    In my Psychology class this last term I was reading about how it's much easier for us to determine someone's emotion by mirroring their expression, and I've implemented that in my drawing.
    So when I want to make a character express a certain emotion I try to make the face that makes me feel like that. When it comes out good, I can look at the face I drew and it makes me feel that way, especially the happy ones.
    Also, with poses I try to make the pose or, like you said, touch myself. This really helps with drawing a realistic pose, but I definitely need to work on making my poses more dynamic and interesting.

  • @burymeinsmoke18
    @burymeinsmoke18 4 роки тому +3

    I do concur with both of you in some ways. My late professor of drawing taught us about something he called "reduction". He made us push ourselves to the point where our drawings or paintings were somewhat "photorealistic", exhausting ourselves to the maximum. That made us discover (each student for ourselves) new ways to get the same results faster and with less effort "reducing" the path from A to B; drawing without measuring or perspective grids; without focusing on details which in a blink of an eye a normal person wouldn't even notice
    . He also had his "gods of art" which he constantly made us study: for portraits Hans Holbein Jr.; for lineweight Albrecht Dürer; for figure and gestures Peter Paul Rubens; for lighting Rembrandt; and for color Manet . He taught us to focus on good shapes, but not to forget anatomy and fine art form, comparing art to math saying that with practice we'll find better and easier ways to solve a problem.. Sadly he passed away when I was 2nd year, and our new professor didn't concur with the late one's teachings, neglecting anatomy too much for the sake of expression "and good shapes" and etc. (...as all of the other professors did) despite some of us trying to push the "teachings" forward. So I guess balancing out knowledge and "reduction" is the way to go.

    This helps me out so much more. I was freaking out so much about how I need to get all the detail of the skeleton and muscles. What I should care about is shape and how the body looks and functions with turns and twists. I would like to become a character designer and dynamic poses are very difficult for me since I’m self taught. A lot of your advice is very helpful. Now I need to fully put this into action with studying.

    You are just saying exactly how I study xD
    Focusing too much on the details is a mistake we all make as beginners, but don't get confused, it is necessary to go through this, learn the details, because only then will we understand how to simplify later. Another important thing is that if you do not know good anatomy forget about giving good light and shadow in complex drawings, say with a certain level of realism.

    Something I learnt from life drawing and sculpting is getting the over all figure it doesn't matter if you know all the muscles but I found it very hard to get all the undulations of the musculature because I simply didn't know it or how it made the form feel and look. So is helpful to know anatomy for that reason.

    I think that is the different between animator and traditional artist. Animator is more focus on movement and flow and traditional is focus on accuracy. In animation accuracy is not as important as the motion.

    I love this though because I absolutely focus SO MUCH on realism and bones and anatomy and i found that I'm not really developing a style or doing any of that because I'm so paranoid on having anatomy right so I just assume all my stuff is bad and ugly if it's not totally anatomically correct like comic book work or something so I've stunted my ability to do good dynamic poses :/

    Everything you're saying is correct i think even realist artists pay too much attention to the structure and the details. Like getting a likeness for a portrait is important, but when you can't make what you're drawing or painting feel natural its going to suffer no matter how much it looks like the person. Artists run to learn anatomy because something feels off in their drawings and think the obvious answer is to study bodies to learn to draw them, but dont take the time to learn how each of the parts of the body flow in relation to each other. Doing quick life drawing poses can teach so much about gesture and the flow of the body, and in a minute you dont have the time to worry about those anatomical details. I think a lot of teachers and students over look the importance of gesture practice, even more so when the end goal is not a perfectly rendered human, and thats when the gesture and flow of poses is way more important because there is no obvious anatomy to hide the bits that are lacking in flow and shape design. PRACTICE GESTURE EVEN IF IT ISNT ACCURATE IT'LL FEEL BETTER THAN THE MUSCLES YOU THOUGHT WERE THERE

    I just love how he fades or sometimes even cuts straights his "If you liked this video, subscribe, like, comment and share".
    Like "Yeah Imma do what the others do, but also, not."
    He's inting what's he saying but also never really going through it. Didn't know that finding a way to make it original was possible. But then, Ethan appeared.

    I have different books and some talk bout shape some about anatomy being important. Depends your art style. I think shapes get you there faster but the anatomy courses do help identifying important landmarks in my opinion. That's the conclusion I've gotten to. One can be stuck a year practicing anatomy and still not draw something showing progress. Animation books focus on shape a lot and some pin up books recommend learning animation and some type of anatomy to show action in your drawings. But shapes learning shapes and perspective to me is more important satisfying and fun. I am subbed to James.

    You have to learn to walk before you can run. Learning anatomy is the first step and then you learn to exaggerate, stylize and focus on creating fluid poses. You can't skip the first step in your rush to reach the second step

      Mujda Hakime think of it like a sculpture, first you want to get the from and gesture, then start implementing finer details and muscle. Anatomy isn’t necessary, there are a lot of style which deviate from using it.

    "Study all you can, and do what works for you." That's how i view things. Am i good at art? Somewhat. Am i learning? Yes. I simplify shapes to help build up them to be complex, because that's how i draw currently. I learn best when things are complex, so i can simplify them in my own way, and build up in complexity.
