Do you have any tips on how you make your drawings look so fluid and so... shaped? If you get what I mean

I'm terrible with giving this sort of advice cause I'm not 100% sure myself. I'll try, but my general advice is know how your character would move and have references to compare and contrast. Especially for movement, analyzing individual frames of an animation or video can help a lot.

A lot of this is more just me working through my thought process as example than straight tips cause I have difficulty with just giving straight tips, sorry.

I suppose messing with your sketch a lot until things look Right and references, and just, generally thinking it through? What are the shapes you want to convey? How satisfying are each of these lines? Not on a composition level (I'm terrible with composition) but does it scratch that itch in your brain sort of thing.

Figuring out what shapes best convey what you want the character to convey is important. I wanted Tango to be sharp, a bit odd in proportions, so triangles worked. Satisfying curves and curls are also important to his character. The whole reason I wanted to draw him to begin with was for animation, and specifically a cartoonish style of animation, so I took a lot from simplified and abstract styles with clean silhouettes like Kim Possible, Gatchaman Crowds, and Birdy the Mighty.

His gloves and boots flow into his coveralls and the bands, pockets, and stitching on them are flat. The only thing that breaks it up is his vest It emphasizes his base shapes and lines I think, and makes it easier to animate him, makes him look more streamlined so it's easier to see him moving even when he isn't. He's also very exaggerated in his flow and movement. His tail helps a lot to in that regard, it's literaly a line so it's easy to use to express satisfying flow or movement like a snake or cat's tail even when still. The flames help set the type of jumpy, jerky, but still flowing movement he has and his hair is styled in a way to emphasize those qualities.

Compare that too Jimmy who is very long, stiff, and snappable. He's much more elongated and square, and is joints are more well defined and emphasized by the sleeves of his coat, form-fitting clothes, his body type being more like a stick figure, and the joints on his bird legs and knees being clear compared to how Tango's are hidden by the bagginess of his clothing. The only flowy part of him is his wings and hair and I - for lack of a better way to describe it - lower to poly count on both in his sheriff design to make him more angular. His face is also rounded though, unlike Tango's more pointed chinned heart-shape, to general make him cuter and dopier. I take all that into account when posing them, using straighter angles and lines for Jimmy. He's someone who folds, compared to Tango who is someone who curls.

I watch a lot of anime and cartoons with posing and linework I like, like heartcatch precure and Saint Seiya Omega's dynamic shots and updates to the 70s/80s shojo aesthetic. Looking at a lot of different art styles helps you hone in on what about them is appealing to you and making the shapes Work, even if you can't put it into words like me.

You can also, if you see something you like about someone else's style and you can't pinpoint what it is, trace it, break it down to your sketching steps, try and draw it yourself, then apply what you've figured out to your own sketch. Getting your hands on something yourself is usually gonna give you a lot more insight, at least that's how it is for me lol.

Studying real life posing will help you with basic structure that's the foundations and help you learn the basic Shapes of people you should always have in your mind, but I think studying other art will help a lot with the exaggeration, simplification, and abstraction needed to make people actually appealing to look at and satisfying to draw.

Honestly, also, save any lines you draw randomly that are pleasant, too. I have a whole folder of half-finished things and scribbles that I look through to help figure out what about them attracts me. It really helps you mentally break down your art and see it on a technical/abstract level rather than just a whole. Don't try to 'correct' a line that isn't 'right' on a technical level if it's satisfying. Drawings don't have to be realistic, unless that's what you're going for of course.

Also also also also also, study cloth and hair physics. Just, study cloth physics. It's THE most important thing to controlling a character's weight imo. You know how Kyoani and Ghibli like to emphasize emotions with floating hair and clothing reacting like cat's fur? Knowing how something is supposed to act is important to utilizing it, including breaking its rules for emphasis like that.

Um, I don't know if ANY of that actually helped, but I hope it did.

random sonic characters + magical girl headcanons no one asked for

-amy forced sonic to watch all of sailor moon with her. he hesitated at first but now he's a huge fan of it. he even cosplayed as tuxedo mask with amy, who cosplayed as sailor moon. amy's favourite character is sailor uranus. she realized she was bisexual because of her. sonic's favourite is sailor mercury.

