I feel like i keep missing the hip bone when I lift legs in a pose can someone redline/explain what I’m missingNo reference used I’m trying to have bone structure part of my muscle memory
>>7776840Look up the trochanter area of the femur, that's where the joint flexes which is lower than someone who doesn't know about anatomy or exercise would guess.
>>7776840imo, this is just one of those things that youre gonna have to bash your head against until it clicks, tho practicing anatomy stuff helps. i have a similar issue often
>>7776840The hips are dark magic. Just find a reference
Unless you are a genius at drawing or someone with a photographic memory, NEVER draw without a reference. Avoid the perma beg trap.
>>7777152i draw without reference all the time and my drawings look fine. wasting time looking up references before every drawing is dumb. you're never going to find the exact reference in your mind that you're looking for. if you get stuck and don't know a specific part, THEN you should look up a reference. but as long as you study and are confident in what you're drawing, you shouldn't have to. that's like telling someone to look up how to draw a circle every time they want to draw a loomis head. don't do this.
>>77771521) people draw without a reference all the time. You’d be really limited in comics/animation if you were only locked to poses you could get exact references for.2) this isn’t a case where you want to be using a simplified doll-like 3D model as a reference, since OP was specifically asking an anatomy question.
>>7777205yeah but its always basic shitanything with any amount of interesting perspective you should and WILL need reference for if you dont want it to be wrongpeople can only draw what they've already drawn before, including poses. Just because you've drawn a bunch of poses of people sitting or standing doesn't mean you can draw them running or kicking etc. Or even if you have, do you know how that kind of pose looks from a low angle or top angle? Anybody who says they do is either a veteran with decades of experience or a clueless beginner. Use references for everything as beginner and intermediate for several years because 99 percent of the time you need it more than you think you do. There's a reason why manga artists and animators will straight up buy dolls, or hire models themselves or get their company to do it for them. If you need more specific reference, use more specific methods instead of stealing random photos off of Pinterest or Google.
>>7777254/beg/ question but seriously hw much do manga or comic artists use references for example? if they had to use a reference for every panel, they'd never get anything done would they? i get a bunch of panels are just chibi drawings and basic poses, do they use reference only for big artistic pages?
>>7777152Shut up. Animators can draw from imagination.
