I like it! Good stuff!
Glad to hear it
Excellent website. Great tutorials!!!
One hand that’s making a fist has six fingers.
on the section by Chrissy Fellmeth, the hand that is punching has 5 fingers and a thumb
I believe not. This is the flat of the hand. After the last finger there is a skin fold.
wonderful! thanks for sharing. i also get inspiration looking at Florian Satzinger’s approach to hands.
Byrne Hogarth’s Dynamic Figure Drawing is totally awesome, no art teacher will ever help you to draw deep perspective action figures like that book will.
Personally, I find feet way harder to draw, but the levels of stylization are incredible reference in themselves.
I’m extremely inspired together with your writing talents and also with the structure on your blog. Is that this a paid subject or did you modify it your self? Anyway stay up the nice high quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one today..
A must for us newbies
For what it’s worth, the second Disneyesque hand sheet, below Les Clark’s, is actually by Preston Blair if you care to give proper attribution, from his book “Animation” published by Walter Foster, 1960.
But I forgot to say thank you for the awesome reference page!
