And here's part two!

Those of you looking for more specific direction might like that one better.

These crazy things take me so damned long. Honestly, I've put a lot of hours into it, which is why it's so late.

I realize this is word-heavy. Sorry, but I didn't make this tutorial for people who don't like to read. There are already dozens of these on DA and you can find them by plugging 'poses' into the search bar. I felt the need to cover information that the others don't.

I thought I had a LOT more to say about this but I guess I don't.

It might come back to me later. Apologies for spelling errors. I read over it about ten times and kept finding tiny little things so I'm sure there are still a few hiding here and there.

THIS. IS. SO. GODDAMN. TRUE.

I totally neglect to practice what I feel I'm worse at, simply because it makes me feel redundant and ridiculous. You've summed up my entire art life in this tutorial.

Thanks for providing so much inspiration to me in one image!

^{This is so helpful, I never thought of many of these things. Thank you!}

I wish someone had made something like this years back, and shown it to me. I've been drawing for 9 years, and when I first started, anatomy scared me, so I stuck to small things... buttons, leaves, lights, pens, etc. I was told to just practice, practice, practice... no one told me to practice what I WANTED to get good at. So in my young head I looked at it all like a video game... level 1 was buttons, level 2 was logos, and eventually I'd just level up to doing people and animals... now here I am, more talented at drawing lamps, cups, and doorknobs and floating eyes that earn me a lot of praise for my attention to detail... but the things that I want to be good at? I'm not. And as you pointed out, it's not always fun to practice what you're bad at, not always fun to slog through it... especially when it's something you want to be good at.

So thanks for posting this, it wasn't much that I didn't already know, but it was nice to be reminded of it, and I'm sure this will help many people to avoid what I did, and I'll be sure to link this around to anyone I see and know who needs it.

This is an extremely helpful tutorial. Very well written and informative. It just baffles me how much, as an artiste, we don't always think about even though it seems like obvious information. You've reminded us of these things and kept it simple. Very good tutorial. one of the best

This is really helpful actually. I think my best feature of drawing is the face and torso as well as hands. I cannot begin to handle breasts or proper neck positions and I am terrible at poses so, according to this, that's what I should concentrate on.; which makes sense. Also backgrounds and scenery is something I need serious help on.

Great tips, and your gestures are really appealing. Nice clean style.

So wonderful. Thanks!

~Vimes-DA Feb 12, 2013

Great series of tutorials you posted. Read through the 2 parts and it's like you pulled the thoughts out of my mind, I think about art almost exactly the same as your text here, saved me the time of writing the same stuff myself

. If I want to show people how to improve I'll point em to these tutorials.

Funnily enough I also really have trouble drawing how the neck joins to the shoulder aswell, always perplexed me. So weird how it sinks inwards when the head moves down towards the body. Also have a lot of trouble drawing the bend in elbows

. Anyway thanks for taking the time to write this.

You've done an amazing job here, Hibbary. There's so much helpful information here that I don't think most people think about. I hope to utelize some of this in the very near future.
