Description This is one of my sketches for a panel to the AoH graphic novel when Tremor is trying to rescue Candice from Dark Spyro's onslaught. Note how I do draw outside the lines of the panel box to ensure that I get most of the form. Also note the rough perspective. (This is for those who keep asking. lol)

Thanks. Perspective is definitely something I try to work on the most with my characters acting out certain scenes. Still got a ways to go but I'm getting better.

Perspective is always a bitch - it take time to work out on paper, but I like doing it as well, though sometimes it drives me crazy.

seriously. I'm good with measurements but somehow I always make them look odd. I'm combining the AoH poster with my perspective final. I had a great idea how to join the two.

Draw like a man! Damn it! Lol. That's what one of my instructors said. Then there was the "draw with your gonads!" lololol. It's great being an animator.

Well, looking at your picture of Infernus, I would suggest adding volume. You have a good idea of what he looks like and now you need to make him not look like he's flat.

Step1: Draw through your characters. If you take a close look at Tremor in this panel, notice how where there are joins i draw all the way around as if Tremor were transparent. This will cover what you learn for anatomy, figure drawing and life drawing.

Step2: Think in simple shapes. What shape would our neck be? A cylinder. Same with your arms, legs, fingers. When possible, look at a figure and try and see what shapes are where. The ones you should be looking for are cylinders, cubes(box-shapes) cones, etc.

i can see shapes when i look at thing like your picture of Certo but i always have issues with drawing it properly. when it comes to drawing im very picky by nature so even the slightest flaw could drive me crazy...

oh well just have to study a bit more on how to draw these things... and work on making lighter lines so i can erase easier...

details go later. Never first. Start loose then tighten up at the end.
