Anatomy practice, any tips?

[gritty ocean]

Just finished a small sketch of one of my ocs that I did to practice drawing anatomy (and people). Any suggestions?

(Just to be clear this is the first time I’ve tried drawing a person in ages)

Uhhh are they meant to be this long?

[zealous osprey]

the legs are way to long, making everything look way out of proportion

R the legs purposefully rlly long it looks kinda funny

[gritty ocean]

NO💀

[green anvil]

They are too long to show perspective

Height does not change in perspective but some parts get more focus

[gritty ocean]

Ah

tbh when I was drawing them I remember thinking they were too short at some point

That must be why

[gritty ocean]

This made me realize

Height isn't the result of legs growing

It's the body

So I think I'll try making the body bigger next time instead of just 'leg day'

[green anvil]

Well, yes but no

[gritty ocean]

?

[gritty ocean]

@green anvil how’s this?

[green anvil]

That's not perspective man

Looks like daddy long legs

If the character is 6 feet in perspective it will remain 6 feet

Use measurements like head

I was mostly correcting the legs…😔

I honestly don’t even know that much about perspective

I’m just trying to learn to draw a human body correctly

[green anvil]

Want some measurements?

[gritty ocean]

Yeah that would help

(I will say I counted like ten heads which is about 2 too many so)

[gritty ocean]

(Actually it might be how many heads are going to the legs rather than the rest of the body)

(Lemme check)

[gritty ocean]

(Yeah I think I see where I went wrong)

(If it were ten heads then that would just mean about 5 go to the lower body, and the rest to the upper body)

(But I can clearly see the imbalance)

(I may be wrong though, I'll wait for your input)

The legs shld be the length of the torso plus the head
