[OCtober day 12 : Alu]

Where did you learn to draw anatomy? I'm trying to get better at it myself. :)

SephyTCD responds:

Well firstly I was being influenced by whatever the hell I was into during my first artistic endeavors which at the time was jojo, but then Saint Seiya came along and Kinnikuman after that, and those manga really helped take the complex poses and dynamism of anatomy and simplify it into something I could understand, while the whole time I was notice things in real life like on my own body and other people. Eventually I found old capcom fighting game artists like bengus and mixing that with my love for anatomy and utilization of it, I slowly just put together a sense and understanding of it until I was satisfied with in terms of anatomy and slowly got my own thing goin', slowly just getting inspired and cribbing little things from various pieces of media I happen upon.

As a bit of advice, something I always kept in mind is how the entire body reacts to a motion, and its important to think of ways to keep the body unstiff looking, give it some sort natural feeling and be interested in the weird intricacies of the body.

I hope someday I have the patience to beat terraria by myself, lmao. Maybe with the wiki in another tab. Great art! :) The bunny makes me very happy.

What do you do to make it look like she's standing in the sun?

Kaishu responds:

To get the bloom effect, I'm usually messing around with layer modes and soft brushes after the base colors/shadows/highlights are down. It varies from piece to piece. What I really recommend though is learning 3-point lighting, and then start experimenting once you get the gist of it. The sun here is pretty much one large key light with some soft fill and rear lights for indirect sources.

I don't remember what they were called, but some shark tank company made square skateboard wheels that are all terrain and stuff. :) Also cute art! I enjoy her flannel a lot.
