Ever since I've worked on action animated productions, I did a handful of figure drawing exercises to get ready to work on a show with a fast turn over.

A lot of my animation teachers have me doing gesture drawings this both brought back memories of class and got me excited for next quarter. I see you are another example of how professionals do this in their processes. Thanks for making this!

Steve Ahn was scary good at drawing for these kind of action cartoon. Invincible art style reminded me of the days of stuff like X-men Evolution or Men in Black cartoon era.

I’ll try this outside innapproach for sure! My drawings are always so messy so I think doing the full body shape as a first draft will help instead of drawing contour lines early. As you said it depends on the goal of the image :) Also you said you are always trying to “figure” out an approach. Good one! (Ok I’m sorry)

When I went to a community College, I had a figure drawing instructor complain about me not drawing objects with the figure drawings. Well, I knew the guy was 60, and had a Masters degree. After class, he sat at his desk at his office ;and I sat at in the front in a chair. I examined our FINGER NAILS. My finger nails were boxed squares and his were the CLASSIC OVALS. I explained that I felt the reason why I didn't draw objects with the figures was because I was getting carpal tunnel syndrome from the MANICURE I had...he never pointed this out for the figure drawing 2 class, and I got a B instead of an A. VERY CLEVER, AND LESS DRAWING MISTAKES ON HIS PART!

I've recently been rewatching your own animations and I've been wondering in certain scenes in like little nomad and Wolfson there always seems to be a blur in certain movements of the character is this true and if it is why and how do you do that?

How do you ignore small blank spaces on your page between sketches? I always feel like I have to draw something there and can't seem to get around it.

Hello sir, i am your big fan from India. Sir i have a very strong urge to learn animation from you through your 'the complete introduction to 2d animation course'. Sir my economic condition is very poor these days😔, I can't afford the price of the course right now but I will surely do my best in learning the skills teach by you and I will pay the amount of the course when I'll get some work through my art. Please help me so I can access your course.🙏 I hope you will understand my situation and help me in my tough time. Thank you sir🙏💛

Please don't use a rectangle for the torso! It is very stiff doesn't show any bending, squashing, stretching, twisting. The proko bean is far superior if your looking for a very simple way to indicate the torso.
