Breaking Down Video Game Anatomy

Proko course: www.proko.com/s/FLC2?af=543975
www.amazon.com/Figure-Drawing...
In this lesson, we dove into Abby's evolution in "The Last of Us Part II," examining her life's stages
through drawing. We began with her strong, stable pose, moved to a carefree, youthful stance, and ended with her tired, weakened state. By focusing on gesture, weight, and silhouette, we explored how Abby's physical changes reflect her emotional shift from seeking revenge to becoming more vulnerable. This method boosts character development and storytelling in visual art.

This is very interesting, you should do the evolution of character designs more often.

This was honestly a banger of a video man. I love how you explained the nuances between each stage of her character and how it reflects through her anatomy. Great stuff

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

[@LegoTankGirl]

abby is one of my favorite female characters in any piece of media. its so nice to see you talk about all the wonderful bits of her character design as well as representing muscular women. a lot of male artists have no idea what we look like lol

What class was this from? Fantastic breakdowns!

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Thank you! The FIG1 course @ Brainstorm 😊

[@danielgillespie6689]

The course you've done on Proko, is it suitable for a beginner to drawing? Considering purchasing it.

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

I think so. I approach it from the perspective of how foundation practices lead to a better understanding of figure construction.

@@stevenmichaelhampton Ideal, I'll check it out. Feel like I really need some structure to help me focus. Thanks 🙂

[@voltjmgaming2119]

Would you say most video game anatomy proportions are correct?

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Not necessarily but that doesn't mean they're wrong. If something is intentionally stylized it doesn't mean that it's incorrect.

Women can have muscles, short hair, wear dark baggy cloths without being labeled trans. It’s getting really ridiculous! I’m so thankful I was a teen growing up in the 90’s because they may of said I wanted to be a boy and put me on puberty blockers just because I liked my hair short, was very athletic, and wore baggy cloths. Let’s stop this!
