literally my life is pointless. its thursday tomorrow 

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

I love how dynamic and fluid your drawings always look!! Do you have any tips on how to make them look more flowy and natural as rlly struggle with trying to make them loose less stiff? 💙

Thank you!!! :D

So how I learned how to draw fluid poses was doing gesture drawings! And figuring out how to make the pose fluid

Gesture drawing is all about getting and focusing on the movement of the pose rather than the anatomy

And a good way to start recognizing the movement of the pose is the ‘Line of Action’

And it’s best for the line of action to also determine the weight of the character

So for example:

And now we got the line of action next up is well drawing the pose

I always start off with drawing the torso so you’ll get an idea of exactly where you want the head to go but weather you start with the head or torso is up to you!

With getting fluid poses it’s important to draw loosely! So no slowly going to make sure each line is correct. That’s how stiffness can happen! I draw the body using straights and curves to draw out these shapes for the body! Because to every straight on one side of the pose there’s a curve on the other!

So for example for this pose there’s a straight along the back. I still like to even curve the straights because there’s no actual perfectly straights anywhere

And then the curve! Like I said before to each straight there’s a curve on the other side

And then the limbs!

Again curves

they’re everywhere

So now that we have an idea on how the pose movement is doing time to actually draw it

Starting with line of action!

Then the torso bean

Then legs

Arms and head

And finally details and using your knowledge of anatomy and where the straights and curves go to finish it up!

To get better at gesture drawing and drawing fluid poses is also all about practice because I assure you when I started trying this out a couple years ago I wasn’t good at it! So it’s also about building that muscle memory which is where the practice and trying this out with different poses will help!!

And a good website I like to go to for practicing with poses is a website called

https://line-of-action.com

Here you can look at poses for body’s, hands and feet, animals, and profiles and expresssions! And for the body poses you can ask them for nude or clothed models and the models have a large range of diversity instead of attractive white person #47

I think kids with ADHD and ASD have a special relationship to swingsets as compared to other playground activities, just because of the leg motions. I went to an old park today and just swung for twenty minutes because the pumping you have to do to actually swing is a very, very nice stim.
