Awesome dude! I'm glad you went for it, don't get discouraged if you didn't get it 100% right at first, keep trying.


A lot of people's problem when they start is that they see all this visual information, all these details, and complicated shapes, and they don't know where to begin. Whats important in the beginning is fitting together the big shapes- the head, the ribcage+pelvis, and the limbs. Once you get those right, everything else just falls in to place.


Heres a painter where I broke down the original drawing, and then put those same shapes on top of your drawing.






Focus on step 1 and step 2 for now, get those big simple shapes in the correct spots, then add details like the shoulder pads, eyes, nose, boots, etc. later, once your sure you have a solid foundation.


Maybe give it another go and start with the line of action, the sphere, the bean, and the cylanders.

it just really confused me because i couldn't get the arm in the right place, it all looked smooshed :c

i'll keep trying JUST the character and get it down

Yea, another problem is that you picked a tough reference image, look how his limbs are all squashed into his body and foreshortened.. not great for learning.


A better choice might be a character from a movie or cartoon you like that is making a big action, like punching or kicking. That way it's much to separate those big parts so you don't have to draw them on top of each other.


Also when your practicing, it's good to separate characters from environments for now until you have them both down and you can fit them together.

would you happen to know of a better reference with about the same art style?

That reference is good, see if you can do just the regular standing pose. Also the character is designed much better than in the previous reference. The same shapes hold true, line of action, sphere, bean, cylanders.

Give it a go bro.

still abit difficult for me to draw the shapes in course with theirs for a basic outline or w.e

its getting a bit easier i guess.
