Thank you, I tried to come up with a super simple way to draw the torso and to get the proportions right
because that´s something I struggled with a lot when I tried to learn how to draw.
I don´t know if kids in other countries also play that drawing game, in germany it´s called "Das Haus vom Nikolaus"
Santa Claus house. Every kid knows it, you connect the lines without stoping and try to draw the house.
And that´s what my figure drawing technique is based on. 2 times the house without a roof.
The advantage of that is that every kid is familiar with it and I don´t have to tell them to draw squares or
something abstract like that

Thank you so much!! (I only just saw your message. New notifications )
@DelythThomasArt I love your horse dinosaurs!! Such a cool concept!
@tarraxahum I love how much each character stands out in the new version!
@rumpenstiltzkin Really love the hair swish on your mermaid animation. It's so cute!
@Calculus_Homework All of your sketches have such a good grasp on anatomy!
Sketching this out was a lot more of a challenge than I bargained for, but I think I got it to a point where it looks decent.
I don´t have much time for sketching and drawing right now because I´m color flatting illustrations for a book
right now. It´s a pretty good and easy job, it´s just super exhausting and it´s really hard for me to imagine
how people are able to do that for 8-10 hours a day.
And here is a quick sketch, I made a copy of a panel of a cartoon I saw online
@Calculus_Homework and you are rocking those character sheets!
@thepenmonster All metal build for art that's all metal!
@allenT Hey there, markers and fresh pencils! Those are looking seriously, seriously great- Love the weasel!
@Kelheor Sweet hugs!
@sartinjacqueline05 "Sassy baby"
@Lensing Agreed, I don't know how anyone can craw for 8 hours a day. That copy of a cartoon panel looks pretty great! I love the staging/action here
@bulgariansumo Watch your step! Really love the intensity of your lines and how appealing these characters are.
@Lunar-Turtle I would like to have your character on the right's star hoodie (as well as their disposition). Super cute.
@EncryptedWriting That update is clean and powerful.
@thepenmonster Pig hiding behind a column? Is this a governmental pork-cutting joke? Am I... a geezer if I got that?
@Headypigeon4180 have a feeling they'll make their own magic.
@amilcardraws Dang, look at that layout! I'm also getting really strong Comic-Zone™ vibes from that dude.
@simonitropunk Yeah foreshortening! There's some really nice movement here!
@bronte448 This pompom must be protected as much (if not mores) than the actual bees. One pollinates life, the other pollinates dreams.

Okay, not a sketch, but a new piece of my process.
I'm working on pitching a series and dividing the various steps up on the cork board to keep myself motivated and organized.
First note on the board, reminding myself to breathe and enjoy the process. I don't suck. If I feel I do, I should just play music for a little while until I can turn it around (and then get back to work).
@Legendofgenii he's so precious but I see what you mean xD
@DanielRKM ah damn, that's a good note! So right. Best of luck with pitching!
I am kinda doing stuff but also kinda not because I am at low point, so I am also trying to make myself a bit happier
@Legendofgenii Legs are always awkward but these look really good to me
@DanielRKM I love new processes, I have tor write stuff down all the time lol
@Kelheor Always HANDS! I feel it. Gotta do what ya gotta do.
Good evening my sketching friends.
I had my first day as a drawing teacher.
The kids are great, they are crazy and funny, a lot of imagination.
We drew comics right away and filled some pages.
Tomorrow I will show them how to sketch with a pencil and
we´ll do this little drawing game with a sketch of a figure,
one kid draws a head, the next one draws the torso, the next
one the legs. That way I´ll teach them basic anatomy without
making it too boring
I had to create a new dress for Betha-busa during the Alliance Earth crew arrival and Meet 'n Greet! I took the sketches pictures with my iphone. I apologize for the horrific shadows!
This pic of her below was done way before I even thought of Betha-busa. It must've been subconscious because I ended up using this design just now for that special event in "The Watchman."
And this is one of the friend of Teeabu, Prince Meintein characatures!
@Lensing That’s sounds fun. They’ll love that.
Thank you @LCT_m_a_d
There is one thing that I realised in the comic class yesterday.
Kids love violence!
30% of the comics that they drew were really violent. Some started harmless
with a snowman, in the second panel the snowman already killed someone,
third panel the snowman had a cut off head on his pitchfork.
I think I loved stuff like that too when I was a kid.
Nowadays I love drawing people hugging and kissing each other
