#i don't like foreshortening

[horizon-penblade]

ngl sometimes i wonder how much of the 'hands are so hard to draw' stereotype is actually drawing hands and how much is about positioning and drawing the arms

#i don't know what to do with my hands in normal situations how am i supposed to know what this character is supposed to be doing with his #hands in pockets are an easy default arm pose that doesn't require you to overthink about foreshortening or anything #as is hands clasped behind the back (which is what i went with) #hands in the air gesturing is something I would very much like to be able to draw well #but if I'm not going into a drawing with arm body language in mind then I'm not sure what to do about them #horizon struggles with arting

Hey Alka, I had a quick question for you (whenever you have the time to answer or even if you have the time), I've been taking some storyboard classes and with my illustration background, it's been hard to really find a good shorthand for characters to really get that anatomy/gesture looking right without it being too sketchy and unreadable.

How long did it take you to find your storyboard shorthand, and what exercises would you recommend to try to find it? I'm sure it just takes time and practice, I've been doing a lot more studies and gesture drawings (currently following along all the free Glenn Vilppu videos I can find on youtube) but I wanted to ask you as well because I am in love with how fluid your anatomy is, and how clear your storyboards read. And those hands my god you're a wizard!!!

Thanks a bunch, have a wonderful day!

Heya Secret, great to hear from ya! Well, what you don’t see online is how gross the rough stage of my boards can get LMFAO. Most of the boards I post are actually overly cleaned up because I'm just doing them for fun and can afford the time! I'm not really sure how long it took to develop my shorthand, I've never really enjoyed drawing detail to begin with, so when I decided to go into boarding I kinda just leaned into it!

I’ve covered a bunch of gesture drawing exercises already if you scroll through my advice tag, but ***once you have a good foundation*** here's some stuff you can try!

First you'll want to build up an arsenal of anatomy hacks you can always fallback on, particularly for complex parts of the body. The less time you spend on details, the more time you have to focus on the overall pose and storytelling. Aim to find ways to draw with as FEW lines as possible. If I had to make a list to streamline what to practice:

Head shapes - find the most efficient way to draw the front + 3/4 + side view in as few lines as possible (the challenge is still making them look structured with dimension)

Eyes - are SO important for expressions! Unless your project has characters with dot eyes, you're going to need to find a quick way to do the circle and iris in as few lines as possible. Make sure you can convey where they're looking

Hands - fists (you'll be drawing a lot of people holding poles), open palms at various angles, foreshortened fingers pointing at viewer, fingers making grabby motions----protips: 1) half the time all you need is a vague triangle/rectangle plus thumb sticking up and that's a hand 2) if the hand is relaxed, you probably don't need to draw the knuckles. Save some time!

Feet - just learn how to make sure they look like they're standing on the ground, and do some studies of what they look like when you're running. Otherwise you can usually get away with a vague shoe or boot shape (just add toe lines if they're not wearing any)

----everything else you'll practice as you go!

Jump from SUPER rough straight into clean boards to really force yourself to be economic. I've done each of these methods for work before:

Before you start boarding with a character, sketch them a few times with the intention of simplifying their design while keeping them recognizable:

You'd be surprised how little you need to recognize a character:

Depending on the scene, you can adjust how much detail you want to include:

Stay loose/more generalized with action, especially for the "inbetweens" between key poses. Clean up enough to communicate movement and make the character recognizable.

If the character's small on screen in a wide shot, edit out most details and focus on the silhouette

Save the detail work for character acting, when you really want to be specific with their expressions and gestures.

But outside of all that, be bold and fearless!! Everyone has that stage where their boards look like spaghetti! Boarding is like handwriting; you could have really shitty chicken scratch, but if you're writing beautiful poetry, who cares!

god I love drawing hands you don’t even know thank you so much!! Good luck dude!! You’ve more than got this!!

Sorry if this is an obvious question but with the impending doom stuff- how different is that to. Hm how to phrase this. I have a sort of long term foreshortened future thing going on with my illness where I'm Always certain I'm going to die soon, and sometimes I get periods of Oh it's Getting Closer. I don't really feel afraid, but I tend to seek medical help anyway just in case- and in most cases something is wrong. Usually I have a virus.

But I don't really know how to categorise that feeling seperately from depression? And people talking about calm acceptance in Sense of Impending Doom resonates with me. But I'm always worried about mentioning this certainty to doctors because they tend to already think I'm making shit up/overdramatic.

