Drawing FAQ!

[Bo Gilliam]

I started this thread to help some people who wants to start drawing or have some diificulties in some area of the body. I'll just help in drawing people. It won't include cities and landscapes design, OK. Just human or human-like drawing! If you have abilities to du such things, post here some some help for us!

Here's A model sheet of Woman's body, Nina 2, for take for base.

In the Hands Model sheet, take a look in how differents are men and women hands. It seems to be logic, but you need to really pay attention to make a woman's hand feminine and a man's hand masculine. Unless the man is in shoujo style and the woman is muscled.

I hope I could help. Post here your questions and I'll make the possible to help you. If anybody here can help, your help will be very useful.

Hands!!! Those are so difficult. I like the little comments you used, too. ^__^

[Bo Gilliam]

If you have difficulties in hands(a very normal problem), I'll make more hand model sheets and how to make different hands like Rei or Bo's hands and a giant hand, like Garr or Rand's. Ask whatever you want.

[Nina Windia ♦]

[Rick ♦]

This thread should definitely come in handy for myself. I'm gonna keep an eye on this baby.

[Chris-chris]

hi Bo do you think you could put also a boy model sheet too!

[Raftrider]

Great idea, Bo! Love the doodles on the sides of the instructions! The method I use to draw males is pretty useful. My main problem areas are drawing females and certain muscles of the body..

Sorry people to be so lazy and do not post here...But, here is more help for you!

I made more hands, teaching how to make hands like Rei's and Garr's. Their hands can be used in any characters who the hands fit. Example: Rei's hands can be used in Bo's hands and Garr's hands can be used in Rand's.

hi Bo do you think you could put also a boy model sheet too!

Sure! Here it is! Ryu 2 model sheet to take a base for men body. Raftrider could take a careful look in Ryu's muscles, get this model sheet as base for your trainings, OK?

Something important to say. These model sheets are not made to you to have the same style as mine. My real intention is to help you to create and improve your own STYLE! I'm sure, when you ahve your own style, different of anyone else's, you'll enjoy very much drawing!

And copy another drawer you like. For example, I love Kuniko Itou's style(Sailor Moon TV Series Character Design) and I used to copy her. Got it? Copy without shame and Good Luck!!

Don't worry about me copying styles....

Thanks for the help! How well do you draw wings?

[Bo Gilliam]

How well do you draw wings?

Here an angel/demon wings sheet. I hope it helps at least a little.

[Raftrider]

Sweet. This'll work as a great reference!

[Nina Windia ♦]

can't wait to lesson number 3 ^__^

[Bleu Aya]

Thanks. I can always use another tutorial since I still have a tough time drawing full bodies since I always get the legs too short,or the overall body unbalanced.

[Bo Gilliam]

Please, feel free to ask anything you want and to take those sheets as a base for your drawings.

If you want some commentaries about your drawing, you can post here your sketches and we will debate about it. But, just if you feel it is right, OK?
