Awesome! What you did in the video seems kind of familiar to me from what I read in Andrew Loomis's guide on figure drawing. Did you, more or less, master/learn that book?

I noticed the scaling by heads at 2:14. Will you go into detail later about the body proportions?

[vihena]

@OtakuyaroDono ^_^ Andrew Loomis is indeed the master, but his principles are standard practice, so no I didn't learn through Loomis' guide.

I'll post a guide on scaling by heads on my site at some point in the future.

May I ask, what tool did you use at 1:39? I think that tool can help me a lot instead of redrawing the entire part of my sketch... Thanks a bunch!

[vihena]

@ENZO234258 It's called the Warp function when you transform your selection.

Very well done buddy! The detail is absolutely spectacular :). I also notice you using some structure lines in there for the arms and legs. Really cool! :D

I've been wondering 2 things, do you typically plan out your references before you draw or do you find them as drawing? And also, where do you find your fashion images for inspiration from? Just random searches?

Two thumbs WAY WAY up!! :D

[vihena]

@udsahn Thanks! Sometimes, the references are planned out, depending on if the client or myself have something in mind. If not, then I just draw! Sometimes, my posing is very spontaneous too - you'll notice I didn't have a full-body structure to start!

Yup! Random internet searches! :D

@carAMMAL101 Radiant (vihena) has another neat video that answers some Q&A you might have, including that. But I can tell you, too. He uses SAI for lineart and photoshop CS5, if I'm not mistaken.

[OtakuyaroDono]

@vihena Oh, I see. I look forward to the guide. =]