-cream and amy have watched every single precure season together. cream's favourite season is kirakira and she's tried to make the sweets featured in that show. amy's favourite season in heartcatch. she thinks yuri deserves all the happiness in the world. also she's an itsubomi shipper.

-team dark have watched madoka magica together. shadow and rouge both cried during episodes 8, 9, 10, and 12, though they'd never admit it to anyone. shadow is a homura defender, the type who says "homura did nothing wrong". he'd write an essay about why she was justified in what she did in rebellion. he's also a massive madohomu shipper. rouge is a mami stan and thinks she deserves better. she also ships homusaya because she thinks their dynamic is great. omega doesn't get the emotional reactions but he cheered every time the girls fought. his favourite is kyoko.

-blaze has watched utena and she loves it. she thinks utena and anthy's story is the most romantic thing ever. she'd spend hours explaining the plot of utena.

-knuckles has watched futari wa precure with amy. he'd never admit it but he loves the earlier precure seasons. his favourite is cure black and he cheers whenever she punches things. only amy knows about his love for precure.

-amy and cream have the motto sweets song from ojamajo doremi playing whenever they make sweets.

-espio and charmy watched madoka magica when vector was away because he wouldn't let charmy watch it for some reason and they just don't get it. once they reach THAT scene in episode 3, they understand. charmy wants to continue watching but espio doesn't let him.

-rouge loves the old school magical girl anime like creamy mami and minky momo.

-amy, cream, and blaze have tried to sing the mermaid melody songs.

-tails has done the sailor moon pose more times than he'd like to admit.

-aside from sailor moon, cardcaptor sakura is another one of amy's favourites. she thinks sakura and syaoran's relationship is the sweetest thing ever.

-amy has yelled "pirika pirilala poporina peperuto" while summoning her hammer on one occassion.

Of blossoms and flying horses...

So....I decided to go ahead and start watching Omega. Because due to several unfortunate circumstances,I am unable to finish the original series right now. So I will continue to watch Omega,and hopefully,once the remake hits Netflix,we’ll FINALLY get an official English release. 

But the point of this post is, @specialcolorfulshabon inspired me with her Ryurika ship. It got me toying with the idea of Pegasus Koga and Tsubomi Hanasaki/Cure Blossom. I’ll keep toying with it,and see if it goes anywhere. Stay beautiful,y’all.

Is there some doremi/Heartcatch connection? Seems like weird series to crossover.

They have the same character deisgner, Yoshihiko Umakoshi. That art is from a art book doujin he released which seems to mostly focus on those two series. The two series actually share a lot of the same staff, but I don’t know any other names off the top of my head. He’s also done character design work for Casshern Sins, Saint Seiya Omega, and Boku no Hero Academia. He’s one of my favorite character designers.

heartcatch precure #5 is the first precure episode handled by morio hatano, a director whose more major duties include being the first series director of saint seiya omega and the second series director of dragonball super, but who im previously familiar with only from his work on precuresplashstar dot tumblr dot com favorite kyousougiga, which piqued my interest. here he’s working off his own storyboard, as opposed to those of the inimitable rie matsumoto, so i don’t have the easiest frame of reference when talking about the defining features of his work, but i can at least talk a little about the defining features of this episode

what stands out most, i think, is rather than dramatic framing or strikingly composed shots, is the mundane detail of a lot of it; a lot is lost when trying to convey what i mean with still images (and a gifset isnt something im confident tumblr will actually let me do), but throughout the episode there’s a consistent element of characters just. doing things in a way you don’t get a lot of

erika swinging her bag as she turns, a father and son peacefully playing catch in a park, erika rousing a sleepily disheveled tsubomi, and the repeated scenes of akira’s father calmly working in the back of the restaraunt as characters talk; there’s a comfortable atmosphere to it, the camera content to linger for long enough for somebody to perform unadorned but satisfying movement; its a really pleasant episode (and one that naturally manages to shift gears to a confidently framed action scene as well)

#episode writeups

[3starjammies]

I really need to watch Casshern Sins and Ojamajo Doremi.

I love Umakoshi’s design work. He’s one of my favorites but I’ve only seen Heartcatch Precure and My Hero Academia (which isn’t as distinctively his style since it’s a manga adaptation.)

There’s also Saint Seiya Omega but that’s like 90 episodes and it’s not rated very well so fuck that.
