Also idk if y'all dont know this but I've just started noticing it irl but females backs arch kinda noticably so if your drawing a girl sitting or from the side her back usually shouldnt actually be straight, slot of womens back curve noticeably

Also females have different chest types, im used to there being this like default chest type in animated media but female bodies are VERY diverse TvT

So those are extra things to consider on top of yanderes teachings:p

[Yanderemenhera]

@_Izzy_ my posture is [censored] so I definitely get that and I like what you say about chest sizes, I never hear anyone bring that up as well

[Yanderemenhera]

@_Izzy_ I also noticed that women vary insanely in height as well, and the common trope of women ALWAYS being shorter than a man isn't always true, I do see women in public tailer than me but not too often and regularly I see guys shorter than I am, one of the reasons why I put the total drama island cast here was for the different heights and body types to kinda show that there's not exactly a single default size for a woman

(I am aware that the bodies are very over exaggerated and cartoony, but still lol)

when i drew i imagined the poses like lets say... a paper clip, you band it out straight then pose it. when i drew (krita and paint .net program) i used to always draw a stickman i called bob really big and in a pose so i knew the positioning the arms and legs were. my drawings turned ok-ish

[Yanderemenhera]

@xenth I do use guidelines (I.e. a line, a ball for a joint, another line and then a hand) for posing arms sometimes tbh

[Yanderemenhera]

@xenth I can draw posing, but since I usually want attention on the outfit, I don't usually do much because I want the outfit to not be obscured by a dramatic pose

[xenth]

@Yanderemenhera the outfits you do are epic, i think this was a very good post on art :)
