If you want the hips to be wide and the shoulders small, that's fine. There are people with proportions that way. You just gotta make it look natural.
Again, not trying to bash you. I know it's hard to draw bodies lol.
It's fine I'm not good at drawing bodies I usually draw busts (even though I really do like how the art piece turned out)
Well that's good, you should take pride in what you do. It sucks to draw something and just not like it at all. You'll get there, though. And I know the feel. I waited wayyy too long to start drawing entire bodies.
But I usually have better proportions I just wanted to try exaggerated proportions
It isn't just about proportions, either. Proportions can be fucked with for whatever effect you are going for. It's more about doing it in a way that's "believable", even if it isnt realistic. But you'll figure that out the more you draw.
What do you mean by believable
Hmm... It's hard to explain. I brian froud can be a great example. He did a lot of the work on Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. I love his work. His proportions aren't at all realistic, but they are also believable because of the detail and thought that were put into them. You can tell he KNOWS what a body should look like, but is choosing to test the limits of what we perceive as "real"
Same with cartoons and animation in general. They exaggerate what they can while still making it look believable enough to register as "real".
I know his work
Nobody has proportions like that, but it still makes sense, you know?
Well kind of
Basically what I am saying, is that before you decide to STRETCH the limits of what is believable, it's good to have a good foundation.
Okay before we go on I just wanna say that I'm not trying to make anything believable
I don't like stuff like that
That isn't really the point though lol
Even anime (Which your style looks quite similar to), has a basis in reality.
Yeah I know what I'm saying is that i don't really want my style to have a basis in reality except the fact it's a human
You're not understanding what I am trying to say. But that's fine. I know you're young. You'll figure it out later anyway. Especially if you go to make a career of it. But I am not going to argue it because you are obviously being way overly defensive. Buh-bye.
And I could see how you could perceive my words and sentences as overly defensive but I really wasn't trying to be and I'm sorry if you thought I was being aggressive
Lol, the new sketch is mad at the old drawing
Cute
