Every masterpiece begins with a stick figure drawing.
Real artists, yes even the really great ones, work out their art with thumbnail drawings and stick figure sketches – often on the backs of envelopes or paper napkins in restaurants.
To draw a stick figure is easy. To draw an action stick figure needs a little more work.
With a bit of practice you’ll learn how the body moves so you’ll be able to draw anything you like from any angle.
Luckily we can use photographs to help us work things out. In this video, Shoo goes through the process and shows you how to draw your own action stick figures. Why not draw along?
Be inspired by real life to create truly original characters.
A beetle crossed my path on a walk the other day. I filmed it and took photos. When I enlarged the photos, there were elements of its design that inspired me to sketch out some ideas.
A triangle theme emerged and I developed that further, each time trying to simplify the character to make it easier to draw again and again.
Consistency is the secret to drawing characters – you have to recognise them in each frame of animation or page of book. So, simplicity and definite character identifiers are really important.
It’s difficult dreaming up new ideas from your head. Go out and look at what nature has already designed and work with those shapes and ideas.
Have fun and good luck! If you have drawing or illustration questions you would like Shoo to answer – put them in the comments box below through the contact page.
