@Breeze.Hill OMG I didn’t know anyone else did that. During my practice sketching for the farmyard funnies or any other of my comic ideas, I always end up putting someone in a Spider-Man or Woman costume. I guess it’s because the Spiderverse characters always find themselves in like every single kind of pose you can think of due to the nature of their powers.

It's dangerous and uncomfortable, but pays well with very short training duration considered... say goodbye to beautiful hair though :laughing:

I played a show with my rockabilly band 2,5 hours from my place and in the town
where my mum grew up. I went to the hotel early and read a comic. I bought
the comic on ebay 2 days before and the seller didn´t mention that it was in
french and I don´t speak french. So I read it in french and tried to imagine
what they say

My husband ditched me to Door Dash (they were paying bank around here for the holiday). :joy: I didn't mind. I did my editing for the day, read a bunch of comics, and studied writing and editing... Does it make you a boring person to enjoy editing more than going out? :sweat_smile:

Google translate! I do that with my Korean novels all the time. :joy: The grammar is horrible, but you're not totally wondering what the heck they are saying. :joy:

Seeing as how I'm just as single as a pringle, I kinda just did my normal day-to-day. Though treating myself this weekend to some much needed leisure time.

Also made some valentine's themes illustrations.

One wholesome piece:

And one a bit more naughty haha

Is it wrong that I kinda like the last one more than the first two? :joy::joy::joy: @KevinReijnders they’re definitely a cute couple.

I pretty much tired myself making a bajillion heart cakes at work :dizzy_face:
I think heart shaped cakes are a new social media trend, so it's definitely not the end of it.

Thanks for the advice :slight_smile:
I have the scanned version of the english original on my computer and
I bought the comic because I wanted to own it as a printed version.
You don´t get the comic in english for under 130€, probably 150$
I´ll maybe print out the speech bubbles from the scanned version
:smiley:

@BellaTheCow

Haha, no that's definitely not wrong :laughing:

Tbh I kinda like that one a bit more as well. It has a more dynamic camera angle, I personally think it's funny and it matches their personalities a bit better than the other set.

At least that's why I like it better, maybe you just like things a tad more spicy hahaha 🤣

do you mean cakes like this? @ButterflyEmpress

Tbh this looks so yummy, I might end up binging on them like I did the chocolates (again, I am NOT eating much chocolate for the next three months so you could imagine what’s gonna go down with myself and these cakes 🤣).

Actually, it’s both. :laughing: I always am up for a little spice and I am finding preference in the camera angle. Also, I mean, respect man🫡 I find it SUPER hard to draw people at a unique angle. Of course, practice builds skill, so I’m sketching with 3d models when I can to try to get better at dynamic angling (which is when I usually employ spider-man/woman costumes in my drawings as I’ve said to Kittykir1129). Do you have any tips on how to get better at dynamic poses? @KevinReijnders

Oh thank you so much. Yeah I have been doing this for quite some time now, over a decade as a professional even.

There is off course the age old adage of üse a reference but I didn't use one for this haha.

No, my real tip would be to break down your figures, whether human, animal or otherwise, into simple shapes. Cubes, boxes, spheres, cylinders. Those are a lot easier to draw in perspective than a full human body.

I didn't do anything for valentines actually, but I am fine with that.

@KevinReijnders ok I see, yeah I’ve heard of that method here and there just been a little apprehensive to try it, seeing as I feel I must become more familiar with the anatomy of plant/animals/humans, but Ill see about giving it a go more often in my drawings, it definitely makes sense so it’ll probably improve my work even more. Tysm for taking the time to share this tip with me. :pray:

Well to be fair it all goes hand in hand. The better you understand anatomy, the better you'll be at simplifying a figure. But also, the better you can break down a figure into simplified shapes, the easier you'll be able to understand anatomy.
