Anatomy help

[Uglyographer]

Hey guys,

Burning the midnight oil. Working on a tattoo for a friend. He wants a catholic school girl knife fight. I think he was inspired by Alexisonfire cd cover. But that's neither here nor there. I'm no pro and my style usually doesn't dictate that the anatomy be perfect, but being that this is going on someone's body, you know, permanently, I felt inclined to seek out some helpful advice. If anyone has a minute to check out what I working with, I would truly appreciate it. Especially the hands...and the feet...and the legs (ugh).

Um...

I don't think the anatomy is really all that bad. The only thing I see is that the head of the girl on the left looks a little big and the skirt of the girl on the right doesn't quite seem to extend across the entire left leg...that's about it. Also, they don't really register as being Catholic school girls, but I'm sure you'll take care of that in the finished product.

Have you showed it to your friend? If so, does he like it so far? Where's he planning on putting it?

Cool Derek. Will have to work out the identities of the catholic school girls. Will look at more reference.

Thanks

the girl on the left is badass...nice gesture, nice snappy quality, I wouldn't say the heads are too big because this sort of stylization usually requires that, exaggeration is good. The 2nd girl is too static, t'slike she doesn't even care she's about to get stabbed, it's mainly her shoulders/arms, they should be more dynamic... her legs are good...on the first girl, emphasize the points of the ribcage more, when she stretches her front like that, her ribcage points out...try it, just sharpen some lines around there to add the extra tension. Anyway, fix crouching girl's torso, it's the only part that's bringing this down, the rest looks great!

Nice... The only thing I can add to what the others have stated is that the square shoulders of the girl on the right is making her pose less dynamic. Her right arm and her right leg is already parallel to the ground -- try changing their poses and break up the visual monotony. Don't forget to show us your progression! :)

Hello hello.

I reworked the parts you guys pointed out. Thanks so much for your input. Here's where it's at as of right now.

Nicely done dude; it's much more dynamic.
