More Anatomy Releated Stuff - Tumblr Posts

(not the same anatomy anon), how do you go about gesture? head first, then gesture? proportions?

what we learned is to do the hips first, then the torso/spine, then work your way down and out, then the head, because starting with the head first may set you up for wonky proportions. Also, starting with the hips/spine curve lets you get a better sense of movement and flow with your gesture.

HOWEVER I always started with the head lmao it was way harder to start with the hips for me. My teacher never seemed to notice though so I kept my bad habit woops kids dont be like me.

But It’s also because I always started with the head in my drawings since I was a kiddo. It’s a learned habit I have and it’s really. really hard to undo like 10+ years of how you’ve drawn in a few classes.