Sorry for rambling. Point is- do you know much about a longer term "sense of Impending doom" ?

Possibly. Hm, let me see if I can put this in words.

So, my near-death experience in 2019 was a slow, drawn-out process largely facilitated by medical neglect. I knew something was Wrong in my body, and no one was listening to me. I knew it was going to kill me soon, but again, no one was listening, so I just kind of... quietly got my shit together. It felt gradual but inevitable. Creeping. With hindsight, that was my organs slowly winding down. Horrible feeling.

But that was very different from what I will now categorize as Immediate Impending Doom, which sort of hits like a tidal wave. It's weird to say it's an urgent-calm feeling, but that's what it is.

It's a very now feeling. Like, death within the next twenty minutes to an hour. It's the difference between "This will happen soon, get your affairs in order," and "This is a medical emergency; pay attention. Now."

Which I also have to differentiate from the "something is wrong" feeling I get as a chronically ill person when something new pops up.

I sometimes get what I think of as "warning flashes." My immune system is overreactive thanks to my mast cells being little malfunctioning bastards, so when I get sick with something else, it kicks off my fight or flight due to adrenaline and a bunch of other hormones being thrown into the mix like a Molotov cocktail.

I've had to learn to distinguish that from anxiety/depression because of the nature of my illness (can it be remedied with my meds, does doing grounding exercises help, what are my vitals etc), and I imagine it's the same for other chronically ill people, even if they don't have my specific immune problems.

A virus or something else will absolutely stress out an already stressed nervous system, and it can send you into a feeling of fight or flight, which can feel a bit doom-y.

But the Impending Doom they talk about with heart attacks, strokes, anaphylaxis etc, etc, is a very immediate and all-consuming feeling. The "soon" you seem to be describing seems to be "it'll happen sooner than later" but the Immediate Impending Doom is "right the fuck now." Is that right? Did I pick up on that, or am I way off?

Gah. I'm still probably doing a very bad job of explaining this.

Tags: NSFW, TheLounge, Dreamcatcher, Handong, female reader (or potentially a force-feminized male reader your mileage may vary), just a little quick-read ficlet about how Handong is a pervert, is that a foot fetish?, you should probably worship Handong’s body, she got them wander-y eyes and hands, woah woah woah you don't think this is inappropriate do you?, are you a dirty little reader?, oh you're a dirty little reader alright, Handong can tell

Just A Little Vanity

Handong strikes quite the figure. Most anyone would, sitting as she is on an armchair ornate enough to be mistaken for a throne. Your particular point of view is that of extreme artistic foreshortening. Mere millimeters away from your eyes, her bare foot takes up most of your field of view, obscuring even her crossed, mile-long legs. Her face, appropriately for such protracted limbs, seems distant and yet no less beautiful. Beyond those gorgeous, exposed legs, her fashion sense is as ostentatious as the tower-like structure of her body. Shaggy faux fur on denim, bedazzled camo, and pearls. Hair so platinum it might as well be chrome, reflecting blacks, blues, whites, and silvers. One slender finger adorned with two unreasonably large rings taps gently against her cheek.

“What to do… what to do…” she muses, “with such a naughty little girl like you.”

“Make me please you?”

She sighs heavily and presses her big toe against your lips. “Shush, you. It was not a question. Did you hear a question mark?” she demonstrates her meaning with her tone well enough for you to recognize the rhetorical nature of the question. The rest of your suggestions will have to wait.

“You…” Handong says, stroking your jawline with the same foot, “do not get to wave that delicious butt of yours in front of me all day and then just get what you want. There are consequences for teasing me.”

Although you're not going to say anything about it, you can’t help but think that perhaps Handong was planning this all along. After all, she made you wear a tiny skirt today, insisting it would be fine without safety shorts, and then she found any and every reason to be behind and slightly below you. It was certainly less than subtle. You'd been feeling her eyes burn a hole in your helplessly visible underwear all day. At least it kept your ass warm in the chilly spring air.

Yes, it was all a trap. Not a particularly clever one, and also not one you mind being caught in. Though it'd be nice if she let you kneel somewhere other than the hard floor.

Handong continues to caress you with her foot, lifting your chin, turning your head to either side. She inspects your face from each angle.

“Done talking back?” she threatens.

“Yes,” you talk back. Cheeky, but technically compliant.

She smirks with you, appreciating the irony. “Good. I would hate to have to send you home without a snack.”

Oh how utterly, coquettishly subtle.

