I found this nice tutorial/anatomy advice spread created by meghanhetrickof deviant art.
She gave me permission to post it up here to share so go make sure to visit her and look at her other creations of goodness!
Adding character diversity: Body type
Tips on how to draw not so cookie cutter characters! Change body type and shape, showing off natural differences in build that happen in real life! Not everyone is built the same!
Pt 2 and 3 will follow but check it out on the original posting on the artist’s deviant!Simple and easy to understand and everything you need to know about Good Character Design 101.
broadfields asked you: Could you possibly do a mouth tutorial? Unless you’ve already done so. In that case, possibly pointing me in the right direction? :]
I wash my hands of this. It’s evidence of my piss-poor design skills.
And they are all lovely.
Jeely, this has your name written all over it.
This post is imperfect, because that booty song is not attached to it.
Inspiration Reference
simple reference tools make a great amount of difference.
the people who make these kind of reference sheets must be gods :T
Scott Eaton’s Bodies in Motion Reference Library
One of my all time favorite anatomy references is this handy dandy little webpage here. More than 750+ male and female photos in sequence? check. Outstanding b/w lighting on all of them? check. All SFW images but enough skin showing where the muscle placement is? check. Contortion, fencing, parkour and other poses included? checkity-check.
All of that for free? Aw yeah.
Go take a look around. ;D
