You don't have to be the best at what you do.

You don't have to be the best at what you do.

You don't have to be the best at what you do.

Anything worth doing is worth doing badly

How to use reference in a smart way!
#education | #art | #arttutorial #reference

Reference by Pose Archives.
Title: Analyzing Reference - Pay attention to the angle of the joints: shoulders, hip, knees and feet. - Pay attention to the negative space left by the pose - Analyze weight distribution, gravity, tension and action. Find the weight bearing leg. The hip on that side is gonna be higher than the other side.

#art #studies notes for heads in two tones.
Identify most striking dark pattern when trying to summarise the eye shape. Take the main volumes of the head into consideration. (Forehead, sloping down the browbone into the cheekbones. Then the mouth barrel. Then the chin.

3 Most Important Concepts when tackling heads!

#arteducation #anatomy #tutorial
Skulls in front, 3/4 and side views. First concept is the midline that divides the head. Second concept is the front and side planes of the head Third concept is the contour lines that wrap around the surface.

This is what my warmup pages look like! Tips:

- doodle from your wrist and elbow
- make sure you take up the entire page
- practice your weaker angles too!
