Introduction
I decided this week to focus on character bodies than head and hair since it was stressing me out. I have little to no knowledge of the body and anatomy. I was just going with the flow. This week while learning a bit more about the human body. Legs were always a struggle for me as a child and I didn't even start the feet yet.
It's hard to say what inspired me to want to learn about anatomy more. I always wanted to learn how to draw characters and people so I always had a general idea of how legs and thighs look without much issue. Calves are bigger than upper arms and thighs are bigger than calves, easy as pie! Right? The character sheet I will be basing the body type off of is Hut Tao from Genshin Impact, also Shonzo did something similar to me with using another character for the body model then applying his own twist.
Brainstorming
Before I did and based off my legs on a 2d art, but I felt as if it did not match the face as it was a softer and gender-neutral type rather than a more mature and feminine. Mihoyo has a lot of female characters in the same body type since he also likes reusing moels in his game, But for me, I just chucked along with what I thought was right. And I personally think it turned out okay.
Experimental
I struggled once again to start sub-division and get my mirror modifier to work. But I eventually got it correct. I soon started my legs but I tend to get a bit confused with how knee caps work. I still could not figure it out by the end of the week even trying to learn frame by frame with Shonzo. My brain could not wrap around it so I decided for the sake of my sanity I would do it after I finished the body.
Process
Reflection
I am happy I started the legs for my brain to take a break on the legs, but I really need to figure out the body and how the legs are more round than just flat on the back
