Hi everyone,
Welcome, I am Daniel and I will be sharing my own way of creating a dynamic action poses and as today's tutorial is title [Let's draw dynamic action poses with CSP], so come along with me as I work us through it.
The course for this tutorial center on ways to better draw and render dynamic action poses.
we will be learning ways to better our dynamic action poses and better build up the energy flow, emotion and Body movements.
[Notice how the gesture poses of the right hand Image display energy, emotion and dynamic movements while that of the left hand side does not expression any dynamism]
Hence to better draw dynamic action poses, we have to learn,
The Proper understanding of anatomy
Since today's tutorial is not about anatomy, I will Just be pointing out the considerable parts of anatomy and the various hick up or wrong artist should (Avoid).
Anatomy drawing works side by side with dynamic poses, because we can not draw dynamic poses without having knowledge about "how muscles connect to one another", "how the various body part are arranged" and "how they look when performing certain movements". So having more understanding about Anatomy helps us to understand does and the way the human body looks and works, but before we get started with gesture drawing.
We will need to firstly know the various human body that made up the entire body; they are [the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvic bone and the upper and lower limbs] as indicated below,
***
Anatomy as a topic can not be ignore when trying to draw pose whether it is a dynamic pose or not.
So talking about the various individual body parts, so let's us start with that of
***
***
While for the neck, drawing of the neck when attach to the head or not, it is in a round form or pipe like form when we want to draw very fast poses but when we are to detail the neck there are three pipe involved two coming to the front and one big one to the back.
***
***
To draw the torso, we start by following this five steps; Step 1 (draw the chest, abdomen and pelvic bone which is indicated with the red colour follow by drawing two circle at each end of the pelvic bone and the spinal cord indicated with the blue colour, then finish by drawing the legs which is the green colour).
Step 2 (erase the part coloured red)
Step 3 (draw a lineart)
Stop 4 ( add details)
Step 5 (finish it by adding colour).
The torso is the center of dynamic poses which when the chest and pelvic bone bend one side in a 30° angle, that makes it to change from a stationary state to a dynamic state.
Chest, spinal cord and pelvic bone are connected to each other by the spinal cord which is behind the human body, which is painted green [Point C] as show using the square blocking method,
And the rib cage inside the [point A] is shape like a heart upside down and the pelvic bone is shape like a butterfly and it found inside the [point B] with that we can draw subject very easy use this principal as a guideline.
[Note: the torso can be drawing using the common things around us like the pillar, and stack of box's]

***
[Note that when we are drawing the hands either back or front, we should avoid draw them straight because the are not straight but from the elbow tilted a little]
***
***
[Note that the legs are not draw straight they are curve from the pelvic bone down to the toes, so avoid drawing them straight]
***
Highlights★ CSP has various figure poses already made that are on their assets store, So you can try any of them on.
Now that we now have the proper understand of anatomy, we can now move to the next part which is the
Use of skeleton foundation
***
***
After we are done we can then take off the skeleton blocking by making it invisible.
We should take note, whereas if we are slow, Not only does it mean our drawing would have to been pose for hours on end, but it also means you can cut out [hesitancy] from our drawing practice. Hesitancy in sketches can make an image feel static, slow and time consuming. But if we are able to draw with out been too concern of the lines and with we have having a good anatomy understanding, we will have a good results [as we can see with the male and female ballerina dancers and the mermaid].
With our anatomy understanding, we will notice the various bending especially for the pelvic bone and limbs as shown below.

With we now fully understanding the human entire body anatomy, we can now move to the next aspect of the tutorial.
Ways for dynamic posing composition
***
The body can sometimes bend dynamically into shapes and sometimes letters.
***
***
[notice how the various figure when their body is grid have different expression like for the left figure the grid is like a "normal net" while for the right the grid is like a "moving net" in (motion)]
In order to get a good dimension of the character perspective [Foreshortening] is the right expression, because Foreshortening promote the subjects appear and also help makes the subject bother by bringing it closer to the camera, changing the depth and proportions of the subject within each scene.
And for better display of the motion of our subject there is an effect which we will later talk about called speed lines that we can use to detail the subject or any moving thing for that matter,
The expression of effects for the third figure [fazing] is not a motions effect but the effect for the second figure [moving action] which is the speed line effect is the right and best effect for expressing movement as shown by the subject below.
◾Perspective
***
***
The arrow shows the out come of the hit by the other subject and how the perspective layout help add to the scenes.
***
When ever artist put his or her heart into their art, they results always shows it.
***
Research for real life photo Reference poses
***
It is also recommendable to use people closer to you like friends who like performing, take photos of them in extreme foreshortening or low or high [camera angles] to get a sense of how the body proportions or advances in perspective.
Ways to stitch up a new pose from existing poses
***
Advantages of effect in a background (within CSP)
***
***
***
***
With the appearing like this,

***

Then have this as our finishing set.

***
***
Advantages of a decisive and exaggerate lines of action
***
[Note the line are the indicated red colour line pass the body of the subject, the are exaggerated lines which help in balance of figure]
***
Finishing pointers for draw daring dynamic action pose
***
We can also Afterimages to show the viewers the movement of the subject,
After are use to show the motion of the subject like where the were before moving to their presents position.
When we are talking about dynamic action poses proper, we are having various expression like dancing, running and so much more, but when we are talking about daring dynamic action poses they pose has to have potential, proportion, tension, energy and so much more,
Take This three for example
This example points out the one subject is invade and the other is defending with the need display energy and impart.
While for this second one the two subject are fighting each other but they are both in an attacking stance with the expectations of dealing a deadly attack to the other opponent.
For an event to be daring the out come of an event needs to be unexpected and this can be seen in this two subject.
Lastly, let's not forget the important of Foreshortening and the usefulness of the different layers,
Which as a digital art, we have to learn how to better use it to our advantage.
◾Who is the alpha male?!
This main illustration we choose out of the other because I feel it better display daring dynamic action pose with unexpected events and to draw this, we start by open a canvas on CSP [clip studio paint], then create layer as the drawing is divided into steps,
Step 1 (Draw the landscape),
Step 2 (Rough sketch the first subject),
Step 3 (Rough sketch the second subject),
Step 4 (draw the lineart for the second subject),
Step 5 (draw the lineart for the first subject),
Step 6 (make them all visible),
Step 7, we click on 1, create the two effect layer which is green and blue, then we can use 4 to adjust 5 by clicking the [control points] 6,
And for the finishing touches, I click on 1, a display board will be display, then we select 2 and change 3 to 5,
Now we are done with our daring dynamic fighting pose.
Conclusion
I hope you have a lot of fun creating these sketches. My advice to everyone reader and I myself also do it, it is to find time to practice because practice make perfect, And practice various dynamic poses from different angles, for now I will be signing off bye.
