Why does this thought exist?

Watch it bub

OooooOOOoooOOOOH! It is hard to onomatopoeia that shit...

....
I'm sorry, all I can think is "Draw me like one of your French girls"

Draw me like one of your french squirrels

Aaaaaahhhhh i see what you did there :P

Aw damn son, I had just finished lifting weights... also I had just removed the yellow spandex.... shhhhhh now put the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again...

Goddamn Hercules,
you could be a model.

seriously you should give it a try.

I don't think I could, I have enough to do my own reference material which is exactly what this was but I don't think anybody wants to see my ass in a magazine... Except for Fangoria...I'd do it for Fangoria.

If it helps, memorizing certain kinds of proportion relationships can help. Like shoulders are two heads wide in men, elbows (when arms are down) are about at the bottom of the rib cage, fingers stop at thighs, and in general measuring body parts relative to the width of the face(not the skull, but the face). Also visualizing and sketching the skeleton beneath everything in a few, quick lines can help you eyeball proportions early.

Shit, replied below. My artwork is like my math work. write out the problem and then the answer, the in between is completely missing or incomprehensible.

I'd forgotten about the elbows to ribs but have a good grasp on most of the rest. My problem is I am a rare kind of stupid artist that rarely does sketch work and goes straight to finish product. More than three quarters of my work are all single takes with minimal erasure. One of my week points has been to sketch the skeleton before the body, I always go straight to the finished work. Half of my time is shading, a quarter is drawing out the lines, a quarter is visualizing and then beginning.

I used to do that too, I'm not sure why I switched to the construction/gesture drawing method. It creeped in slowly when I started thinking of things in three dimensions in my brain. But you know there's no right or wrong way to make art, except maybe to make nothing at all. That one is definitely always wrong. XP
