Body sketch Set up

Description

This is just how I set up bodies. I thought it would help out some people. These are like, just the under sketch to a drawing. The important thing about these sketches are that they are fast. You are just getting out what is in you head. I draw them rather small too maybe a bit bigger then what you see here. Then I would teak it for proportions. Studying the human body (skeletal, muscular and from real life) will help you make good details and anatomy.
after I have lied out this. I then add all the clothes, face, whatever to it. I do that loosely too if people have seen my sketches. They are quite crappy. I spend more energy on the final product that people see.

So there you have it. This is my method. There are lots out there, try lots of ways to see what best works for you. =3

I used to have a book where I learned how to draw manga. I don't know why, but I draw free-hand. Yes, I don't use sketches for my humans. And they are -somehow- anatomical corrrect. (and I begin with the eyes)

Also the tipp with looking at the human anatomy in real life/your own body is a good thing, I learned to draw a lot of stuff (also animals) by looking and remembering. it also helped me with hands, legshape, armshape, ears and the human back.

I think for poses I should get back to those circle scetches...
