Like it says it's my first trying out digital art and I wanted to take something from start to finish (sketch to digital). Just looking on ways to improve this. I have some more in general clean ups to do but wondering what I can do to make this look better cause I always like my sketches more than digital stuff. Also wondering if the leg looks broken lol.
#First timer at digital art- looking for tips

Hello! A new artist here haha. I think I can help a little. It does look a little stiff, and I think there is a solution for that.
When you do your sketch, make it like a stick figure but the poses have "flow". I'mma draw something real quick just to show you.
It's not really good and the lines aren't clear but I'll send you a link to a video that I saw 😄

hmm definitely sounds like gesture. I did learn about that in school many years ago but never have been able to implement it in my own stuff cause I never understood it completely lol.
in this the change you made was mainly in the legs right?
yeh, but I didn't really make a good example since I am struggling with legs as well haha
The thing i noticed in your drawing was that the thighs are bigger
like chicken legs or something- I don't know
Anyway, good luck with your drawings!
No problem lol. I'll check out the video you sent in the morning cause improving gestures is probably a good idea. Thanks for your help!
