How many times I've read stories drawn from time and realize that Jonathan Steele fired holding the gun with his left? Is coupled with all the times that I noticed at the desk, and being still in time I could cancel without any mercy careless mistake. Well, if sometimes a collector of original pencils felt a cold shiver down my back and went to make sure that the boards would not lose its precious graphite, well, now you know who caused that brief moment of panic.
The blame is always our usual habit - probably derived from the comic book artist Jack Lemmon in "How to Murder Your Wife" - to copy ourselves, at least on certain occasions. Of course, there is no doubt that a good designer needs to know to draw a human figure from head to toe, well-proportioned, with a good balance, in a position consistent with what the story requires, and possibly winning. Hogarth lessons on the human figure once you learn you do not leave, and although sometimes you escape to a pose Tarzan, most of the time helps you get by in difficult situations (to draw, what they understood?).
But sometimes, just sometimes, in some detail is good, useful and highly recommended to copy something. Use it when you're dealing with an object, a plane, a car or a gun. When you have a car you have to draw the right person at the wheel, with his back to the right place, his arms outstretched but not too much, the seat that distance and so on. And if you shoot someone with a gun you have to do them by hand, and if the hand is in the foreground, and you see all the knuckles (two fingers, 5 fingers, always visible from at least 4 shot), and must be the right length, then there must be the arm and shoulder, and a jacket that falls from the shoulder, and you can not use action figure because those are the rotating shoulder, like Grendizer, so to speak, and draw Grendizer firing in a realistic cartoon is not ideal.
So take the gun. Imitation of course. The gun, not the hand. With his left hand, of course, because you have a pencil in his right hand. And you miss it, damn it, we do not think, drawings and then escapes and if you just hope that someone knows that there are people ambidextrous, and it is therefore quite possible that they could be among the actors in a cartoon.
Otherwise, if you are aware of the problem and want to avoid it, then you geniuses. To take a picture. If you have a volunteer you're done, otherwise, if you're Alec Ross (who has many friends willing), then you have to do it alone. You put yourself in laying up the camera, shots, and watch the result. Of course, on digital, we need the result immediately.
Too close. Too far. Too dark. Who cares if you have a long beard and disheveled or six you can glimpse the bald? Much is required of you. How
the title of my post? Strange people? Exactly ...
This goes back a few weeks ago. And I do not know if one day someone will find where is the sticker never looked so good.
Now do not ask me where to find sources of inspiration ...
