SO ANATOMY STUFF
Today I'm going to be talking about structure and/or anatomy.
Now, before you say or think it, I KNOW everyone told you to "study anatomy" before you start drawing. Yes, I KNOW you don't want to and think it's unnecessary. I couldn't agree more. After all, what art IS issquandering your life, broke and alone on the street, but still creating the most beautiful masterpieces that no one acknowledges until you're long dead creating your OWN structures and shaping the human body the way YOU see it.
But I still advise you to, at least before you get good (not that I'm saying you're not), look at the human muscles. and body. I'm not saying study, because I feel that that is a very wrong way of putting it (Art is art, not school) but at least figure out how everything is relative.
Now you only have to do this until you look at people and admire the way they hold themselves when they stir pasta or you watch someone cry and think about drawing that expression. That's when you know you've got it.
Or, I could be wrong, and that's just something I do and I'm too full of myself XD.
Of course I'm kidding and I really do believe that's the point when you transition into someone who likes to draw people and a human artist.
(human artist? figure drawer? life creater? no, that sounds too much like a deity. oh, well. guess I'll never come up with a good name for Someone Who Draws People™)
Oh! And a little piece of useless advice (that's the only kind of advice I like to give) (JK): If you draw Disney Princesses you will get followers on social media
Toodloo! (Nope, still not a good outro in sight)
