I may try that soon, because I definitely find myself struggling to draw characters in poses. -To comment a bit on the drawings: the heads look weird, I think I'll practice them a little more tomorrow, maybe. The body went in a decent direction but the hips look like they're pointed in the opposite way than I intended.

I kind of just drew him to show some people at university as an IRL reaction sticker. Still wanted to include him here. + + + +I looked at some people on the bus today (shocker, I know) and one person on my way back home from uni made me realise that I had kind of fucked up ear placement, neck flow, and head shape for a while. From a 45-degree angle, the ear is fully visible but it's still mostly within the head silhouette. I then drew the drawing in the top left to try this out, and it did look more natural.

I found it interesting how his head is drawn with way straighter lines than all the girls I had drawn up to now, where all shapes are much more curvy and wavy.

Turns out, I really didn't know what I was doing lol. Trying to figure out where the legs go, where and how they cross, and how they connect to the body is a challenge, and I was doing it with no reference!