“Please, no, Handong. I'm so hungry.”

She lifts her foot, and your jaw with it, snapping your mouth shut. “Shut up already. I am looking at you.”

It's unclear how those things are related, but you keep yourself from saying anything.

With a flourish, Handong uncrosses her legs, spreading them wide so you can briefly see up her skirt. “Surprise,” no underwear. But you can't look long. Her upper body spans that vast distance in an instant, putting her face nearer to yours, going from practically a pinprick to vision-encompassing, menacing you from above. Those slender, metal and jewel laden fingers grasp just below your chin, holding your head still. You only feel four fingers, giving you the impression that she's sticking her pinky out as if you're a fancy glass of wine. You can't wait for the dinner party.

Handong clicks her tongue, half-lidded eyes traveling up and down. They linger on the down stroke, reminding you of the other piece of clothing she'd demanded of you. Your chest is barely covered, the neckline of the shirt so low that it really shouldn't be called a “neck"line anymore, but perhaps a “nipple"line. As she pulls you forward, you're sure she can see far, far more than the shirt's designer ever intended. Handong's light dusting of a blush and perverted twitch of a lip key you in further.

“Mmm,” she hums, “I could just take a bit out of you.”

You bite your tongue to stop yourself from correcting her verbal spelling error. She tends to make more mistakes when her mind is meandering down your clothes.

She urges you up with a slight pull. Anybody normal would close their eyes for the impending kiss, but Handong’s eyes stay open and predatory until the last possible moment.

When you’re close enough, she strikes. Your lower lip is caught between her teeth and she nibbles softly before she kisses you proper. Her breath hisses between the gaps at the corners of your lips, greedy more for you than the air. She pries your mouth open with hers, invading you unreasonably quickly. She’s got a different metric for what constitutes reasonability though. You’re her toy. She'll play with you according to her rules.

“Handong!” Soomin shouts from across the room, “I’ve called your name three times! Come get your damn coffee! And we’ve got rooms for that!”

Without any additional warning, Handong drops you to the floor, stands up, and glides gracefully past you toward the counter. Watching her go past, you see no small number of other coffee shop-goers staring in your direction.

“Thanks, babe,” Handong flirts shamelessly as she picks up your drinks, “Oh, and I would like to use one of the rooms.”

okay i know that this is just An Cathedral, and Hels is full of them, but the thought of Tanguish doing God Help The Outcasts in the Saint of Blood and Steel's Church unaware that the Saint himself is *right there* and holding a grudge about it is sending me. smh the real reason he wants to get rid of Tanguish is that he keeps turning his shrine into a musical theater

Oh, Tanguish is singing in the Saint's Church! We haven't gotten there yet [and probably won't for awhile because I have the writer's block of the century] but Tanguish doesn't like the Saint of Blood and Steel. They don't agree on key points about what makes someone worthy of being given love and reassurance by a higher power. That's fine though. The Saint doesn't care if people like them. The Saint only cares if they are fighting for a worthy cause.

Anyway, have a sneak peak of the Saint's Altar [based off of the altar at Notre Dame]

The Saint's statue is actually a lot bigger than this, I just can't draw it massive easily, so,,, here's a small guy instead. His actual statue is probably around 50ft tall, with a sword made of red glass. The guy in the comic is probably closer to 20ft tall, so decent parts of him can fit in a panel without the foreshortening ruining everything.

[namedr]

What are your art inspirations?

Disclaimer: A LOT of RAMBLING

Honestly hard to answer, nowadays I don't really look at a lot of art anymore but mostly just movies.

Biggest inspiration over the years (from 2020 to 2022) would have to be Kan Liu. His painting style with mostly just the round brush and hard edges really spoke to me, especially when it came to lineart I was a massive fucking copycat lmao.

Around 2022 I also began falling in love with Sungmoo Heo. The perspectives and overall style just fucks so hard.

The most obvious inspo would have to be Seonhyeok Jeon though, who I still rip off blatantly.

In general I began taking art seriously around 2020, when I found Kan Liu, because I began training to compete in bodybuilding, which I did the next year. I began getting super interested in how the body and muscles work so I just drew those a fuck ton, and those anatomy studies ended up really helping my art skills in general.

Anyway! For animation... Hiroto Nagata and Q Kawa are big inspos.

This shit is so fucking RAW and HOLY SHIT when I look at how the perspective gets just in your face I always just think "what am I even doing man I have to PRACTICE". It's like watching a Zyzz or Ronny Coleman clip before doing a lift at the gym but for art, shit's motivational.

