Anatomically incorrect

Description

Argh. Unfortunately, the actual fullview of this pic can only be shown if you download the pic. *Hiss*

I am currently in a state of being artistically-unproductive. So in the effort of trying to improve myself and kick-start my creative engine, I began thinking of what I'm bad at. I've been randomly doodling pictures of people and realize how... I can't draw people's pose with ease. Mostly because it did not look anatomically correct...

Then I realize... what if I deliberately drew something that is NOT anatomically correct? I mean, some good artists do that sort, adds originality to what they draw.

So I spent last night drawing such characters. I was not used to this way of drawing, but I felt more at ease, because there's no pressure in "getting-it-right". And so starting from the left, I present to you;

:bulletgreen: Betty: Ok, maybe this was relatively anatomically correct. The one thing that might not be too correct would be her... heheh, hips and legs. I was shooting for the exaggeration of the 'Hourglass' figure. She's most likely one of those high-society ladies.

:bulletgreen: The Critic: The Critic is the man who never says anything nice. Give him a beautiful diamond and he'll critique on how uneven the shape is. All talk but no action. The main emphasis are his huge feet; indicating "heavy-feet", the type that hardly moves to act or help.

:bulletgreen: Gossiping Housewife: The most notable feature is the size of her mouth. :XD: With small ears and eyes, she's bound to miss a detail or two. She makes it up by throwing in her speculations and spreading and discussing rumours. There's barely a time where she has nothing to say.

:bulletgreen: The Snob: The type that we'd all dislike. His nose is high in the air, as though he's not the same level as you. He wears relatively neat and is skinny as a rail. He could either be a high-society man, or an arrogant maitre-d in a high-class restaurant. :XD:

:bulletgreen: Jodie: This one is my favourite! She has large hips and legs but very small feet. The type that loves food and doesn't care how much that adds to her width. Despite her size, she's big-hearted, has a happy face. Everytime she comes into office as the secretary, she's always carrying in some food, enough helping to share with colleagues.

:bulletgreen: Bodybuilder: Huge torso, HUGE arms, but much, much smaller legs. He's the type that can pack a REALLY big punch, but he's not fast on his feet. Not the type to mess with.

:bulletgreen: The Banker: This one would hardly resemble a human if it weren't for his face and clothes. :XD: His general size is like that of a eggplant, with shorter, thinner legs. The minute I drew him, it just struck to me that he's a banker.

:bulletgreen: The Slim Woman in Red: The elegant sort of woman, and also inhumanly thin. Definitely not the type that's voluptous.

:bulletgreen: The Honest Office-Worker: Exactly as how he's called. His general size is 'boxed' and straight. He's the hard-working everyday office worker, follows the rules as straight as an arrow.

:bulletgreen: Tomato-head Boy: Hahah, his head really does resemble a tomato, does it not? :XD: I'm playing with the typical size of cartoon-children, where the head is generally much bigger than the rest of the body.

:bulletgreen: Shy girl: Skinny, small and with a triangular face. Nothing much that can be said of her, since she's such a shy little thing. ^^;


I must admit, this was quite refreshing to try. I doubt if I would ever draw in this style ever again, but let us see what the future holds. ;)


All characters belong to me!!!

Looking back on this I just realized the gossip character reminds me of the art style of Hitoshi Iwaaki XD He normally does standard Serious Anime faces but then whenever there's a comedy moment everyone gets a giant mouth leaning off to the left with a "What you say??" surprised expression XD And then later he had a guy whose jaw was possessed by an alien as an excuse to do this all the time XD [link]
