What is the most difficult angle to draw of a character in your opinion?

[realSean_Murphy]

Or another way to rephrase it as, what is the hardest camera angle for you to draw of a character?
I find it difficult to draw a character as the the camera is on the ground looking up towards the character, so you see there legs much closer and their head is much smaller in contrast. (Especially if you try drawing from the head down, this can make it more difficult.)

[Doubtcent]

Any angle. If it needs to be done properly. Foreshortening, bird's eye, worm's eye, portrait, everything's hard.

[joannekwan]

I hate worm's eye! Or any angle where you're looking up a person's face. > <

[Doubtcent]

Maybe it would be better if I had a mirror and one of those poseable art figures... for reference.

[realSean_Murphy]

Yeah, basically that's the hardest thing for me.

[Chopythes]

I was gonna write the same thing!
Like, it's unbelievably difficult to draw something from that angle without it looking crooked. And that's even when using reference D:

[UzukiCheverie]

I find top-down from an aerial perspective (bird's eye view) to be the trickiest IMO I can do it, but I often have to re-sketch things and fix proportions a lot more than I would for any other angle. Same as bottom-up (bug view), but I don't use that one as often.

[Tentakustar]

usually a downwards angle where the body appears smaller and out of portion. I sometimes try to practice drawing it since I know I struggle with that angle lol

[60Six]

I'm not fantastic at top-down angles, but I can manage. I'm with Joannekwan... Worm's eye murders my art every time. x__x

[VermillionWorks]

A "from the back" profile. Ugh. XO

[AffectedMind]

Really? Because I learned a bit from you how to draw them x'D

[jmhenry]

Either bird or worm's eye view. They're not the toughest to draw if you plan well, but it's getting it right that always bothers me. Something always winds up being off about them...

[phen]

@vincentprendick, your brutal honesty is hysterical -- "any angle" indeed! I always really hate planning them but then actually going through with the drawing, issues resolve themselves. Not all of them, of course! But upon approaching and following through with a difficult angle, you always get something from the exercise. "Oh... the chin's shaped like this from the bottom!" "So that's how the arm bends, aa." "You can't even see a nose from this position, perfect!

It's a fun little math puzzle everytime, hah^^

[VermillionWorks]

O__o Well, I think I've gotten a little better at them recently...but my earlier chapters...gehh, lets just say I've been meaning to go back and edit them a little. >.<;; That and I still find the angle difficult.

[jacintawibowo]

Yeah definitely the angle from the bottom looking up! The bit where the nose and eyes meet is frustrating! Also the chin.
I think for me a back 3/4 view of someone's head with their mouth open is very difficult =P

[neonmeres]

From the bottom up specially when I'm trying to do an action scene. The foreshortening go all over the place. This video on YouTube has helped me a bit tackle this issue. Hope it can do the some for some of you here. Check it out if you can:

Looking up at a person's face from below, so that you are forced to draw the underside of their chin. WHY IS THIS SO HARD? D:

Bird's-eye views are difficult too, but not nearly as tricky as the bug's eye view from below.

[Mharz]

Bird's eye view and any poses that has a body part hidden (foreshortening)

[Damatris]

Worm's eye is so hard to do. ;__; Bird's eye can also be really tricky. And both are even bigger pain in the neck when they get really steep. And if the pose is hard too... dies

[SpavVy]

Worms eye view is my arch nemesis, usually if I'm having trouble with a pose or angle I to go to my design doll or manga studio 3D models, pose them then print them out and just use them as reference.
