How to : Sketch Human Body - Short Video Timelapse
Added 2023-02-25 14:07:49 +0000 UTCWhat is everything consisted of? Can you simplify the human body? Of course, you can, and I'll show you how in this fast-timelapse process that I made uniquely for Vergil :D
First, I drew over the reference photo just to break down her body into basic geometric shapes, so it can be easily visible to everyone - what I mean by it. This would be a lot easier to explain with a longer video in OBS and a voice over, which I do plan to do over time. For now, it is a short CSP clip. However, many people start sketching by diving into trivial details at the very beginning, and because of that, drawing can lose its flow, harmony, and organic feel.
Overall, one should always look for the geometry, not just the object itself, but the empty places around the object, too. Sketching should be "messy" while still having a solid base. This method is helpful for learning basic anatomy that we end up memorizing so that we could use it in our anime/cartoony works later, too. Details like eyelashes, hair, nails, flowers on a dress, tattoos etc are not important in this first step.
After this step, you add more details and more curvy, bold, thin or sharp lines until your drawing is finished. I can make a whole 2 hour video just talking about the lines, but I'm not gonna rush into everything :D
