I don't understand men's hips. The body narrows down in a V, and then there are these paddle-thingys, and then additional mound-thingys before the torso hits the thigh.
Okay, I hope that doesn't sound too horribly insulting, but I have no idea what the hell is going on down there. I know a lot of people say the opposite, but drawing men has always been incredibly harder for me than drawing women. Not only are the landmarks for women more familiar, but they seem to be a lot more obvious.
I think I'm gonna make all the sprites 768 x 1024. I hope that's good enough for the res I'll be using: 1280 x 720.
Redoing all the artwork, yeeargh. I have to fix the main character. After I rotated his head, all the pixels degraded significantly so I am retracing him. As well as making him topless, which I should have done first, instead of now. Oh well...lesson learned!
Random guy I drew...experimenting with styles and basic coloring techniques.
Note his hand was supposed to be out of his pocket...but I gave up and shoved it in his jeans. POCKETS, HOW I LOVE YOU.
Drawing men can be confusing but I've drawn females so much that drawing them is getting boring. I'm starting to seriously sit down and study the male body. I look at photos, tutorials, and ask a few friends (who are majoring in art) advice on my drawings. I still have a long way to go but the advice really helps.
ReplyDeleteYou should see my tumblr...it's full of male bodies that I use as reference.
ReplyDeleteSeriously just looks like a lot of gay porn. Wait...it IS a lot of gay porn! :0)
