Hi! How are you :3 I’ve got an ask! Do you draw poses with construction? Or what’s your method? How do you tackle difficult poses?

(I hope that’s an interesting ask 🫣)

Hi !!!! I'm doing well thank u thank u <333

this IS an interesting ask but i apologize in advance because i am about to say so many words with a minimal chance of them making sense bc frankly i just..,, don't have a good method orz ,, it's a bit sad dsgghd like yes I'm largely self-taught but fr someone who has been drawing their entire life my fundamentals r honestly awful most of everything i do boils down 2 me winging it and praying tht it works out

to start off ! one thing abt me is i do not tackle difficult poses difficult poses tackle Me and i have 2 fight for my fucking life every gd time :( real talk tho poses n figures have always been one of the harder elements of drawing for me because i'm coming to realize i kind of struggle with visualizing ? I really need to have something already in front of me and shape it from there but the thing abt the human body is it can look and pose SO many different ways. that being said usually i start with the messiest human-shaped scribble you've ever seen in your life and play around with the limbs until i have a ~vague~ idea of the pose i want to go for. with my rough sketches i rely very heavily on the torso/shoulders/neck as a way to ground the pose because that's the part of the body I'm most familiar with :'> once i've got the chest i can usually wrestle the rest of the body to cooperate, though how long and arduous a task that ends up being depends on th overall complexity. action poses my beloathed </3 With them i just Look and Guess and Pray

circling back to the limited visualization element. i collect refs like a magpie with trinkets i've got a novel-length anatomy folder on pinterest bc i just ! don't know what most things look like unless I'm looking at them :( it balances out a bit though because a skill of mine is I'm very good at (fr lack of a better word) copying what i see? all i mean by that is i usually don't need 2 bother with using grids or breaking things down into shapes since I can pretty easily translate what i see onto the page n manipulate it to fit the piece as needed

anYWAY im getting sidetracked gomen gomen i knew this wld happen but ! tl;dr if i had to put an order to my process it wld b

scribble something resembling a human in something resembling a pose

map the neck shoulders n torso as a jumping-off point

spend 300 hours looking through arm and leg angle refs and try to frankenstein something together from the ones i can find at the Correct Angle

bonus: undo all my hard work and/or hide the parts im not confident in by putting clothes on it

hope u could get something (if anything) out of this !!!

Hello im doing well !!! sorry for getting to this late i was at the groshy store :>

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

I've been told im good with my hands

23. Do you use different layer modes

where would any of us be without layer modes honestly gfhjsdgf my lines are on multiply 98.9% of the time and my grainy texture overlay is on. well . overlay. and those 2 layer modes r at the top of S tier imo but i also love u add and add (glow) i love u soft light i love you screen <3 <3 <3 fr layer modes add so much flavour sometimes u just gotta go down the list and see what looks good

30. (another) piece of yours you think is underrated

already answered but i'll pick another one n promote the redesign i did of my boy shiro bc no amount of attention will ever satisfy me when it comes to my ocs

weirdly specific artist ask game !

HI OMG TY im so happy u like my little corner <3 i'll be honest i am tech illiterate so I unfortunately don't think i'm the best person to ask for recommendations :'))) my monitor is nothing special either it's just an LG hand me down that i rly only use so i can have tumblr open and get sidetracked