This cut in Ghost In the Shell as well is WOW, I think what speaks a lot to me is when an animation doesn't conform to what's standard in the medium and tries to push boundaries/be unique. Be it in this case through insane details, in the case of Mushoku Tensei through bg animation mixed with extreme foreshortening or just a crazy perspective and punchy movements in the Madoka clip.

Overall it's hard to say what else my inspirations are though. When it comes to manga and comics I can think of Batman Year One, The Climber by Shin-ichi Sakamoto, Ultra Heaven by Keichi Koike, Solo Leveling (big inspo in 2021) and Homunculus.

Also, even though everyone assumes it, I haven't played Cyberpunk 2077 or am that big a fan of the Blame! manga, I guess I just have a fairly similar artistic vision to both of those.

For animated fiction it'd be Spiderverse recently, Millennium Actress, Silent Voice and a million other anime I've forgotten the name of. Naoko Yamada's directing for Silent Voice or other anime like Hibike Euphonium and the Liz movie has always been amazing to me because she is able to express characters personalities through their body language, like they way they walk or stand, in a way I have never seen done before. Extremely recognizable and iconic style imo. A long time ago I used to be really into watching anime, but I don't care much for it anymore.

Other inspo would be this guy on twitter, his stuff is insanely cool https://twitter.com/be_myvu/status/1725069515107533178?s=46

It's like that Ralph Waldo Emerson quote - “I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” I think throughout the years I've been so obsessed with all kinds of artists that I've taken in inspiration from everywhere. I cannot recall them all anymore, but they have made me the artist I am today.

Currently, like I said, I would consider movies to be my biggest inspiration because I find it interesting how cinematographers are able to stylize real life, which I'm trying to get closer to. If I could direct a movie, I would probably stop making art right then and there, but I'm not really working towards that goal anyway lmao. One day, being able to make a short film in animation would be something I would like to do though.

I'm not deep enough into the movie scene to get the street cred of being called an expert but I love them a lot. Fallen Angels made me fall in love with fisheye back then for example. Fight Club and The Batman have a grit to them visually that I find inspiring, and movies like Persona and Heat also come to mind when I think of movies I just love. I could look up my letterboxd for a more thorough answer but I feel I've already been writing way too long.

For video games, I guess you can imagine that I would say Signalis lmao. Besides that I can think of Subahibi (vn), Muramasa (vn), and Va-11 Hall-a for inspirations

Lastly, I guess huge inspirations are also a fuck ton of music. I mostly listen to either metal or hard techno, but I think I'll refrain from any more yapping.

I feel that this isn't really a great answer to the question, but it's the one I consider the most correct, because it's never as simple as just mentioning one artist. With a lot of these you wouldn't see a visual resemblence to my art, but in all of these I recognize a feeling that I also find in my own art.

Thank you for the question!

To my fellow artists with burnout, if you're like me and sometimes desperately want to Draw but don't have the spoons to think through the process of drawing, I highly recommend just gathering a bunch of photo refs and sketching over them to break down poses/foreshortening/expressions/etc. A lot of my work is reference heavy so this is also a Very Helpful habit to build up because it helps improve your skills with breaking down references photos in ways that allows you to study the aspects you want to emulate in your art.

#beastiebites #artists on tumblr #disabled artist #i know this may not work for everyone but god it really helps me #digital art #if anyone has questions about how to go about breaking down reference photos i am happy to explain my own process just drop an ask

[zzoupz]

Art question time! Cause im curious and as a fellow artist im always looking towards my peers for advice ^^

- When sketching do you break up form into shapes? [Ex: head is a circle with an chin, ribs is an upsidedown trapezoid]

-How often to you use references while drawing?

-How do you choose your colors?

-Just like, tell us about your process pretty please? You are such an amazing artist

awe thank you 🥰 sure thing

1.I draw the head as an oval or a vague head shape, the torso and crotch as 3d boxes and the limbs as tubes. I don't pay much attention to the head in the first sketch because I always seem to ignore the guidelines lol. my average sketch looks like this

(the horizontal lines helps with foreshortening, which is pretty neat.)

