    So real talk, I remember meeting back at Heroes Con, in 97. I had your Ascension books and loved your art. I remember asking you how long you had been drawing, your response was 3 years. And I thought I had asked wrong, and I said "No, not for Image, how long have you been doing art." You looked at me and said, "Three years." Still blown away to this day.

    @gubjorgm.2259 2 роки тому

    This helped me so much! All tutorials I have found aren't advanced enough for me. I want to get better at action scenes because I want to make an action comic, but the movements were just never what I wanted. I like when it feels alive and is flowy. I'm about to graduate art school soon so I already have a good grip on anatomy and movement and stuff like that, but not action. All the other tutorials where either covering the basics or just felt too stiff for what I wanted. Sure I knew all the rules but I am a visual learner. So seeing this with the intend for a comic and the base sketch easily translating to my style was perfect! It was also nice seeing you do multiple angles and sometimes slightly bending the rules of anatomy. I know by now that you are allowed to do that because it gives better movement, but I didn't know when to bend it to get what I want. But I think this helps. Thanks!

    I've been following along but not really watching, and I've only managed one sketch in about twelve minutes. Didn't look up for the last two minutes, and then... I look up and see I'm sketching the EXACT same kicking pose, but with the kicker's torso torqued further into the spin of the kick. I just erased the rear arm to hide it behind the body.
    This coincidence alone has vastly improved my will to draw again. It's been hard getting back into the act after all this time! Thank you so much for this video, and all the helpful tips and analyses that you crammed into it.
    EDIT: omg the next thing you drew was a sack of potatoes. I drew my character kicking a punching bag. It was the same shape, but mirrored horizontally. Basics of action! Maybe I've retained more knowledge than I thought?

  • @Grim_Grim.

    Quick one from me. When drawing a character it can really add to the story telling if the opponents don't act properly to a punch, if you wanna portray the villain as stronger or the mc as inexperienced and stiff.
    It works grate to show whose most powerful
