How to Sketch✏️ Drawing Anime Poses [Clip Studio Paint 2024]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Hi!
Many of you asked how I come up with poses for my anime drawings. So here’s an in-depth video of my process of getting inspired, looking for references and drawing poses! These are my go-to methods whenever I make a new character illustration.
I wanted to share them with you since I think the initial inspiration and rough sketches are the base for every drawing which oftentimes get skipped in the showcase of art processes.
It’s the most important step in my opinion.
For this video I am using Clip Studio Paint, but it’s working with every other art program.
So I hope this will provide some helpful insight and maybe some inspiration for your own art process :) That’s my main goal, making motivating videos for you to draw^^
Let me know your opinion and thoughts, I will try to reply to them!

the way you organize with a second window and folders was something I've never thought of before ; ty so much for sharing
I love Organisation when it comes to my layer management ^^ it just speeds up the process which saves a lot of time and frustration haha
Same just gave me an idea to do this 😮
most people think drawing really good is only achieved by practicing, but it’s really not. it requires thinking as you go, you have to build THAT mindset, it’s all about how your brain works. once you can get into that mindset, you can truly draw anything. nice video!
i see geto, i click, I’m a simple girl 🎀
Knew I wasn’t the only one
came for geto stayed for the amazing tutorial. You’re awesome!!
Aw thanks a lot!
I have not words to describe how helpful your videos are. They are something out of my dreams. To finally see and understand what happens behind the curtains from dynamic pieces of art
Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate this :)
But you just used words to describe how helpful it is ❤❤
LİTERALLY MY ART HAS İMPROVED SO MUCH İN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THANKS TO U OMFG. i started studying your style and once i saw your youtube it was just so amazing!!! literally god of drawing fr TYSM FOR ALL YOUR WORK ♡♡♡
Oh gosh you don't know what this comment means to me! This makes me flattered and motivates me to keep sharing my videos. Thank you so much ☺️
This came sooo handy, right now I was stuck in the sketch phase and you just saved me! I always feel super insecure when it comes to actually making a completed illust but your videos ease my fear and show me the reality of the process and for that I'm super grateful 🙏
That's wonderful to hear! I want to make every step as transparent as possible for people to see and comprehend. And this starts with looking for references and this also means making tons of several different sketches and easing and deleting and scrapping sketches I've been working for hours. I want to show all the vulnerable steps of my process :) thanks for letting me know and I am wishing you all the best :)
The guides you provide are wonderful and very inspiring. Thank you so much for all the videos on your process and the tutorials!!
Oh I am so happy to hear!I will make sure to make helpful videos in the future :) thank you for your comment!
you inspired me to be more organized when starting to sketch a pose cuz i always jumbled back and forth without compiling my refs which made me overwhelmed everytime thank you so much for sharing :D!!
I love to have a clear guide/reference file to not come to the point of questioning everything I did xD So having this as steady base to work with is really reassuring and speeds up my workflow ^^
it is very reassuring that you also sketch around and correct things, I always feel like other artists just get it right extremely quickly
the first method is surely one i would love to "master" in the future. I struggle a lot with finding a good reference for what i have in mind and most of the time i either give up or do something entirely different because i can't find what i exactly need. so having to puzzle everything together from many reference is on one hand a time consuming but on the other hand a very smart method! thanks for sharing!!
That's true. It takes time to decide what part is useful and how a possible pose can be made of it but I think it's worth because it trains the skill to understand shapes and form and human anatomy. And it makes it easier to come up with own poses without references. Then they will just be needed for complicated parts or so :)
Your videos always help me find my motivation to draw! Thanks as always!😁
Woah that's wonderful to hear!thanks a lot :)
Thank you for showing your workflow! I can see that your anatomy and perspective knowledge are really the foundation of sketching so effortlessly! I'm inspired by you to keep learning and leveling up!
Aw thanks! I guess being able to do things effortlessly is a matter of repetition and time and slowly but surely you will expand your foundation and tools to work with :) thanks for your comment :)
hi! you know what?
i love how the improvement you got here, i compare your videos from 2018 and this one.
it's really inspire me !
Oh thanks! I am glad to hear :)
This was so helpful!!! I love your tutorials, theyre so easy to follow. I can't believe i never thought of combining several references to make a pose before thanks!
OMG a great video with an awesome way of collecting references and combing them to make a single art work i'm in love with both methods both are so LIT gonna try this and will attempt this method on my arts for sure tysm for this video...
Every tutorial from you is a gold mine! Thank you for this one as well!
Oh wow, thanks for your kind comment^^
Both of these ways of doing it I feel are helpful, thank you for sharing! There are times when I have a character and I'm not sure what to do so thank you, you've given me some ideas for next time!
