Again, because people ask me about this kind of thing.
My first drawing book was about superheroes, and it talked about the "how many heads tall" a character should be thing. I remember poring over graph paper, trying so hard to get it right, and what was my biggest problem with anatomy over the years? Arm length in relation to the body.
Figures, right? So that's why this talks about how long the arm should be and not about heads.
I haven't got the Mr. Sticks one ready yet, but there is one important thing people need to know about my version of him: the shapes are based on masses of muscle as well as bone.
Yes, I talk about boobs a lot in this one. It's a pet peeve of mine; it has been since middle school when all the boys were showing me pictures of what they thought were naked women, trying to get me riled up, and the breasts were almost uniformly drawn as a pair of circles with dots in the centers.
My response was always "Boobs don't look like that." And then I'd get a sour and dissappointed "How do YOU know?" and it was like "I wear a BRA, how do you THINK?"
These things take a long time to load into the file space.
Thanks for the tutorial. The tips on male and female differences are great too. XD Yeah, I've been drawing at school when I've either gotten the comment, "The boobs should be bigger!" or "Hey, how do you draw the boobs?"
XD Yush... well, I call him/her/it/whatever "Mannequin" ... yes.. its because of those wood figures that you can sketch to help with pose... ^^ I have one... and so that is why I call them Mannequins!
Yes... most guys still do... in anime art... Looks freaking scary to me... god... I mean... what is it with guys and breasts? O.o Wait!! I AM a guy... what is the answer? I mean.. girls are attractive... but... I don't understand why one should be OBSESSED about the breasts... ah.. well, some do some don't... personally ... well... I'll keep my "what I find attractive" to myself... I am sure you don't want to hear that!
Hmm... When I was in sixth and seventh grades (perhaps eighth, don't remember exactly the time frame), I remember an art teacher saying that people were five and a half heads tall. So, I'd draw a person, then go back and see that they were eight heads tall, and then try to make them five and a half. And then they'd look fat. ^_^" I think most of my drawings have around six heads, now. I remember seeing one or more of my older pictures awhile ago, and seeing how long the people looked. I may have gotten some of them into nine or ten heads... Hmm... I've been going by upper and lower arms being a head, elbow and waist lining up, hands being a head, and upper and lower legs being something like one and a half heads. But I almost never come up with a full-body picture that I like, so I must be doing something wrong... (Maybe I'm just giving up before it's finished, though... ^_^" )
