anatomy help

[megadedhed]

hey, ive been working on my new pixel, but i think i may need some help with the anatomy.

 

 

 

 

edit 1

 

 

just a note: the left leg has been torn at the knee, so thats why there is half a leg, and the right arm is forshortened.

[eckered]

his torso needs to be biger.

[pjb21]

head value: 3

 

torso value: 6

 

leg value: 9

 

arm value: 8

 

 

 

basicly, torso 3 times bigger than head, legs 1.5 times bigger than torso and arms rreach halfway down the torso and legs =) thats how i do my work anyway, it take a bit to get it good but once your used to it youll bee find, also what i find helps is to first to a stickman scetch on paper then do a 'puffy stickman' (my own creation, heh) then the final version, all on paper than do a pixel based on the final drawing, it realy helps to concept it =) ill draw a pic of what i mean, 1 sec...

 

 

 

here it is, sorry only have camara no scanner >.<

 

argh, imageshack is taking ages *sigh*

 

here we go, yey!

 

 

 

 

and thats how i do it anyway and it works well for me so hey =)

his right arm is too long, and left one is too short, it is not clearly visible that it is bend :-k

 

 

 

you should move his neck closer to front of his torso's top.

 

 

 

try to think how he would look like if he would stand straight. It helps. also you should get one of those wooden anatomy-puppets, they can be really handy before you start to remember anatomy by yourself. At least they helped me.

 

 

(no, this isn't my puppet)

as i said he left ars is supossed to be forshortened, and you are free to edit the picture... becasue i dont know how i can show some of the stuff you are saying

oehhh i've got me one of those! there not extremely usefull.. tho mine is called jack.. i draw on him.

 

 

 

mega, duuude the proportions are off, the legs arms neck.. everything.

 

i don't want to sound mean and i don't (no really i don't) but try not to think to much of proportions either it should go more automaticly.

 

if it doesn't go automaticly, you use shapes as begin particles, let's say like an oval for the shoulder etc etc.

 

and maybe look on references like google.

ok thanks. yeah, i started with a sketch, then i attempted to use my anatomy book, and for shortening and such... should i just give up on the anatomy and leave it like this? can you at least tell what he is doing

[ryoushinn]

Well..the right arm shouldn't be that long, the neck is a litttttttle too skinny, the left lag just seems kinda....really bendy. But overall, i think it's really good. Good job. ^_^

Quite nice, but its looks like someone threw a bow at him, that he tries to punch it away :lol:
