@icequeenabby and @pageofheartdj sorry this got long and I had to make a whole new post >.<

ok so! first of all here's the site I mentioned (highly suggested, you won't regret the hard work).

then for a small tutorial (I hope I make sense)

The line of action is not the curve of the spine, but the path of the movement of the body. More like a guide of the force and movement of an action. You can use more than one on a single pose of a figure, eg for the torso and for the arms or one for an arm and one for the rest of the body.

First thing you wanna do is find the movement in the pose you wanna create. every pose has movement, even "static" ones like sitting, sleeping etc and even if you're only drawing a bust.

(for this,as with all drawing, the best advice is to observe real life, even before starting practicing drawing poses)

so, step 1: draw a line

the human body mostly moves through S an C shapes, an S shape is good to start with because we are usually starting with a core movement, so the torso is the main character here.

I said that the line of action is not necessary the spine, but it can happen to be similar or close to it as it is our core. just do not let that constrain you.

step 2: head, rib cage and pelvis

using the first line we're placing these three along it and marking what direction they're facing with those cross lines.

you can already see the movement.

step 3: secondary lines of action

be loose and go with the flow! Remember: ACTION FIRST, STRUCTURE SECOND! that means that the anatomy comes after the movement you are trying to depict. build the structure on top of the action.

(of course that does not mean anatomy is less important, they work in tandem, and a better learning of anatomy gives you also a better grasp on portraying movement)

step 4: legs, aka more Lines of action

the line of action is not necessarily a curve, it can also be a straight, and creating a visual contrast using both types makes the pose more interesting.

Of course there isn't a single way to do the same thing

a single line of action (B) would have also worked to start with!

Here's 2 examples of more dynamic poses I drew:

with more dynamic and extreme poses the main line of action is more often a C shape as the body compresses. (objects can have lines of action too! notice donnie's bo and mikey's nunchaku)

As I said, learning anatomy goes hand in hand with practicing poses and lines of action, as you will notice how the single parts of the body move and the way they all have their own intrinsic movement.

To start is useful to take some pictures of people/animals and just draw the lines of action on top. Start with just one line of action and after you've practiced a bit, move on to photos of more complex poses and find the secondary lines.

Holy shit, this pack ended up bigger than I thought it would, and I still had so many assets I'd made for this set that I have extras that I can include later as a part 3 bonus pack. This month's big reward pack is my art nouveau room/class assets that I made for Soli. All of these are drawn by me and includes a lineart variant for the assets that I did lineart for (so, when available.) I did some color alts on the stain glass and pattern tiles special for patrons, and there's also two huge new full sized illustration files available for this month as well! Head over to the patreon and grab some goodies. All previous month's packs are still available, including tons of brushes and other transparent illustration assets! Solivaga Patreon - April Rewards

Hi so um, hello <3 I created a discord dating server with my friends, since I played good at being a Cupid and we thought it would be fun on a whim and then I banned some people and my friend then exposed them for copying my server, which resulted in them trying to dox me. And well . . . they were successful.

These are their users, please report them if you can. They've been harassing me for awhile now . . .

users :

Available in screenshots, but not all of them are there.

A few are listed below, one of their names is emmy btw. She's been harassing me on multiple accounts.

The last 3 are accounts that Emmy had used to harass me.
