I came across this site that (if you subscribe) offers high-res frame by frame photos of people jumping, flipping, kicking, dancing, etc, so you can easily analyze each position the body goes through to complete each movement. I think this can be an excellent resource for gesture drawing and reference for all manner of artmaking. It is $49 a year for the basic plan, and that gets you access to the high-res photos and a few other features.

I realise that this is the shittiest tutorial in the world, but I hope it makes sense at least. I mean my coloring is pretty crappy to begin with, so it’s not such a complicated prossess as just a repetitive one.
But I hope it’s at least helpful to someone ^^ Feel free to ask me questions if you’ve got ‘em.
Anonymous said: I know you’ve shown how you draw faces from different angles very briefly before, but I was wondering if you’d ever go more in depth? For example, I always struggle with drawing the eyes at a ¾ angle… 😔
Ok, I get this question so many times that I decided to do something about it. I’ve already made a tutorial about drawing eyes and tbh it should help with drawing eyes from any angle, the tricky part is to understand the human face, its anatomy. If you see the face/head as a three dimentional object you’ll be able to draw it, I can’t say it enough, 3D thinking is important. Also, references are important, drawing from life is important because then you have a 3D model of the head right in a front of you. All you need to do is observe and understand.
Need a bigger serving of practice? Check out the 19-paged worksheet and .psd practice file!
The difference between a beginner’s comic and an experienced artist’s comic comes down to the details, and one of the biggest “invisible” details is proportion.
How does an artist utilize page and panel layout, negative space, word balloons and composition to their best advantage? This Shingworks tutorial covers all of this information, and the 19-page supplement worksheet and comic proportion analysis template .psd takes it a step further and teaches you how to analyze real comics so that you can apply these principles to your own comics :]