2. somewhat often! I open up references like, pretty much every time I struggle with something. mostly unusual angles. I like to use those model posers you can find online (my favorite one is pose.myart! had my back since 2021)

3. okay I'm not professionally educated in any way so bear with me. I pick out a tone for my art and base the whole palette around that. you can make this easier by coloring the background first (you can change it later.) I also like to pick a few colors that would stand out, like using warm accents in a canvas that is mostly cool or having a few spots of bright colors on a dark piece, etc. it's completely optional, though.

attempting to explain here

you can also make a color layer on top and fill it with white to check the value and make sure that the colors are distinguishable, I also use this method when character designing.

you can also of course, use tone curve or an overlay layer (Difference is my favorite), this isn't cheating as much as it's just using a tool. just do it if it helps, if you feel shame don't listen to it that's the devil talking

HOOOO boy that was a long explanation. I really hope I make at least a little bit of sense because they're like unspoken rules for me aka I never put them into words lmao

but yeah, hope this helps! :D

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

I just want to say this- I've been looking at your art, and your artwork is so awesome!

As a fellow art lover and artist, how often do you deal with the frustration of knowing what mistake you make, when doing a sketch and how do you handle it?

Hello Anon! (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ

First of all, thank you so much for the kind words!

About the frustrated thingy, I feel it almost every single day. "Almost" because sometimes I'm just on fire and can nail the drawings, but more often than not, I tend to scrap my sketches and start from the beginning.

"Knowing what mistake you made" is actually a really, really good place to be! Because at least we know what's wrong. Usually with art, we tend to not know what we do wrong, so we can't even begin to fix what's wrong.

Why doesn't my drawing resemble the character? Why does the anatomy look wrong? Why is the leg bend in such a wrong way? Why does the elbow look weird? Why is the hand look like it's been crushed? Why is my lineart so flat? Why don't my art has more character? All these questions circulates my mind almost constantly!

So I learn how to identify my mistake.

Oh! His eyes are upturned, not downturned! Oh, his eyebrows are supposed to be thicker! Oh the the thigh is too long or the calves are too thin! Oh the elbow's too short or the foreshortening can be fixed! The fingers bent the wrong way, maybe I should take a photo of my own hand as reference! Maybe my lineart needs more variations on the thickness and identify which part needs more thicker line and which part needs a thinner line. Maybe I just need to practice a fuck ton more!

These little errors don't define our whole arts, it helps us to be better. Yea it might take years but it's just us being human. We repeat mistakes, but that's why we practice.

So uhh that's my lil advice to the question! Hope that answers it, happy drawing and don't forget to stay happy yayayaya ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

1st day as an amateur illustrator. I spent three hours collecting pictures of ancient china only to realise i was looking at the wrong dynasty but I forgot to label the pictures and i dont have an organisational system in place so i have no way of seperating them from the correct dynasty, inadvertently creating the world's dumbest and most low-stakes russian roulette.

4th day as an amateur illustrator. i found some really good sources on ancient china but they're all in chinese and i can't read chinese so i'm been painstakingly Ctr + P --ing it into google translate until finally i get to a scanned pdf and at this point i just decided to cut my losses and get ratio'd by armchair historians.

5th day as an amateur illustrator. im 3 days ahead of schedule and make a vague but grandiose boast about my incredible skills and enviable work ethic. i also have a 50 point essay due in two weeks i haven't touched but that's neither here nor there.

6th day as an amateur illustrator. i realise i've miss-read the dynasty for the Warlord's little hat (apparently ming and han look very similar when you're sleep deprived) so i have to white-out ALL his panels and redraw his hat. it's at this point i start to realise life is imitating art.

7th day as an amateur illustrator. i realise i've been in the wrong dynasty this whole time. op was probably talking about the tumultuous 3 kingdoms period (late 2nd century) NOT the peaceful Han dynasty (early 2nd century) which seems blindingly obvious in hindsight. i fight the urge to convert all my manuscripts to kindling.

8th day as an amateur illustrator. i get some sleep and realise the 3k period was only 60 years long. i can still use my han references. i don't really have to do anything except change my notes.

10th day as an amateur illustrator. I wasn't happy with the background on a panel because the foreshortening was slightly off-center so i cut out the parts i liked, pasted it onto a new sheet of paper and redrew it. no my essay is still not finished stop asking.

12th day as an amateur illustrator. i finally finish the comic 3 days behind schedule. i bus to the library with my stuff in a folder because i don't have a printer at home then i realise in my sleep deprived state i forgot to rub out the pencil lines and you can see them on the scan but i don't have a rubber so i use the pdf editor to white them out with my trackpad and then the wifi at the library keeps cutting out so I can't upload any files. i've decided this is a sign that i should finish my essay before i bus back home.
