I love this reconstruction. Her expression is so sweet and the details like the body hair are stunning. I adore her playful pose too, like she’s interacting with others. I think a lot of hominid portrayals forget to show the social nature of humans outside of violence/conflict
@hallojisoo a fandom exist because there are people to consume content! u are just as important! all the works will be meaningless if there's no one to read, view and comment on them! 🤧❤ u dont bake a large cake just to eat it yourself right?
When our instructors at Krenz Artwork Academy practice from photo reference, they work in four different ways.
1. Straight extraction, normal proportions.
Read the gesture, the shape characteristics, the height and build of the figure. Then get it down as it is.
2. Change the camera angle.
Set up a space seen at eye level, turned 45 degrees, and draw a box with 2x2x4 proportions inside it. Rebuild the pose in that space, working from where the joints sit: shoulders, knees, the coordinates that hold the figure together. Turn the box and the figure inside turns with it. This is where perspective boxes do the work.
3. Same angle, different camera distance and focal length.
A mid-range shot and a wide-angle shot give you two very different images. This one is harder to control.
4. Extract the gesture, change the proportions.
Push it toward an American comics build, or toward chibi proportions.
One and four are flat translation. Two and three are spatial thinking. They ask for different skills.
Think about your own practice for a moment. If you only train flat thinking, copying goes fine, but the pose stops being editable the moment you work without reference. If you only train perspective, space, and boxed figures, your grasp of shape falls behind and the drawing comes out stiff.
Both sides need the work. That is how a drawing ends up with correct perspective and rhythm at the same time.
@kai3yi4@Honkadoi this particular image is from a no lineart allowed brainstorm sesh. i was looking at various objects on pintrest and making characters based on them. (the character "marble" was inspired by.. well, marbles.)
basically, to practice like this, hone in on silhouettes & shapes only
@winqlezW@bangvik_ Hola crystal. Oye muy aparte del tema porque ya lo he discutido bastante, pero hay algo que he notado de todos los que me responden y es que se refieren al fandom únicamente como "las armys" y ellas y así, ¿Creen que todas son mujeres o hay alguna otra razón?
if this were a group of women making their own music and this is how they chose to present themselves, not owned and produced by men in boardrooms I would be like yes girls eat up! but knowing the context of the group’s production? it’s gross. they worked so hard to be given slop
