How to Draw Various Body Types and Proportions for Comics

via Skillshare

Overview

Welcome back Students!

In this class I will be teaching you my process for drawing various body types and proportions for your comic book characters.  This can be a great exercise to break out of the habit we all fall into from time to time, drawing the same boring characters over and over again.

We will practice drawing the body in 4 very different ways.  We will draw a overweight character, a skinny character, a curvy female character, and a muscle bound brute character.  This will allow you to really stretch your imagination and ultimately help you to tell a better story in your comics!

In this class you will learn about -

  • Organic Vs. Angular
  • Proportions
  • Gesture
  • Posing the Character
  • Refining the Pose

I hope you find these lessons to be fun and informative and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thank you for your continued support of my Skillshare classes and more on the way soon!

Sincerely,

Robert A. Marzullo
