I am going to need some Coaching

Wed Nov 8, 2006, 6:58 AM
  • Mood: Miserable
  • Listening to: If I do, I will dwell to much.
Believe it or not, I have a confession to make.

I can't draw humans..........

But I really have a character floating around in my head that I can only imagine and when it comes to start drawing him, it just always turns out very unnatural.

I need some help and thoughts on things like muscle placement, on natural organic texture of the body, and distortion to the right effect, but lets not forget hands and feet, and different positionings of the head.

My proportions always seem to get out of wack, because my character is large, it always seems that getting the right look is not the right look.

I would like to draw Venom too, but that is never going to happen if I cannot get passed my inabilities.

See lately I have been reading more on comics. I picked up Spidey's Feral where everyone is devolving from "The Rock of Life" and to see the art and shear mass of the Lizard is his fight with cat, the anguish after Billy was shot. I want to be able to do that. Have a robust chest bulging with strength, but also a heart that can be stabbed into when someone close to him gets hurt.

I know practice makes perfect, but practice does not seem to help when I keep getting things wrong and have no clue if I am getting things right.

There was a page in Feral that was just off the wall with Spidey on a wall with the frame right in front of him. The perspective I just would not be able to think of and the proper look of his back and frontside from the top.

Please I need help on my human art. I really want to be able to draw my feelings and have compelling characters. It bothers me so much to know that there are characters I love so much and I cannot even have a concrete rendering of what I see them as.
