Getty Gestures

I think the light finally clicked. After doodling during playblasts I went to getty images and started doodling some people from pictures. And realized that Lo and behold, that suddenly, I actually sorta understood what the heck I was doing. Of course, my drawings are still pretty crappy but finally people are slightly less embarrassing to draw and I'm finally drawing them with structure rather than just the outline.

Anyway . . . here are a few gestures I did from getty. Most of them are chicks, but there is a guy or two for the feminist out there. Also in the last image I re-drew an old character (though minus the clothes). I find that re-doing old drawings is one of the best ways to feel good about your improved abilities. Or just to ridicule your old abilities. Oh obviously the space man isn't off of getty, and obviously his left leg is too short. But for a random doodle I kinda like it.

PS - oh yes. No faces or hands as you may notice . . . well, one thing at a time.

I like the last one here when you say it's " less terrible" LOL that's classic man.
But yeah about the man hands, i was going for that on purpose even though it looks bad :P i'd imagine she's fairly tense right?

anywho thanks for the comments, always good to see some truth being told out there
