J, do you have any tips on drawing the same characters consistently? Like you would a comic.
And do you know of any quick tips for drawing bodies? (Besides the head being an eighth of the body trick, Im talking more cartoonish. :] )
~Thanks in advance~
Oh, one more thing, got any tips for making things look more metallic in hand drawn art?
Okay, lots of good questions...
1) The best tip to drawing a character consistently, is draw three versions of it, front view, left view and angle view. once you have that, when you do your other character at different angles, you can draw a rough estimate of what it should look like, then fill in the detail by looking at your original designs.
2) Depends how cartoonish you want it. if its super cartoonish, there are no tips, go crazy! there are no rules for drawing cartoons, you can make ten foot arms and the head the size of a melon if you want, but if you're looking for a specific stlye, look at other peoples work a lot, there's no shame in being inspired by other's works. If you look at disney characters for example, even though its not all the same person who drew them all, they all have the same style because they were inspired by each other.
3) Contrast! metal has the great ability of capturing light beautifully, so draw everything on the metal darkish, then leave pure white areas to add contrast and reflected lighting.
