[QUOTE=Roundhouse;26583474]Yeah i do. subconsciously.[/QUOTE] Guess what, the subconsciousness is built upon experience. Your body has learned, through practice, how it should move and much strength it should put into it. How do you shade hard and how do you shade soft? That depends on the pressure. Pressure = how hard you press = how much your muscles presses down your hand. [QUOTE=Roundhouse;26583603]Aha! "learning [b]certain[/b] movements"! You don't use "certain" movements in drawing. You learn cetain harmonies/algorithms in design, anatomy, form theory etc. aka. things related to the brain not muscles. :biggrin: Anyway, let's just leave this be. I have to go.[/QUOTE] You use certain movements. First and foremost the most common movement is your natural hand movement, back and forth. You also learn how to draw specific things, like a nose, eye, ear, whatever. Everything you want to draw you have to practise drawing. Anything you want to draw requires different techniques and different movements. Your muscle memory will learn ALL OF THEM. Every single thing. It will learn how to draw a cartoonish nose facing to the left, to the right, straight at you. It will learn how to draw a realistic semi-thick freckled nose facing 45 degrees to the left seen from a frogs perspective. Muscle memory is the memory in your brain that tells you how you should move your hand to do that and that. It's called technique. Everything in life requires techniques.

[QUOTE=Roundhouse;26586482]Greeneyes I know you're there! post some of your stuff![/QUOTE] I'm still lurking. I haven't posted anything because I'm completely stumped as to what to put in the front of the scene I've been working on (and I have a lot of uni work). I need to make it look like less of a 'platform' that the character walks across and more part of the landscape, if you get what I mean. I have done other scenes but if I post them all where will the adventure be in exploring a game world that you've already seen. I will be posting some character designs that hopefully are more unique and fit the worlds style.

I know what you mean with that platform thing. You could use a curved platform or something? Or make animations more 3dimensional [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=eXiv2;26587961]I will need more than your wishes.

you're doing it again.

Do we realy need to discuss the whole "muscle memory" thing? Uurgh

You're just arguing that drawing doesn't use muscle memory because you can draw in so many different ways, but that's wrong. Muscle memory is something that is trained for EVERYTHING in life. Every way of drawing requires a technique of some sort, sketchy, cartoony, realistic, gradient shading, cross hatching, to name some very basic and rough ways to define ways to draw. (Yes, that's just a style, but a style needs a technique, and even though you make your own style and own techniques you still need that technique, which is something you learn and perfect over time. A.k.a, it's muscle memory after all.)

[QUOTE=Roundhouse;26591463]Yeah, it's like arguing with a brick wall. I'll stop.[/QUOTE] You couldn't come up with any arguments? That's cool.

Stop it dgg.

[QUOTE=Roundhouse;26591171] [i]"Think of walking into a dark room and instinctively sweeping your index finger upward about 4 feet off the ground to try to flip on a light switch that you "know" is there."[/i][/QUOTE] That's called spatial reasoning. And it has very little to do with muscle memory.

[QUOTE=3v3ryb0dy;26591672]Stop it dgg.[/QUOTE] I did. Otherwise I wouldn't have said "That's cool". :v:

That's being passive agressive.

I was disappointed with you guys, but then I remembered how I had ruffled some feathers with my opinion on photography, and I realize it's in our nature to debate. I love you guys.

Nice...? I guess.

Go easy kids, I'm not done. When I'm done, then you can really rip on me. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Untitled-2512345678.png[/img]

Nose looks incredibly bent to our right. The lips really angles very much to our right too, and the distance between the nose and lips is way too far. The lip is stuffed right up in the jaw.

1. I thought so too. I'm going to go back and fix that. It's been bothering me. 2. His head is slightly turned. 3. Wha?

for the last point, I think that might be because he only shaded his left face. Well, hope it won't look that way when he finishes. Anyhoo, the nose is off, and the lips are too far, agreeing the first two points.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;26584542]this is what i have, a laptop with a tablet screen [editline]10th December 2010[/editline] a tablet screen is by far the most practical tablet there is[/QUOTE] I wish I could afford one but those are like $1000 and usually have really shitty specs compared to a laptop you could get for that price.

[img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Untitled-2512345678.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Right now the right eyes seems to be ingrecedbly oversized and lips should move up a bit. I'm afraid to say anything else since you tend to do alot of changes with your shading. I like how the eyes have working lighting on them.

[QUOTE=onox37;26595905]2. His head is slightly turned. 3. Wha?[/QUOTE] Noticed that. But they look way too skewed, but I think that also has a lot to do with the shading. A direct follow up on "Lips are too far away from the nose". They are tucked way too long down, thus, they are tucked up in his jaw.

Did some anatomy-pose practise yesterday. 26 poses, if I hadn't taken pauses every few pose to do other stuff, it woudn'tve taken me more than 1.5 hours. Would've doen more but ran out of paper.

Thought that would be a good start. I will post when I get some actual stuff done.

I should really do more of those too. :/
