Whynotboth - Tumblr Posts

Question: should I get the sleeveless white shirtdress with a Chinese collar on the left, or the sleeveless white shirtdress with an asymmetric draped front detail on the right? Answer: why settle for just one cool style item when I can have BOTH?! Good thing both of these fabulous pieces were on hella sale at @oxygenclothing that it feels like I got two awesome tops for the full price of one! #dressingroomdiaries #cheapfashionista #neverbuyatfullprice #oxygenclothing #sleevelessshirtdresses #shoppingonsale #whynotboth #letmetakeaselfie #genderlessdressing #oxygenayalacebu

Tuesday Tips - Structure/Gesture: Why Not Both!

Probably one the most compelling issue to deal with when drawing characters. There’s clear pros and cons to both approach. The key, IMO, is to straddle the line between both. Give appeal and energy through the use of gesture, but always give hints of structure, weight and solidity to make the character feel like it lives in an environment. I do a quick, dynamic gesture first, then I go back in and add some structure on a second pass. In a rush, I’ll focus the structure pass on faces, hands and feet (feet: their position on the ground to give weight and/or balance to the pose.) -Norm @grizandnorm #tuesdaytips #100tuesdaytips #100tuesdaytipsbook #structuregesture #whynotboth
