[QUOTE="bobolino18, post: 3308931, member: 91759"] @ Rand86 yeah man I hear ya. It's easy to do. When you sketch try to go for less detail and more gesture. Detail is generally the last resort of poorly constructed anatomy. Often times in illustrations you'll see a huge amount of detail to make up for not well thought composition or anatomy. So you have to make a decision when you start... there is a time for fully rendered final artwork. And a time to sketch. You must put the sketching and the gesture in front of the fully rendered artwork. It's the planning phase. It has to be... if something is off you will see it in the sketch phase... if you jump right into a masterpiece of rendering and then only after X number of hours rendering that your anatomy/proportion is off it will suck. So sketch away. It doesn't cost a dime and is the best way to develop the eye and hand coordination required. Your second set of sketches read. As silhouettes most of them will read.
