I HAVE A QUESTION!

• WoefulInfinity

  RED LINES FOR WEIYUA.
  
  A short lesson on skull shape and how perspective affects anatomy.

  
  This makes total sense to me. Is this something you utilize as a visualization aid, though, or is this a first step that you employ every time you start a piece?
  
  A lot of people suggest drawing boxes and inscribing the shapes of the body inside, but for the life of me I just can't make it work when I sit down to draw a picture -- I end up with something so weird looking that I have to erase it all and start over without them.

I did it from the start at first, while studying. But by now, it's a visualization aid. You'll be able to eventually see the box without actually drawing it.

The thing is if you focus too much on the boxes, your figure will stiffen and be out of overall proportin because you are zeroing in on one part at a time. In this case, draw the overall gesture first. Then draw boxes and overall shapes - 2D only! - for spatial silhouette relation. Then worry about 3d and incribing.

Sorry, I'll re-post here.

But if rhiou starts a DA group, I can post there, too.

I saw this repeated error in your work, so this is my redline explaining the origin of the behavior. I feel you know anatomy and have (gorgeously) stylized it, but you’ve been kind of making the back of the head up as you go along. This is a common problem with anime artists who perceive faces and bodies in a two-dimensional, symbolic visual language. The error is actually about perspective or spatial understanding. I hope the red-line explains this in such a way that it is helpful to all your art moving forward, not just one particular piece.

The thing is if you focus too much on the boxes, your figure will stiffen and be out of overall proportion because you are zeroing in on one part at a time. In this case, follow the steps:

heart Draw the overall gesture first.
heart Then draw overall shapes - 2D only! - for spatial silhouette relation.
heart Then translate to 3D boxes.
heart Finally, inscribe the soft forms.

UPDATES

PHEW OK, ALL UPDATING TO ARCHIVE IS DONE UP TO THIS POINT

Will be doing some updates to front page in a bit too. *u*d
More specifically, I will be

• merging student masterlist + archive together since everything can now be found via the search function at our archive; will also be providing the reasons why the changes were made
  
• changing the layout of the mentor masterlist to make it smoother and cleaner while also performing some updates there (ie; adding in all P:R mentors up to this point, including mysterious #12 lol + changing mentor statuses where appropriate, etc)
  
• finally adding in some content to our Student FAQ's lol

I will also be handing out all mentor ID cards to those mentors who have yet to receive theirs by tonight.

ALSO
savage + pisto
