Well for the backhanded compliment I'm not going to worry any
compliments whither constructive or destructive help. Art classes
and a teacher with a weird sense of humor help one toughens up for
the harder hits in life. As for the anatomy I am still a work in
progress.
In art we are taught to start with a wire frame and build from it,
however I only build partial frames. I let my eyes judge what looks
right, (even if it's not physically possible) most of the time my
figures are falling over or well body parts have this amazing
ability to disappear. I will agree hands and feet are a pain, hand
for me are the devil the feet and legs I do fine on why though no
idea maybe I'm a leg man ha-ha.
I know the chest needs work the shoulder are a bit long or are
female's shoulders and hip the same length. I know from shoulder
to
shoulder is 2 head lengths, but is a females pelvis 2 ½ length
long?
The muscle structure is still a battle the nuances of it are still a
mystery and looking in a mirror at ones own anatomy varies so random
guesses abound with me. Trying to mix a little toon with realism is
interesting, but realism grasps my hand to much. Though I lack any
shading, depth, and stability in my interpretative renditions it is
therapeutic to draw just to see what I can accomplish. At times
I'm
amazed and other I see more failures so art is a battle of a sore
hand, mind games, and then the character starts talking to you and
well depending on their mood is how fast you finish.(Joke pun or
comment goes here :P )
