Also a reminder tomorrow is going to be the 40th Anniversary of Dragon Ball please do a How To Draw Video to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of it you did one before so maybe a new one for the 40th Anniversary this year also great video on comic book legs.
Oh wow, thanks for the idea! Yes, I made one for the 100 artist challenge (How to draw like DRAGON BALL Z - Retro Challenge). It takes a bit longer than a day to make a video, so I won't be able to make one for the anniversary.. But check that one out of you can, I drew some X-Men in the style of Toriyama, my video Manga CITY POP KING - Study and Drawing Challenge of EGUCHI HISASHI , has a Bulma drawing thats a nice homage as well.
@@retrosuperheroart2202 Also i like Akira Toriyama's art for Dragon Ball i think you should do a How To Draw Video on a another Manga Artist named Monkey Punch who is know for creating the classic manga Lupin III and it was inspired by american comics like Mad Magazine for the artwork you should do a video on his art style i think his art is kinda awesome for a how to draw video they are kind of Mad Magazine inspired also Lupin III had a film directed by Hayao Miyazaki called The Castle Of Cagilostro which Luigi from Cars was based on the Fiat 500 from that film also i would definitely like to see a How To Draw Like Lupin III's Monkey Punch Video because his art style will fit your RUclips channel.
@@retrosuperheroart2202 Also Monkey Punch's art for the Lupin III Manga is definitely good for a How To Draw Videos on your channel also this year is the 45th Anniversary of The Castle Of Cagilostro also maybe you should do a How To Draw Like Monkey Punch Video it would be a good addition to this channel also i want to see you draw stuff in the style of Lupin III's Monkey Punch in the next how to draw video on your channel.
Action poses are super fun. Perspective can be challenging. I wonder if it would help to plot out the perspective of the figures while still in planning with the fixed line method (a physical string and safety pin to show where your points disappear toward). I hope that makes sense! 😅
Sure, that would be useful. Like planning the drawing starting from that Jim Lee triangle. Making the figure structure a bunch of cubes and cylinders helps with that, especially the dramatic perspectives. I've see the string technique, and they have special rulers with suction cups to place on your desk as well. (though I usually just eyeball drop some perspective lines)
Thank you! Though the inking I did on it was a day before the challenge. Done with a Pentel office pen then a ink marker. Might need to get some new supplies for coloring and inking lol. I nearly ran out of ink when I did the buildings.
Lol, yeah that was a lot of black. You can always use some of that thin A4 typing paper and do a pencil layer over it (DIY lightbox is quick to make with a picture frame or something transparent) So kind of a pencil-ink version. Like what a penciller would give an inker.
@ True, but I was mostly working without a lightbox or stuff like that. I do most of my art from sketchbooks and occasional digital art. Although anything else to mention about the artwork?
@@Otis_. Sure. Always good to experiment. The muscle structure looks solid, just the trunks detail I would have covered over the right quad as well, so having the bent quad have some of the trunks on it as well (even if it's in shadow, just the hint of it perhaps)
That’s Boom Boom. 😊. Great video with some interesting observations. Looks like artist were just referencing other artists with those examples presented versus photo reference.
I think I said it does, just that its an 8% chance that it does. So in this case it hides the foot. Kind of like taking a picture of a man holding a large flower pot walking behind somebody and then the picture being taken just as the flowers pop out from behind the front guys head. It happened, but it was an odd timing to take the picture. So I believe in this boomer case, it looks accurate, but any other picture angle ,or any other timing would have looked better.
Awesome a very informative and handy video on legs Also, thanks for the color and hatching tips I really want to take those to heart especially if I really wanna make those characters pop out and make it feel like something out of an actual comic book. Plus, I really felt like that Wolverine and Colossus I did had instances of McFarlane, Capullo , Finch, and Bart Sears and I really would like to do another challenge although this time I think I’ll use actually like actual pencils to help me out before I ink and color it on my computer
My pleasure! Yeah, if you're used to pen and paper doing everything digitally can be a bit weird. There's no substitute for command-z in the inking though ;-)
@@retrosuperheroart2202 yeah well for me I feel like when doing comic book art digitally it’s better to use it for ink and color and AnyWho I would like to do another challenge when you’re ready
The best way to learn to draw legs is to look at pictures of actual legs. Fashion magazines, bodybuilding magazines, even looking at your own for reference. It’s best to do that than looking at comic book stuff which is greatly exaggerated.
Photos are very useful but they usually miss the dynamic exaggerated movement of comics. For anatomy you’re right, its been a few decades since my legs looked like Supermans though … ;-)
If it helps anyone the layout of the leg muscles is actually analogous to the layout of the arm muscles....triceps=quads, biceps=hamstrings, ulnar crest=shaft of tibia,etc.
I was just looking up leg tutorials. Truly the hero I needed
Cool, glad to help!
RIP Turner 😢
Let's keep his art alive 👍

I love that Lupin III Miyazaki movie, the movement is so smooth and funny. It's on my list of topics for sure. Might even make it an animation video.

Very cool. I tried to draw this pose recently and messed it up.
This video is a big help. I just subscribed. Good tips.
Awesome! And thank you!

Video Suggestion: How to Draw like Bruce Timm.
Bruce Timm rocks! Please check one of my first videos ‘How to draw like Bruce Timm ;-)
@@retrosuperheroart2202 ok

So nice, they named her twice! lol Yes, the old telephone game of a copy of copy of acopy off acopp oollakopppyyy ;-)
You're wrong. That Boomer pose could hide her calf and foot.
I think I said it does, just that its an 8% chance that it does. So in this case it hides the foot.

Indeed. Sure, I added you to the list so its in your inbox. Have fun!
@@retrosuperheroart2202 thanks
Now all that's left is a "how to draw forearms" lol
the ultimate guide to drawing.. elbows!!! lol
@retrosuperheroart2202 yessss, loll

Wolverines mask is just 2 Batman kissing and now you can't unsee that
lol!
I hate drawing legs
The cluster of muscles are annoying to memorize
@@BradRedacted yeah like the foreharms are annoying they are so close to eachother
@@criss-8 you are 100% on the money with that too, it doesn’t help how the muscles change depending on how they are flexed
Rob Liefeld mini and super mini jump quad to the rescue ;-)
