AfricanVoodoo's Sketchbook

Fedo: Heh... funny how simple shit can make drawings look better yet it's so difficult.

(Art): A set of anatomy studies of the lower leg that I wanted to do. What I learned? The front of the leg has little muscles that actually affect the surface unless they are in action. And even in action, it creates slight elevations I suppose. The main muscle that pops is the diagonal one reaching for the big toe.

 The party comes from the back of the lower leg, which holds the calves, which mostly affects the front view of the leg as well. I should just study the back and side of the lower leg from now on... 

oh, and asymmetry is very important in anatomy.

I was watching Proko's  video on cartooning the human body for caricatures, and the main thing I took from his process was...

(Art): To not give a hoot about anatomy at the beginning! If I was going to create a character, I should get the right shape, posture, and energy at the start, and then use that as a template for the anatomy and the proportions so the figure won't feel stiff. For Wario, I wanted him to have a big upper body with either normal legs or stubby legs. I did some concepts until I felt happy with a shape and pose that I liked.

I am still trying to create concepts while keeping the main idea. How do professionals do this?

(Art): Then I tried to make some notes and adjustments to the original sketch. I actually like this process, it makes things way more easier to do than making the anatomy explain the gesture and shape. It is quite the opposite happening here.

I REALLY need to start doing boxes and thinking about perspective. Maybe when summer is rolling around, I should start on drawing cubes and cylinders again.
