It’s time for this month’s tutorial! This one is about drawing different body types, something that was requested a few times over the last year. It covers:
- How I developed a ‘default body type’ over my artistic development, and how I learned to divert from it to draw different types of characters
- How to modify basic shapes and proportions to create variety in the body types
- How to develop a character sketch from a reference photo
- Where to find valuable reference material for different body types
The brush I used was the MaCaLabs HB pencil brush: http://cbr.sh/fg8up?ref=loish
Here is the artwork that I created during the tutorial:
Some other tutorials that might be useful to check out after this one are:
- Constructing a pose: In this tutorial I talk about the basic shapes I use to construct a character and how I arrange the elements to create a more flowy and dynamic pose.
- Drawing masculine faces: This one talks about ways in which I try to convey masculinity in a face, especially about using angular shapes and straight lines as a shortcut.
Hope you enjoy this tutorial and as always, let me know if you have any questions or ideas for future tutorials - they are always welcome! Subtitled version is going to be posted in a minute.
