Hey, nice tutorial. I like the idea of outlining the overall form before fudging around with construction. Seems that it helps capture the positive and negative space for an overall statement.
It looks like you made a fresh drawing for each of the steps though. I say that because the problem I have when I create a drawing in steps like this (I'm learning) is that although I end up with a pretty solid drawing, the paper gets pretty messy. It's hard to erase all of those construction lines.
Any suggestions? Should I just get better at erasing perhaps ;)
ps. Sorry for the double post. This one had all the action.
Finally add shading and details. Sprinkle lightly with dark areas and serve.
This is really cool! Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for the post!
ReplyDeleteWho are the two gentlemen featured here?
JR, George Steinbrenner and Joe Torre of the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Smith for this post. I always love your caricatures. I think you should be a character designer.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for the tips. Is it better to use film footage or photos for reference?
You're so talented you make it look easy. Yet it's totally difficult, you are insanely skilled.
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial Jim! I sense a moneymaker here - The Complete "Draw Like A Man"® Instructional Series on DVD, with your host, Jim Smith!

It is always better to draw from life, a model or friend, but if nobody is around photos and film are the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a book on drawing the manly way in the not too distant future.
