When I Got This Ask I Got So Nervous Because I Really Suck At Teaching;;; Sorry For Getting To This So




when i got this ask i got so nervous because i really suck at teaching;;; sorry for getting to this so late and letting this stew in my drafts but here’s my best shot!
Some things to consider: Line of action is perhaps the most important thing when drawing poses and figures, as it is the balancing rod that guides the body’s movement. If the line of action is weak or doesn’t make sense, then the pose will not work no matter how much you try to fudge it.
I forgot to mention this in the drawings but you can see that i start every drawing with a basic skeleton. As much as i wish i could draw without the aid of a skeleton, it’s the most essential part of drawing figures.
USING REFERENCE PHOTOS IS A GODSEND. Do not disregard using references, it helps clarify the way a body can move and bend so so much. If you have trouble imagining how the fingers in a pose should look, try it out in the mirror and study your own hand!
there’s so much to talk about with posing and figures, i feel like i hardly scratched the surface. But i hoped this helped somewhat!

That’s my first (and probably not last) art tutorial! And Steve, well, he does his best.
Note: The blue at the bottom can be used to add some transparency to the fire but it’s optionnal. On the other hand, gaz lighted fires usually have blue. Good luck with you fiery projects!


Trying to level up my fur drawing game, so here is a reference! Hope this helps!
