It's brazenly obvious that there's more to how the dynamism on the right was achieved that isn't just the fact that "there's a line of action">silhouettetop image on the right has a pretty shitty silhouette>being goodyou look at the guy on the top-right and tell me it's just because they're good>energy/body languagedoes that look like a punch to youthe guy on the right is doing most of the work there
It also isn't inherient to the character design on the left imagesThese drawings, while not as rhythmical as the right, are a hell of a lot more dynamic then the ones on the left in the OP
>>7372115I mean, it's everything. You need all the parts to create a dynamic poser. You need the overall silhouette and flow, you need the proportions, you need the way the body parts are arranged in space, you need the specific shapes that make up the individual body parts and the specific lines that were used to draw them.A lot of people are allergic to talking about shape language or getting down to the level of individual lines because they think it's "/beg/" or "thinking in 2D" or something. But you need both, you need everything. You need to get into the weeds and talk about how pointy or rounded the knee is, how elongated in the curve that makes up the arm, things like that.
>>7372118Which parts of shape language create the flow?Silhouette is more for clarity, you can fuck that up and still have the shapesThat isn't to way it has no effect either, shape design just has a bigger effect
>>7372139interesting example: these two shillouetes are relatively the same and relatively uncertianHowever, right one has more energy
>>7372115gesture and composition its not that complicated
>>7372115line of action is a meme for autists most people understand this stuff intuitively
I feel like it's something in these sketches
>>7372187There's also this, which is... something but a very oversimplified version of it
>>7372188this was a damn good cartoon
>>7372115Also >>7372187 the meme is tricking newbies into drawing clean when the veterans were drawing messy like that. There is 'more' to it than just a line.
this is closer than >>7372188 butidk I feel like the arrows should be on top of the drawings, not next to them?
>>7372212This has the opposite problem I think: it shows what I think is happening better but it doesn't explain it
>>7372169>most people understand this stuff intuitivelyyou can see a lot of work where people fundamentally don't understand such a simple concept.
could be context too op. i’m /beg/ but i don’t think it’s anything but gesture and weight and shape design. >>7372188>>7372187you (general you) can feel the movement here only because you can see the weight, little bald dude’s artist even noted that
>>7372212This what you're looking for?
