memes that are more useful than actual class

hospitalvespers:

here is a list of deviantart memes that are more helpful than our character design teacher could ever hope to be. i wouldn’t say you have to do all of them, or even every thing in each one (switch stuff up a bit if it inspires you to draw a different pose), but they’re all good starting places!

Expressions and Body Language
25 Essential Character Expressions - super helpful for different emotions you might not normally draw
Ultimate Expressions - same thing but bigger if you have like a YEAR
Reactions - expressions, but with a reason!
Body Language - body language is just as important as facial expression, so this is a good one to try

Poses
Annoying Poses - some tricky things
Action Poses - HIGH KICKS ALL AROUND
Action Poses II - (for more subdued characters)
Character Poses - various, everyday things

Development
Different Ages - it’d probably be better to space out the ages more, but it’s a good start
Character Variety - figure out what makes them unique
Wardrobe - drawing clothes is FUN
updated age meme

Other Stuff
Character Building - more of a written thing, but interesting if you’re into that kind of stuff
Character Inspiration

    Yeah. I’ll be doing a few of these today. Really need to loosen up and get some consistency in character back again....
