1. Ik this is a late night post. Maybe you can‘t sleep, your off work, on break, you wanted something to read before bed, you got inspired to draw at the moment — whatever the case is.. thank you for your patience and welcome to the MONTH ON AUG. ( baby its 11:06pm atm here, WI)

Okay if you aren’t aware— 2 out of the 3 stickers were stolen. So I’m working with the company right now to see what can be done.

I cried like a baby but, I will say I’m practicing ways to cope and learn how to use my emotion in a more resourceful manner. So, good practice I guess ( lol my version of trying to find the best out of the situation). But as of now— we’ll be looking into a PO Box and a more in-House organization. Also I’m Jobless. I‘ll celebrate a bit later— but lets get started.

*Mini reminder: These are not tutorials but guides and examples of how to combat or discover a new perspective of drawing.*—

What you’re looking at…

So, looking at the example above — my appoarch to drawing legs sometimes consist of thinking about Dolls. So how my logic works, our main goal is to breakdown art in a simple enough form where you could replicate that specific form and build for there.

So for a better example, there’s this episode of SpongeBob where he decides to take a community art class and to his surprise, he was fortunate enough to have squidward as his teacher( despite the fact that, for squidward this was a real life nightmare he couldn’t escape ). The First lesson of the day was how to draw a circle. Assuming that SpongeBob lack any skill in the arts, squidward with his surprised pikachu face, couldn’t believe that SpongeBob drew a perfect circle. Needing to know how, he proceeds to ask him to demonstrate exactly how he drew the “perfect“ circle. I‘m hoping at this point you would know how this part goes, but just in case, he started with a very detailed sketch and goes step by step to his best ability.

Sadly, this being a perfect example of how most tutorials are and an even more accurate performance, if giving a chance, of me giving a tutorial. However, using this as an example— I find it easier to examine the body (using my hyperphantasia ), analysis my reference and model (like a 3D render model. As I rotate and imagine my model. I slowly break the body down using basic anatomy and finding similar ways to breakdown this reference.

So here’s another examples of what things typically look like for me when I say I analysis my model and ref. in my head. Now, there are apps and other options for individual that have aphantasia ( The opposite of hyperpahntasis| the ability to display images mentally using your head)— like this app. This app is on the App Store and is called, MagicPoser.

Quick Reminder

NEW Update this week for the monthly SketchModel. Along with gifs and other concept art pieces And etc. so head over now for the first GIF.

The next post and update on the this concept commit soon.

Continuing— SpongeBob Ref.

So using my basic Anatomy, I’m able to remember certain placements and get creative. I will sometimes use shapes or other existing objects to create the image I draw. But today we’ll focus on the legs.

Having these vivid images while, being able to dissect my model and use my imagination to help me draw — I’ve managed to get in a habit and form muscle Memory when trying to draw.

TODAYS EXAMPLES| The existing object for when I draw legs, is the structure of a dolls leg. Some doll Legs consist of a ball joint and the two addtional pieces that make up the legs (some having joint points from the ankle, knee and thigh). Knowing this I’m able to imagine the doll leg and break it down once more in to simpler shapes like the spheres, cylinders, and etc above. This is where I would start drawing and going over the breakdown, I just went over in my head. Starting off with my most basic forms of the 3D shapes I identified and that’s my first layer. I would next continue, once again, going thorough the art breakdown in my head and go layer by layer, adjusting mentally and doing drawings. I’m like my own personal computer. Lol.
