You may get asked this a lot, so please excuse my ignorance - but how do you go about constructing character expressions and body language and such? Thanks!
Besides The Basics (construction of heads and skulls and muscles and skeletons and how they move), I’ll go over some things I’ve been trying to work on myself lately:
1. Treat expressions as a single gesture of the face/head, as opposed to a head and then individual features dumped on a plate and arranged into an expression.
First, just get down the big shapes of your expression, just like you would for a pose.
So say I wanna do a low angle angry pose. I know the features are gonna be all mashed down at the bottom because of perspective.
Scribble it down
start to put on features
fix stuff
put on more stuff
fix stuff again
erasing and flipping and stuff a whole bunch until you are happy with it or stop caring
Whole head is a gesture!
2. Just like a facial expression, jot down where the important parts of an entire pose goes first. You can force the rest of the body to fit the pose.
So here I knew I wanted the shoulders tilted a certain direction, and te hand to be in that particular position in front of her face.
That’s the simplest explanation I got. Don’t be afraid to push and pull faces and bodies around! Worry about being “on model” last!
"The amount of hypocrisy and double standards when it comes to Stella and Stolas is ridiculous. No one is saying that Stella is innocent, but both of them made terrible decisions as parents and they both need to be held accountable for it, and that includes the “precious gay owl boy”. “B-but at least Stolas CARES about Via and is trying! 🥺”, that still doesn’t change the fact that his decisions put Octavia in a situation that she has no choice to be in. I don’t care if she’s 17/almost 18. That doesn’t change the fact that these two did the shitty things that Via now has to pay for as a child. Sorry, but not sorry. Stolas deserves to be cut out of her life for caring more about his own selfish wants, needs and desires than his own daughter. Octavia (nor anyone else actually) owes Stolas SHIT."

I'm so obsessed with the current ATLA comics artsyle. Everyone looks SO GOOD. I love how handsome and perfect Aang, esp that he's 16 in the comics. I love how cute and badass Toph is. I love the rigid shapes on Sokka that show his masculine personality, but still combined with his smug expressions. I love the texture of Katara's hair. I LOVE how BEAUTIFUL Azula, Zuko, and Ursa are and how they all kind of have the same face. I love how Azula looks in her comic so much, I can't describe why, but she just looks so good. Iroh looks the same tbh, he's just chilling. AND SUKI LOOKS SO MASC HERE!!
Artist is Peter Wartman and the Colors are done by Ryan Hill btw
Ok, hi guys, I really should learn English instead of using the deepl translator 🥺👉👈
Aha but the important thing, then I decided to get back into the world of drawing and all that, because hell if others can write about their favorite characters, I can draw them osea, for that I used to draw, but I quit you know procrastination 😣🔫
So expect me to upload my classes on how I relearn anatomy🦴, and basic color, (traditional and digital)🥸🤓 and maybe how I learn my fucking subjects already know some algebra🤢 and languages🗿 or maybe my martial arts 🥋👍.
You can probably notice that I'm in diverse fandom, so I'll upload of varied characters, if I don't die trying😢🙏, and of course I'll tag everything to make it easier🗿. (If I upload NSFW I'll put it in censorship, since I understand that not everyone wants to see that kind of content, and that's respectable, otherwise everything is fine, and hopefully we won't have problems).🫠
Bye, bye💅🍒
