How do you construct your drawings?

>>2789885
Learn anatomy and perspective. You'll mostly be practicing perspective with construction since it's based around simplifying anatomy/objects down to basic forms.

Read some Bridgman or something

>>2789885
I make a loose gesture for the spine, then the 3 blocks of head / chest / pelvis, then sticks for limbs. I switch things around till I like the pose.

>>2789885

I just feel it and it comes. I trust my gut.

No, I am specifically asking how do YOU construct your figures. I'm interested in the different methods people employ.

>>2789908

I think he's asking what you do, not how to do it.

Also as for the question I've found that I find it easiest when I start with a line of action for the spine, do a 'bean' from that, and then build the limbs and head from there. Whenever I start with the head my proportions wind up fucked or I run out of space on my page.

>>2789885
I just draw the finished piece.

You're either so experienced that it feels natural and you're a dick for not explaining what you practiced years of your life perfecting, or you're an excruciatingly bad artist shitting up a good thread.

Care to show us which one of those you really are? If not you can just fuck right off

>>2789915
tried asking this years ago about the different mannequins there are and /ic/ was would not answer. The real answer is >>2789908

There is no simplified construction that is always perfect, and people's construction methods change all the time base on what type of pose and what part of the body you're drawing, not mentioning fat and body types.

I will say this, i think the less complex the pose, the less construction you need. Vilppu said construction is just a tool.

You only need it for figuring out forms that dont come naturally.

>>2789924
What? I like to think organically, even for figures, so I put more emphasis on the gestural quality first, construction 2nd. But by no means am I coming off as a pro, I just know what I want.

>>2789885
Gesture first, proportion check, then the ribcage/hips/head combo in perspective, everything else is usually sketched in as bones muscles and forms all together, but when I run into something I don't quite understand I draw from bones>muscles>fat/flesh

I usually don't, I just draw like pic related. Bare in mind that it still has many flaws, but it'll become better and better once I understand the anatomy better and better. Anatomy and construction and anatomy memorization is the key (memorize how everything looks from any angle), not gesture, at least for me.

>>2789965
thank you!

In true China man fashion some of it is straight up ripped from other books.

Pretty cool how he ties it all together, though. No wonder all those chinese guys are crazy good.

Who are these chinks you are talking about? Curious, because I only know chinese painters. Are you talking about manhua and dongman artists? If so, could you rec some to me?

>>2790391

Ruan Jia of course

>>2789965
thanks for delivering mate!

>>2790391
Ruan Jia (PBUH), HGJ (PBUH), Lin Ran (PBUH), Wei Feng (PBUH), Fenghua Zhong (PBUH) and many Others (PBUT).

I like using boxes

I use a squarish top for the shoulders and top and curve the sides. I then closely put a box for the pelvis and then cut it to a pelvic form. Do it all lightly and then build a meaty form over it.

Guess /ic/ is unaware of actual chinese comics.

>>2789924
sinix works this way, even his early work is more interesting than 95% of Level Up. Stay cucked, methodical fags

>>2791035
Sinix also sucks at anything that isn't wacky faces and vague paintings.

>>2791051
except he doesnt, but ok

>>2792696

Semi off-topic, but what do I legitemately gain from observing someone else's anatomy sketches? ie OP's pic

>>2792752
an idea of construction.

>>2791063
who cares his art has some flaws but it still looks amazing. its just pleasant to the eyes. kinda like kron but without all the tracing.

>>2789934
TBF I think he's absolutely impressive but his artwork taken out of context (not knowing he just shit it out in 5 minutes) is really, really boring. Same with Terada which I like a lot more, lots of sameface etc.

You can comine circles or cubes, figures that you can assimilate to the human figure.

>>2793275
stop trying to corrupt my visual library with this shit

>>2789908
Why is it that whenever someone asks this question, no one here ever gives a straight answer?
Its really frustrating because OP isnt the only one that wants to know this

and you really draw better? Lol its a basic figure contruction.

thanks. English not your first language?

>>2793299
Because nobody on /ic/ actually knows how to draw so they just parrot advice they heard somewhere else unable to give an actual answer..

>>2789924
Are you the same anon who posts orcas everywhere? You're becoming easily recognizable regarding your posting style.

>>2793299

seems like >>2789912 is a straight answer

>>2793299
This so much. It's so frustrating when people don't answer the question and just regurgitate generic advice that everyone knows already.
