Gif 1: A hand painting a green ukelele with white flowers.

Gif 2: A hand in front of a canopy of ferns, covered in three brown moths. The moths have eye patterns on them, and each one is about the size of a palm. The hand rotates, showing the moths off.

Gif 3: A green snake with a mottled, black pattern hangs on a vine. It’s head moves to the side as it looks around.

Gif 4: A shot of legs wearing brown pants and black, dusty boots. One of the boots is tapping the ground, as if waiting for something. The ground they stand on is gravel slightly overgrown with moss.

Gif 5: An animated gif of Dr Clef from the SCP Foundation, drawn in a black and white pixel-art style. He has a wide brimmed hat, and shaggy, short hair, with bangs that cast a shadow over his eyes. He has a lab coat draped over his shoulders, and a black shirt with a tie. A shotgun is slung over his right shoulder, and a name tag is pinned to his coat that has a music signature written on it, an alto clef. He’s smiling at the camera with teeth sharper than normal, his hands behind his back.

Gif 6: A brown cowboy hat rotates on a pedestal.

Gif 7: A scientist walks past in a white lab coat with a hand in their pocket. They wear a navy tie and pants, with a light blue shirt.

Gif 8: A slo-mo of a shotgun being fired. The shells eject with a brief burst of flame.

Gif 9: A jumping spider crawls onto the lens of a pair of glasses. Jumping spiders are small, about the size of a fingernail. They’re very fuzzy, with thick legs, big mouth parts, and very small eyes that sit on top of their head. They look much friendlier than regular spiders, since they’re fuzzy, small, and have soft mouth parts instead of pointy ones. Can you tell I’m biased I like these little guys!!!!

This is just a personal pet peeve of mine but i feel like a lot of online art tutorials overstate the importance of stuff like guidelines to get “correct” anatomy every single time and while those are typically really good handgrips for beginners we should also tell beginners about gesture drawing. Like maybe i’m being too animatorbrained here but being able to pump out a pose in anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes and quickly move onto the next drawing without lingering on every little mistake is a really really good way at getting good at drawing people proportions quickly. If you make mistakes fast you learn from them fast. So here’s a little exercise:

Sit down, grab some reference images, draw ten poses in twenty minutes (or do ten poses in ten minutes if you’re feeling adventurous or confident) and take a step back and look at your work after the fact. Be sure to move from drawing to drawing quickly once your timer is done. Pretend you’re in a model drawing class and the model has already changed pose whenever your timer hits - finish up whatever lines you were drawing, move on to looking at what the model is doing now.

You will make a lot of shitty drawings, of course, but that’s not so bad. You only spent a minute or two making each one. Focus on the drawings you do like, and look at them as a whole.

Look at all the drawings together and how they fit together on the page. Look at little details and lines you’re proud of. Take note of things you found difficult to get right in such a short time. Take note of the things you liked doing. Do the exercise again, and focus in on the things you want to improve or explore.

Maybe you want to focus on how the torso conveys its weight on the legs. Maybe you want to focus on how shoulders and arms bend around the neck. Maybe you want to focus on how to convey depth on the torso. Maybe you can learn something more about how to draw a body if you only draw using sharp lines and angles. Maybe you can learn something more if you only draw using squiggly, overlapping lines. Maybe you can learn more about how to draw a body if you only fill out the shadows with thick, quick lines. Congratulations! You’re not just learning how to draw a body, but you’re now also exploring your tastes!

This is a fine exercise to do alone, but it’s a lot more fun to do as an activity with a small group so you get to discuss the art you made together.
