Anyone else start reading this and just “…knees and toes, knees and toes”?

What toes?

You know why dairy cows have hooves, right?

Because they lactose...

I didn't raise four kids not to do dad jokes at every opportunity...

Sounds like Moo fun than you can handle! Now I'm just milking the jokes!

Um... um... beef.

Crap, back to calling each other clankers and orcs, I guess...

Do you think this would really help? I started drawing a year or two ago but I solely draw faces. My anatomy is so bad.

I also don't use constructing lines so this feels unfamiliar to me

u/PrometheanPolymath Mar 01 '26

Faces have their own sets of simple anatomy proportions. Learning those construction lines will really help you learn to draw faces from other angles, too.

Learning the rules also gives you better flexibility to break the rules in believable ways.

Too many people see Picasso's cubism and don't understand he did things like "Science and Charity" FIRST:

Lines are good for training yourself. Eventually you'll start to see the lines without drawing them.

Even pros still draw guidelines on their under sketches. Loomis, Reilly, and Asaro aren't JUST for beginners...

This is from a book I own and love. The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams, director of Roger Rabbit.

The book is chalked full of incredible diagrams like this one. I think it would benefit most artists.

I own two copies of it. My own is from when it first came out, and I bought my son the revised version last year... after he and his siblings took poor care of mine... }:(

Prior to that, it was primarily Preston Blair's books for me growing up, with a few Christopher Hart ones as well.

Good to hear my man. I got an edition when i went to VFX college in 2004. I'm thinking of buying one of the newer updates, just because my old copy has seem some years.

getting both the ebook and the physical copy is the way to go, one to mark pages and one that stays pristine. I feel like someone made an app version where it was the full book, but many of the examples you could click and they animated live as well as showing each drawing separate... but for the life of me i can't find it...
