Alright You Hecks.

Someone has probably already asked you this but do you have any tips on studying/understanding perspective? I keep trying to find resources to learn but none of them really stick or are actually useful

so I'm hoping that your issue isn't just figuring out the difference between 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective and how it works, because there are tons and tons of resources available for that, and I'm guessing what people tend to get tripped up on is what you're supposed to be doing with your grid.

I'm definitely far from being an expert on understanding perspective, but I'll share some of the things that helped ME finally Get It.

Things like eye level and different camera angles can be a GREAT tool to use when doing a comic or storyboard between multiple characters of different heights!! I actually drew an example of this exact thing for a friend about a month ago (I used adventure time characters bc they're easy to draw and have a good height variety):

You can use camera angles like this to add variety to your shots, and even use it to help convey something emotional (using a down-shot on a character to show that they FEEL small, use an up-shot on a character to make them look more intimidating, etc etc)

hope this helps!

It’s time for my 8th annual, month-long drawing challenge! 🎉

The challenge is to draw every new AdorkaStock pose that I submit to the Draw Everything June gallery between June 1, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

A new pose will be posted at 6AM Eastern every Monday – Friday Eastern USA Time. (No new poses Saturdays or Sundays).

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

🟣 Draw every pose submitted to the AdorkaStock Draw Everything June gallery between June 1, 2023 and June June 30, 2023 (22 drawings total, some references will include multiple models). Sign up to get the new pose emailed each day!

🟣 Your goal is to draw all the poses by July (July! Not June ❤) 15th, 2023. Yes, this means you have an extra two weeks to get everything done if you fall behind or start late! Don’t worry if you are in another timezone and need to complete ‘that day’s drawing’ on another day. Want advanced access to get a jump start on the challenge? Patrons at all levels have access to all the challenge poses on May 15th!

🟣 Post your art anywhere on socials with #DrawEverythingJune2023

🟣 There are no individual prizes this year but everyone who completes the challenge will get a special download AdorkaStock pose reference pack. When you’ve completed all the drawings you can qualify by submitting a screenshot of all of your works, or a link to where you’ve posted them on the prize redemption form. The redemption form link will be here once DEJ starts!

🟣 You DO NOT have to do refined artwork with every pose – rough and gestural sketches are okay! But it does have to be the full pose (yes, even multiple models) to qualify. Props are optional but animals must be included. 

IMPORTANT: The majority of the pose should be visible for it to count for the challenge. If you draw the head and shoulders and cover the rest of the body with a huge dress, it’s not going to count as drawing the pose. You can use anthro characters and other slight anatomical or prop changes; you can change the genders of the characters or the species of any animal.
