Tuesday Tips - 3 STEPS To really simplify my approach when drawing characters, here are the 3 stages I usually go through. First, a rough, energetic gesture, Then, I clarify the silhouette and push the pose a little further if needed. I finish by volumizing the shapes by using inherent elements of the character ( sleeves, waist line, collar, etc.) I basically try to hide the construction lines. Try it! Have fun! -norm #grizandnorm #tuesdaytips #100tuesdaytips #3steps

Tuesday Tips - Floating Hands I use this a lot when storyboarding a first pass of a sequence. Placing hands in the right, most appealing position can be tricky. In order to create a clear silhouette for the hands, I often draw them “floating in the air”. Then, using my general knowledge of anatomy, I just “fill in the arms”.
