How to help with poses: Watch/read Jojo. It's almost physically impossible for characters to go 5 minutes without contorting glamorously or striking some kind of exotic yoga pose. Seriously. It helped me establish an upper limit of how far I could twist and stretch my characters before they started to look ridiculous.

Poses are so hard! I’m trying to do a picture of these two characters fighting and my main oc standing in the middle like “WTF!?” You helped me so much! Thanks!

@pollyhatchh Год назад

The biggest thing for me is if you are making a character that looks like it posing, making sure the character doesn’t look like it’s posing for a camera that is straight on from you, you could make it look like it’s posing for a camera that is kinda of to a side, it’s looks more interesting and less stiff❤

@mantisanarchy Год назад

Honestly, what helped me with poses and my art the most was getting into Jojo. At first it started as me recreating the poses the characters do in my drawings but then I realised that Araki uses a lot of fashion models as references, so ever since then I've been looking at pictures of models from fashion magazines like vogue for example. Definitely recommend trying it out :D

@bear2325 Год назад

I always get the urge to watch RU-vid around nighttime, but I’m always too exhausted to listen to my some of my favorite RU-vidrs because of their energetic/subtly chaotic energy. So, I always come to LavenderTowne’s channel because their voice is SO soft and calming! I also love their art style ☺️

@CrazyGreenFluff Год назад

at first, coming up with poses will be hard. but the more poses u draw the more you'll have in ur visual library, im at the point where i can draw more complex poses, but i just need a reference to make sure the anatomy is correct :0 also if u cant find a refernce for what u need, try combining multiple :) and a shoutout to lablablabla who's mentioned in every video because thats cool

@solareclipse1468 Год назад

The basic poses are really good for character sheets and laying out what you want your character to look like. I have only been drawing people for maybe 2 and a half years now and I am just now actually getting brave enough to draw characters and getting inspiration to do so ^^ Pinterest is a life saver

@Squiggishy Год назад

you have no idea how badly i needed this, ive been telling my friend recently that i struggle with improving my art because of exactly this, but googling how to do other poses and stuff just frustrates me, so the way youre kind, soft and actually really helpful about it makes me really happy, so thank you so much

@LincolnDWard Год назад

I feel like the absolute most important thing here is "give your character something to do." I think a lot of times we get caught somewhere between "I'm showing off my character" and "I'm trying to do good art" and end up just drawing a person standing awkwardly in some sort of colored void. But the thing is, at no point in our lives are we just _standing there_ - we're always either doing something, waiting for something, or hanging out (actively trying to relax or connect with others, which is still doing something). Think through what your character is doing and thinking at this moment, how each part of their body feels, and how they see themselves in relation to their surroundings - and _draw that._

something i do is like find a pose i like, draw over it with basic shapes so i can understand how it looks, and use those basic shapes as a reference to draw it myself

I’ve been seeing the bear trap hood character and some of the other ones, especially from your OC video (the healer and the cutsie one with sharp pig tails) and I really wanna see their story and world, I can’t be the only one

@seoteltrut Год назад

I know with me, one of the hardest things about poses is having the pose vibe with the character. Especially if its a low energy, or introverted character. Most of the ways a pose is made interesting is by giving it energy and making it dynamic, which typically doesnt work well for those types of characters.

@HazardusHavard Год назад

While I've heard other artists bring some of these up, in some form or another, that music video one is a new one for me. A lot of those videos bring out such odd and exaggerated poses, they kind of have to as a way to grab a viewers attention to their own work. To think about using those for your own artwork, that is an incredibly smart to do, I'm definitely going to snag that idea for my own stuff.

@Fiercestar Год назад

@solareclipse1468 Год назад

I recently spend an unreal amount of time on a art peace I am kinda proud of. The character is my friends character, and I have them sitting cris cross with one arm dramatically resting on their leg with the other propping up their head kinda resting. The character definitely breaks the 4th wall and them smirking and staring into your soul works for them which was amazing because yes

@Sunnystardust09 Год назад

In the thumbnail, I wouldn't say "fixed." To me, "improved" would be a better fit for this video because it's a advice on how to make your art better and a not a video where you directly take someone's art and change things about it to demonstrate that advice. Other than that, great video! These tips will help me a lot in the future. c:

@Colamancy Год назад

I honestly struggle with poses a lot. So for me, when I get stuck trying to make a pose, I refer to a digital "Puppet" I made. Essentially, I can move the limbs and joints around while keeping everything connected until I find a pose I like. That way, I can use the pose I made as a reference. Though, it does feel like a weird process, to make a model of the character to move around before even making the piece it's for.

@queenthot1438 Год назад

i tend to draw the same pose for my characters every time i make a warm up sketch. i know it’s a bland pose and it’s basic, but it helps me get in the zone. it’s similar to the 3/4 bust pose talked about in the beginning, but the characters back is to the viewer and the characters is either looking over their shoulder towards the viewer or facing forward with the back of the head towards the viewer. it’s my favorite pose to warm up with because it’s so easy and simple but it’s too basic and boring to make actual art pieces with lol

@slide0549 Год назад

so many people say to draw feet up, but I think I tried that once and the proportions were all out of whack, and if I did it again, same would probably happen. the head is a better point of reference than the feet and you could draw curves for the spine and legs and occasionally arms.
