After all, I have not practiced much detail on the human body, and since the illustration I am trying to draw now will have close-ups of feet, I decided to practice so that I can draw feet somewhat properly.
I wrote a lot of things I wanted to say at the end.
Reference Video
The age is video, isn’t it?
The video of Minimaru-sensei, which I have been watching for study for some time, was easy to understand, so I practiced while watching this video.
Minimaru Comic How to draw feet easily!
I have often watched his videos since I saw a rough sketch of a woman he drew and thought that I liked the lines. He has also published a book, and I always wonder if I should buy it.
I always find it easy to understand and use it as a reference because it gives a clear explanation of how to draw in language.
I can’t say that I have mastered it, but I will continue to practice without being discouraged.
I’ll try to draw it.
This is a rough drawing of a foot I tried to draw based on the video.
I didn’t look for any photographic material, so I used the feet of Minimaru (?) from the video as a reference. I was too lazy to look for a photo material.
It looks somewhat like a foot.
It was meant to be a foot seen from the side with a straight ground contact, but it is slightly sloped.
But it looks like a foot with it.
It looks messy, but I drew the legs.
I drew a semi-tressed drawing of a picture of beautiful feet I saw on Pinterest, with Minimaru-sensei’s figurative drawing method to organize my brain.
I thought it would be good if I could incorporate this into my practice.
Fortunately, we can collect as many photos of various feet as we want on Pinterest and elsewhere.
To be honest, I don’t have much enthusiasm for collecting photos of feet because I don’t have a leg fetish or foot fetish, but I will try to collect them as material.
Take the practice and apply it to your current illustration.
It is distorted. I would like to practice a little harder and then reflect again.
In particular, I would like to draw the fingers more girly and the angles to match the illustration, and although better than the previous leg, there are more and more areas I want to fix.
It will never end.
I was practicing several feet, and my impression was that once the heel was well set, the whole foot was easy to balance.
About Parts Practice
I have the impression that many illustration courses and articles tell students to continue to complete a full-body drawing or a single picture.
When I submitted an illustration of Asuka’s face or a bust-up illustration because I wanted to draw her face, the person who corrected my illustration usually said at the end of the correction that I should draw a full-body picture next time.
Also, although I think this is a slightly different kind of suggestion, when I was lightly wondering whether it would be better to practice a lot of rough sketches so that I could draw a more decent balance of the human body, and then color and make a single picture, someone advised me, “If you draw them all, they can all grow at the same time!” I was convinced at the time that this was true.
At the time, I was convinced that this was true, but I often had trouble when I found a part of the picture that I did not know how to draw, whether it was my personality or not.
Parts practice I still want to do.
What’s the point of drawing a full-body picture if you can’t draw a pretty face, don’t you think?
It would be good if I could separate the practice of parts and the creation of illustrations, but since I could not find time to practice illustrations in bulk, I had been proceeding with a single picture in a haphazard manner.
However, I am still bothered by it, so when I find a part I am not satisfied with (or even unsure of) in an illustration I want to draw, I will stop and practice it, as I did this time with the practice drawing feet.
Although the results are directly related to the time it takes to complete an illustration, I feel that doing what I want to do is much more fulfilling from a mental health standpoint.
I am so grateful to those who give me advice on how to illustrate, but most of them often don’t explain to me why I should do so, and it often takes me a long time to find the answer in my mind.
There are some things I am sorry for not asking for advice, and it is my fault for not going in and asking questions, but the people who have been illustrating for a long time are more likely to give me pointers and advice based on their senses, so there are many things I don’t understand when I ask them.
Why do you try to get them to paint everything?
My own understanding of why many people try to get me to paint a full body or a single picture all the way through is that even if I practice only the parts, the overall balance will change when I paint the full body, so there’s no point in doing them individually. I think this is what it means.
I think Dr. ixy said in a delivery or something that this is ultimately the feeling of someone who can draw some base.
I am always at a loss when it comes to drawing faces, hands, feet, etc. I am always stuck before I can draw the overall balance.
I am told to just draw the whole thing, and even if I force myself to do so, all I end up with are broken hands and dead eyes.
In the end, that tends to be the part of the illustration I try to complete that I don’t like.
Also, I understand the usefulness of repeating the process of drawing the whole body and completing it each time, but even in online games, balanced types take a long time to grow.
It’s easier to level the early stages of training by specializing in strength or magic than by balancing the statuses. Mostly.
I wish I could just skip the various processes and get good at it, but that’s never going to happen, so I’m going to keep drawing feet for the time being as a muscle training exercise.
I don’t particularly like feet, so I don’t know how far I can go, but I will try to draw about three feet every day, preferably from different angles, so that the modeling of the feet can occur as an illustration to the extent that I can add to the overall balance.
I really want to draw the hands better than the feet, but feet first in terms of the current illustration.
In the end, illustration is also an accumulation of experience. Perhaps.