I am happy to hear! Splitting it like that made it easier for me to focus on one thing at the time and not worrying too much :)
I've never really thought of using reference in this way you've shown, and your technique is very eye-opening for me. Thank you so much for your amazing videos. :)
This is actually so helpful tysm for sharing!
very helpful tutorial! I will definitely use it in the future!
I am glad to hear! Thank you :)
This was so helpful!💕
You just earned yourself a new subscriber!! This really helps a lot! Keep making amazing videos 🎉
Thank you for the video!!
you inspire me so much, thank you for sharing!!
Aw thank you! I am glad it was inspiring ^^
This tutorial couldn't have come at a better time. I always struggle with poses for characters so this helped a lot. Thanks so much for always sharing your process 🙏
Ahh that's awesome to hear! I am glad it could provide some sort of help :) I think getting the pose right is the key for any good illustration and everything else will be built up of that ^^
I adore your art and tutorial so much!!
Wow thank you very much for your kind words!
omg kuroshiro i adore you. your tutorials and speedpaints are very inspiring to me!! tysm for your efforts
Aw thank you! That's sweet of you!
your vids are always helpfull and motivating ty!!🧡
That's wonderful to hear! Making motivating videos is all I want :)
Your videos are always top tier, It transpires passion and hard work.
Woah thanks for this compliment! I really appreciate it and I try to post more in the future :)
This video was sooooo helpful, thanks for being a life saver!! Also, really nice to see more of your sketching process!
Oh I am really glad to hear that! Sketching is the most vague state of my drawing process so I usually skip recording it because I am so indecisive haha
Yesss just what I needed!😊
Ahw glad to hear!
This is so helpful!! Thank you so much for creating and sharing!❤
Thank you for your comment :3
This is great! It's crazy how much the quality of the references influence the quality of final result.
That's true! I always notice that the more care and organisation I put into my references the easier it is for me the actually draw ^^
thank you for sharing 💜this was enlightening to me as someone who's been feeling like their art has been becoming stale as of late.
I am so glad to hear! Thank you :)
This was so helpful! i always struggle with coming up with poses. I'll have to try both methods!
I am wishing you the best of success! :3
Как же вы офигенно рисуете... надеюсь когда-нибудь смогу так же🤩
I love your tips ❤
Thank you! Glad to hear :)
Thank you for the great videos!They help a lot.Your drawings looks amazing 🫡
I am glad they provide some help! Thanks for your comment :3
I have been looking for the right video and i hit the jackpot , I am so glad I found this video thanks a lot ,you just earned yourself a new subscriber
Wow this means a lot to me! How cool :) I hope it provides some helpful insights!
so helpful i love you :3
Thank you!
Wow
Also i love your art :D
Ah, you're so cool, Kuro-san! Not only you're showing how to use references correctly -- I find it really instructive and inspiring to see your sketching process. Nice sketch gives motivation to continue the drawing, and I that's really great to see such skillful example, clean and beautiful. Great video, thank you!
Oh thanks for your kind and sweet comment, I really appreciate it :3 I think the sketch stage is the most vulnerable part of every drawing so showing it gives a lot of insight into a drawing process :)
Damn it, such a good tips
Damn this man really good at drawing and utilize reference to the peak and am honestly amaze. Keep up the good work
Thank you! I will trying my best :)
So awesome! Ive actually been struggling with having to sort of stick with the pose of my reference, but this might take me to a whole new level
Thank you! I am wishing you the best! Sometimes it's unavoidable to stick to one reference but changing small things can really personalise it :)
@@kurohshiro do you have a patreon or any other social media where you would give advice in exchange for some fee? It’s my dream to be able to draw the way you do.
Thanks a lot 😊 sharing with us Thank you I learned a lot from watching your video 😊
I am happy to hear! Thank you so much :)
@@kurohshiro can you make a video on how to learn anatomy
Waited a bit to watch this one so I can use it to help with a new illustration from scratch! I'm so envious of how well your sketches are! My sketches are usually so different to my final and it changes a lot while I work. It often becomes a bit frustrating to when it takes so long to get something I'm satisfied with. But I've come to trust the process!
I feel like my method is a bit of #1 and #2 combined. I usually either have a character in mind but a vague idea of a pose and I use a bunch of references to get something I like. Or I have a pose (or when browsing Pinterest, a whole outfit) that I think would suit a couple of characters well and I have to figure out which characters would suit it most. The second is a bit more fun because it just means I can do multiple drawings with a similar theme instead of just picking one!
