Designing a great character is one thing. But making sure you can quickly draw it again and again is another!
A key part of drawing comics with your own characters... or re-drawing your favourite fan art... is knowing how to sketch in the figure with all the special elements that make up the character.
Often we need to both quickly pose and get the proportions right... but also know that all of the important elements of clothing and accessories are there too.
The character is made up from their base anatomy.. what they wear and how they hold themselves. So sketching all three at the same time is key.
In this video I go over some tips and advice for how to do this. And demonstrate what it looks like based on some of the comic characters I have had to draw over and over again.

Once you get good at blocking in proportion and posing with the Loomis Method you can use it to suit your own style.
It's just a tool you can use to help you draw cool stuff!
Happy Drawing!
