Up until now, to ease myself into drawing realistic people i've been using the Random Pose Generator on posemaniacs to allow myself time to get the frame done, block it out and then outline it.
This leaves me with nice looking studies!
Though from the sketchbooks i've seen, a fair few artists do the 30 second ones.
From the description underneath it, it's all about getting the right side of the brain fired up.
Yet also from what I see, 30 seconds is basically just enough time to scribble out the basic character mesh. As i'm new to anatomy in general, my test runs result in characters missing arms/legs etc if they're in an interesting pose which requires a few moments to figure out how to tackle.
Since i'm still restraining myself to making the outcome look proportionally and perspectively (is that a word?) sound.
I'd guess the 30 second poses are to fire the right side of the brain up primarily? Though I guess being able to draw a basic character mesh in a matter of seconds is infinitly handy at the best of times.
Or am I just looking at it the wrong way?
I shall continue on with the Random Poses til i'm a bit more comfortable methinks. But if it inevitably helps leaps and bounds, then I shall mess about with a few pages of 30 second drawings mixed in.
