draw people or objects from your day to day life. Adding how certain objects/people move, and behave to your memory bank, can help you make some helpful decisions if your goal is to draw with some amount of believability. I ask myself, if I press one leg into another, at a certain angle, what sort of result do I think that would make?
For body parts to fall into, or flow with another is also somewhat a part of my 'mission' as an artist in a professional sense. I like to portray comfort, and familiarity. So for two separate characters to meld together into one piece, and to express weight shared between them, is very important to me.
Serious thoughts aside...you can also draw...very soft tiddies and heavy balls with this method. LMAO. So I hope y'all find this helpful to chew over. If anyone has questions, let me know! And...As always, thank you so much!
(As for final announcements, I'm going to try and upload previous picarto livestreams to a private youtube playlist so that they're in much easier access. (It's proving hard for my 8 year old toaster of a computer to handle). I'll be able to make more comprehensive videos on process in the future when I get my new Mac in the mail! Exciting! I'll be able to provide more art without the...immense....lag.)
