Urban Characters

[ndchristie]

I was going to put a sweet post together but i got called out to meet soem friends so pretend there's a well-worded and comprehensive explanation of how to make the legs and perspective work...

forgot to mention that i also don't know a whole lot of DJs that go with both ears covered, but then most of the one i meet are just kids in their early 20's with some basic setups playing at house parties or bad clubs.  i'm sure you could have both ears on if you were good at it...

If you're referring to both ears or just one, it depends on style and what you're doing. Both are good. I mostly work with both ears for the match, then go to one ear prior to the mixing in. I don't know what beat jugglers do, but I've also seen both I believe.

I'm sure the legs could be drawn properly so they weren't under neath the table, but since you don't seem them I'm not sure I need to.
I may end up sliding him to the left so he's standing a little bit back from it.


Was also thinking of like a wall set up for the graffiti dude, but since the walls were made after they don't really line up at all.

hint: the table can be made taller to create a new, lower ground plane

you like making the legs shorter than they are supposed to be to begin with, and to create characters with a more playful/dynamic idea of what is balanced or not, but when you cover them up, the viewer has no way of knowing this and it just ends up looking like the table was drawn the wrong size.  i think it need 16-24 pixels before i'm at all convinced he's in a reasonable pose

Yours lack one bold epic graffiti flow, and instead have a bunch of confused little ones.

I don't see a need to have ONE super awesome awooshy line, but you've gotta keep the lines you have swooshy and nice still!



Sorry for crappiness but it gets the point across, which is all i want to achieve O:

For some reason I never think about flow of the entire piece.
I have still much to learn.

Jad that is most exellent.
The hair, and overall flow is just awesome thank you.

As for Rydin's post about the flow of the graff dude, the motion is going down.
And arching back.
It's more like the paint is silly string but like 3D huge blocky silly string.
