With The Final Announcement For Viera Being Introduced I Figured Id Go Ahead And Share A Tutorial On

With the final announcement for Viera being introduced I figured I’d go ahead and share a tutorial on how to draw Viera ears for people who were interested. :D No one asked for this! LOL

A small foot tutorial that no one asked for lol but feet are important and harder to draw than hands so here ya go~

Yep… So this is what I think might be helpful. Check this tutorial by Sinix [x] it’s super helpful for drawing faces from different angles. Generally, if I can imagine a head in 3D I’m able to draw it and drawing eyes first helps me visualise everything. (It’s super sketchy but hope it’s understandable anyway :))

can you please do a quick tutorial similar to the head proportions one but on body? i always try to look at references but it's hard to always be right:) thank you so much for being so nice and helpful❤️

I pretty much just regurgitated what I’ve been learning in life drawing haha so thanks for helping me study! 

I hope that is understandable!

Do you have any tips for working on different body types? I try to use references but I still don't get it??

Great that you’re trying to use references!! Body types can be reduced down to basic shapes - just like everything else. Don’t focus on details before you get the basic shapes and structure down! 

hey can you do one of your awesome tutorial thingys about movement?? i know it's a broad topic but whenever i try to draw people they always look so stiff !

Wooo yeah that is a broad topic. I didn’t answer this immediately because I was trying to figure out how best to answer it. 

The most important element of capturing movement in your poses is drawing good silhouettes. Your figure’s movement but be communicated effectively, and the best way to see it is to black out the shape - if you can tell what the figure/pose is doing with no interior linework, then the pose works. If there are arms and stuff overlapping the main body, the movement is not effective. Here’s a good article on silhouettes in character design - one that my animation lecturer showed us: http://characterdesignnotes.blogspot.ca/2011/03/use-of-silhouettes-in-concept-design.html

You also want to exaggerate and PUSH your pose. When in doubt, BLACK IT OUT and see if your silhouette reads okay. If it doesn’t still, add some negative space somewhere and exaggerate it even more.
