What world am I living in? <br /><br />@Chel- I should just personalize my stash myself, that sounds like a smart system with the bands of color :DEdenhttp://geeden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030942.post-73427558415397205922011-08-10T16:43:08.848-04:002011-08-10T16:43:08.848-04:00I use the 8 head rule like they do in fashion illu...I use the 8 head rule like they do in fashion illustration (although fashion illustration is usually 9 heads because of elongation). I simply rough in horizontal lines, then rough in altered lines such as shoulders and hip alinement, then mark in key joints (shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, etc. and connect the dots.<br />It's like mapping out squares & rectangles before starting a landscape piece.<br />Here's a good example of a similar technique - http://www.flickr.com/photos/borrominibear/3494057300/rhomanyhttp://rhomany.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030942.post-66312459874981244442011-08-10T11:10:29.306-04:002011-08-10T11:10:29.306-04:00I started putting tiny bands of color (just a whit...I started putting tiny bands of color (just a white label sticker I colored in) around the ends of my pencils, so when I pull them from my cup of my box, I just grab the color I need- I started with red (the hardest pencils) and worked my way to indigo (the softest)- each shade in between is a step. I think you deserve a stash of awesome color-coded pencils, but maybe you can label your current pencils visually? I finally did that with ALL my stuff- markers, pens, pencils, etc. because it makes life so much easier!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204422715168104427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030942.post-26920963248367745532011-08-10T10:52:48.978-04:002011-08-10T10:52:48.978-04:00Depending on the perspective, that leg might be ju...Depending on the perspective, that leg might be just right!

Then draw the rest on top of it. Of course, this works better when you're planning on inking it and then erasing all the pencil lines entirely, which you're not, so I dunno.melydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255399219907416923noreply@blogger.com
