Something I learned is that the most active part of the body is the focal point. If they are stepping forward that foot is leading the weight. If the creature is looking at at a bug to its right, it’s something they are actively thinking of with their brain, very in their head, so their weight will be focused more in the face and upper shoulders. Each creature has a goal. Even so minute. Figure out what that goal was in the moment of that animal and that’s helped me a lot.
How did ya know I bought this course when it launched proko. I definitely need to come back to it soon. Now that class is finishing up now. Thanks for the reminder.
@@natsunoyo glad to hear hopefully my mindset can be similar. Past 3 years of drawings had been no fun. Stress everyday without any improvements. Trying everything I can. My memory can't draw without any reference and it's getting into me frustrating. Just have to endure until I make my goals possible :)
@@sael5084 if it’s any help, I was watching this video recently and it improved my mindset a bit: th-cam.com/video/-th9B2j39UY/w-d-xo.html Something he says that stood out to me was to develop a professional mindset - think the way someone doing art or animation as a job would think. Just showing up and producing art is enough. If it’s bad, it doesn’t matter. If it’s good, that doesn’t matter either. The very fact that you created something is worth being proud of. I hope things get better for you soon! You’re doing great!! ❤️
@@natsunoyo I see thanks for the advice. Sadly motivation or passion isn't there anymore. Keep watching art videos but they don't affect my mental at all. Have clinical depression for 4 years now so it's more of a battle within me that I have to deal with. Hopefully I can get rid of it and come out on top :). How I wished art was fun as other artists say it is
That's what i started realized a couple days ago.. I started screenshot every dynamic and interesting poses from shorts and reels.. For me at these moments it's mostly from WWE
Can anyone think of some good links to some loop video? I mean youtube links, the reference vids on the main site looks great & I'll definitely check them out, but I would also like to apply this to humans
And a question,can I learn to draw animals without knowing their anatomy but by recreating the human anatomy and placing them instead the actual anatomy
Of course not, although we are all mammals, there are still a lot of differences between us, but you can start by learning the anatomy of representative animals first, like dogs for canines, lions for felines, and so on.
I'm not sure if it's really possible to draw animals without any sort of reference for drawing them, but if you don't want to overwelm yourself with anatomy/muscle structures, you can simplify body shapes down to simple geometric shapes such as circles or lines, which are fundamentally more important when it comes to basics
Amazing video!! But I was wondering if you have a DeviantArt account, because I have gotten a DM from a person claiming to be you, they are saying that they are going to promote my art or whatever, and I would appreciate knowing if this is actually you or not.
just the first minute- studying what the skeleton looks like, and the muscles. That does help SO much when trying to paint an unfamiliar animal. Sometimes fur can distort what is going on underneath for you. Important point to know.
There’s still more to learn in the premium course! To continue your studies on how to draw dynamic creatures go to proko.com/drawingcreatures

Thanks this really helped! 🙏

Yeah! Come back to it!
amazing instructor :) up there somewhere with Aaron Blaise considering the animal topic
How did you guys know I was stressing about this?? Thank you so much for making this video!! Super helpful!
Please don't stress you'll lose hair and have other health problems along the way 😢😢😊❤
@@sael5084 no worries! I go through these up-and-down periods all the time; they always clear up with no long-term effects. Thank you! ^^

Wrestling has some dynamic movements! Daniel Warren Johnson's wrestling comics have some GREAT wrestling action with dynamic posing.

Thank you for the video😊🥰
sometimes you can get a good idea of a character's range of motion from watching video clips on slow motion
What the technique,i think like scribble method
Very good information

@@chotho4718 no need for specific anatomy of animals if you make them wear clothes ❤