I understand the struggle with sketch vs final drawing. Oftentimes my sketches lose their dynamic and light attire. I also think it's completely fine spending a lot of time on the sketching stage since that's the skeleton of your entire drawing and when this has a solid foundation then the rest shouldn't be an issue anymore (even though I start to struggle with facial anatomy lol). Anyways, I really appreciate to hear your thoughts on that! I think overall it's the best to just draw what feels good and finding your personal and comfortable process :) again, thanks a lot for sharing your ideas!
Thank you for sharing your method!
It's really helpful really, knowing how you come up with dynamic and amazing poses.
I like both methods thou, and I think it depends when it comes to which method you apply.
To achieve such skills require effort and time, but thanks to you, I have the guideline.
Keep up your great work! Wish you the best!
That's true! And after all finding your own way is the best method anyways :) thanks a lot for your comment :)
Thank you for your hardwork and reply thou💛
very useful thank youuuuu
I am glad to hear!
I like your art a lot. I was curious on how you got your cursor to look like that, with 5 lines?
I will try to use the frist method for start thanks. i am usually not very good when i make moodboards, so well. Thanks you :3
Thanks for letting me know! Moodboards usually tend to look aesthetically pleasing when you google for moodboards but i prefer just to put in everything which could help my process^^ So even when you start with too much input images in the beiging you will notice which images you actually need and which you don't^^
seeing you sketch the bodies look so easy 😭 how do you understand anatomy that well..
This was very helpful and especially eye-opening for me as I'm someone who gets bored trying to find references and ends up using barely any, which results in unnecessary struggles xD Thank you for sharing your methods ^^ and btw, I find your art very inspiring ♥
Thanks for your comment! Yes, I understand what you mean. Looking for references can take very long. And actually it takes me like 1h to find them all. But it's also helpful to archive them and reuse them for later projects. Therefore I made a file where I threw in all the cool clothing aestehtic or poses ^^ this might be a lot of work at first but it's absolutely worth it :)
Hi i love your videos so much and i watch them all the time and i was wondering if you could do a hand tutorial ❤
I struggle a lot on them and I couldn’t have but notice how good your hand are! And Ik this is a anatomy / pose tutorial but it would be cool if you could just show how you make hands or if you could show us how to use silhouettes but anyways amazing video i love the art style always makes me smile when you post and make sure to go easy and take breaks when needed and don’t force yourself to post i luv everyone reading this and ty for reading bye! ❤
Oh thank you, hands are actually a planned video^^ So hopefully I can release something like that soon :) And yes, breaks would be good but I can't afford them right now sadly. I will keep it in mind though, thanks for reminding me :)
Hi this video rlly helped me!! I’m studying how to do eyes and would like to see the techniques u use is it possible for ur next video to be a tutorial about eyes and how u render them? ^^
Hey! My eyes are so simple that I never thought of making a dedicated video for it but since I heard it quite a lot I might think about that. Thanks for letting me know ☺️
@@kurohshiro Yw and thank YOU for inspiring us all
I really like your style. Can you make a video about your art style?
Oh what would this be about? I quite don't understand what I could show there :)
I think it means, how do you change real world characters into anime ,such as eye style, clothes folds, body proportions, etc.
❤❤
Can you draw furina please i would really want to see her in your style! She's my fav character
Maybe there's a chance I can draw more Genshin characters but for now I am a bit burnt out from all the fanart I did for the game the past 3 years. But hopefully there's a way I can do this in the future :)
i absolutely love your art. where have you got those skills, like is that an university? or have you educated yourself?
Thank you! I am self-taught :)
Could you do a video on perspective?
