Action Dummy
Added 2016-03-13 17:29:58 +0000 UTCIn an effort to make sure I am steady in growth, I am going to start posting exercise sheets here for practice. You can follow along with these and even post your own results (if you feel so inclined)! This one is called the Action dummy. The goal here is to work on movement, form, perspective, and consistency... all things I will be sure to need as I continue working on comic pages. The standing action dummy on the left is for reference (you do not want to get caught up in his design, or any anatomy details!). Try to keep your action poses consistent with this design in proportions and size as you move him around. I haven't done the best job with that here, but that's what practice is for!

Hmm, it's up to you, but I think the exercise is more effective if you challenge yourself by inventing poses from your own imagination. If the goal is to improve your drawing ability and develop problem solving skills, working without a reference will exercise you a bit more mentally. You should also work from reference to absorb new information, but I think this type of exercise is best without.