I would love to do that but I am not able yet to master this. I am actually struggling with it and have to learn a lot. But when I figure it out I'll make sure to make a plan about it :)
Oh my god!!! Your art is so beautiful, Honestly, I can't render for my art and I don't know why 😥😥😥
Thanks for your comment! I made a video about rendering hair. thats actually the same method I use for all other parts as well such as skin, clothing etc. Maybe this helps? Overall the right amount of detail and contrast is key to a good rendering. Maybe I can make a dedicated video about this as well :)
@@kurohshiro I don't know how to thank you enough. Your contributions have helped a lot for people who don't have talent but still want to draw like me. You are like a senior, a teacher to me, I want to express my gratitude. Furthermore, my English is limited. I admire you very much and look forward to your upcoming videos. I hope you can help me how to render art because I can't make my paintings more beautiful if I don't. have your guidance.😭😭🙏
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! Could you maybe do a tutorial on painting shadows someday? It’s really difficult for me to find where to paint shadows&lights😭
Hey! I made a video called 'How I colour' there I explained how I shade as well but it's only a small part. So I will think of making a dedicated video of that topic!thanks for your suggestion 😌
@@kurohshiroThank you!! I’ll look forward to it. You helped me sm with my art journey🫶🏻
Thank you for the video, you give very good advice and your drawing style is simply divine, it’s just a pity that such a crooked artist like me, even taking your instructions into account, will ruin the drawing) I'll be looking forward to the next video
Ahw I don't think that's true. Sure, art takes time and there are so many frustrating things when it comes to drawing but the reward of making the 1 good artwork among tons of fails is absolutely worth it. Pls don't be so harsh on yourself, I am sure you're doing amazing :)
@@kurohshiro thank you very much, now I have even more motivation to draw better
i appreciate how you give beautiful men some love. most popular artists i know only draw women lol
Ahh actually I would love to draw more women haha 90% are men but maybe that's fine^^
You bring out the exact videos I need every single time. I love your content omg. I could watch it for hours without getting bored. Thank you so much 🥹
Aw that makes me happy to hear! Thank you so much for this sweet comment 😊
Maybe its silly qst but how u got those 3 lines in ur brush since i downoalded yours but still i dont have those 3 lines thx smh for all those tips btw
how do you make your cursor look like that its so cool
Sadly that's a display bug in my OBS. It's actually a round cursor which is displayed like that in the recording only :)
first>:3
How you change your cursor like that ?
How did you include the window where your piece is flipped?
u got my subscribe
i think for a noob like me method 2 is VERY more frindly
Oh I appreciate that! Thank you :) yes, it's easier to take a pose and modify it to your liking by changing small things ^^ I actually do this more than the first method since I draw what I like and not what character I have to draw if that makes sense 😅
Your brush is great but a bit difficult to use and I didn't think there would be a second mirror window vs a small window😢
What do you mean? You can make the second window when you go to: view - canvas - new canvas
and the brush is set to a smooth pressure curve, so I don't have to use much pressure to make it look opaque :)
Sketch/Line brushes are gone, where can I download them?
Hey can u post some video about body tutorial plz tnx
Hey! So you mean anatomy?
Hi there! I'm a newbie to clip studio paint / medibang. do you think I should not use any of the 3D models from clip studio paint? Do you think it would make my anatomy skill worse?
Hm..I think it's not wrong to use them but I fee pretty limited and frustrated when using them. It takes so much time getting them like you imagine and then I am always worrying that I will lose my initial idea. But some can make really good use out of them :) so look what feels comfortable to you!
I saw geto..im supposed to be sleep but I saw geto
So basically you copy a bit of lots of references so you get your own version?
how do you edit your cursor?
I didn't, OBS is weird when capturing my screen 😩 idk what's going on there
Thanks for the tutorial it really helps but honestly Im having a lot of trouble drawing woman can you make a in depth tutorial on how to draw girl I can draw guy not perfectly but fine but I can’t draw girls like at all😢
I am glad it was helpful :) what part of women is hard for you to draw? Maybe I can make a video on how I draw the human body, both male and female ^^
may i ask how to change the cursor! my cursor is always little round i want change as like yours thank for helps >
Sadly it's just a display bug of OBS studio (my recording software) so it actually doesn't look like that 😭
Go to "file, preferences", at the left side will be sum options, youll look into it til u find "cursors", then depending on what tool you want to change the cursor for, ur gonna set "specific tool" (or sum like that, im using it on other language), hope it helps!
how did you add those lines in your cursor?
It's a display bug of my recording software :)
@@kurohshiro that bug looks cool lmao
GEOTO OGIEOEOTO IGETI GEOOTO GETO
how long does your art take?
This depends on the level of details and how my mood is. Sometimes I am just in the flow and everything is easy but usually I start to struggle when it comes to the lineart. I spend ages with fixing mistakes. So between 14h to 50h
@@kurohshiro omg !. also, would u ever consider making a video using procreate? or a video using or downloading procreate brushes? i cant seem to find any good watercolor brushes
it looks so easy and then i remember i don't know anything about anatomy 😭
When the drawing is prettier than the reference demn XD hfksjsjjdkskks you draw them so good hfksjdsjkksndlsjsskdls
Ahh no no! But I appreciate your kind words a lot :3 thank you so much!
@@kurohshiro why no 😭🤣 it's a compliment! You should take it 😤✨🤣
how is your health? ☺️
Aw thanks for asking! I am doing okay, a lot of stress made me feel numb and sad but that's over more or less :)
1 hour early
you made things looks so easy , like bro tf . but jokes aside you are amazing i wonder how long it took you to get this far .
Ahhh well I was surprised I didn't end up crying while sketching lol usually this step takes the longest since it's so important to the overall outcome. I draw Anime since 2017 :) almost every day since end of 2019
