Random entry: theme = limbs

13 years ago

I have a picture from my holiday in Portugal, and my legs look reallllly odd.

I have a pointy knee and my muscle looks like it has a tumour. It can't be THAT unusual, but I haven't particularly noticed it on anyone else before. I need it to be summer so I can look at everyone's legs 8D

See for yourself: http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y2.....nt=Image70.jpg

This is brought up after a conversation yesterday, when a certain Bug commented on how all my characters seem to be able to fold like pretzels.

Has anyone else noticed it? I am a very bendy person, and can happily sit in ways other people say looks painful, but is actually pretty comfy.

I NEED TO STUDY PEOPLE TO FIND OUT WHAT A NORMAL PERSON CAN DOOOOOO

Sheesh.

It's not just my legs either. My spine is pretty flexi, and I hyperextend my arms. I don't get why most can't do what I do. Hell I didn't realise my arms were odd too till about a year ago when my housemate pointed it out.

I am a defected model ; 3 ;

If I am wearing shoes I can keep my foot there without holding it up; I dont have enough strength though to hook myself with feet alone. I shall practise this *_*

What's wrong with being bendy? I also hear from my friends how I can sit comfortably in some positions, but it is comfortable XD
wut >_> I can only reach my side but not my ribs.

Not saying anything is wrong c: Just how some poses and leg positions I draw are uncomfortable for others....just wondering where I should draw the line at really 8D

I think you should continue as normal and draw what you think is comfortable. It's your art and if it's comfortable for you why not include it in your art. It is your unique style at least. Imo I wouldn't change anything. Your art is good as it is :3

Me either! I was showing Jason my arms one day and he was like "WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR ARMS!?!" Gee, thanks xD

I then asked my brother one day "Hey, look *stretches arms out* Is this we-" and he interrupted with "HOLY SHIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!"

;_; LOL

LMFAO YES!!!!

I just....my mind boggles as to what lets us do it, and why other people struggle so much @_@ I want to try pulling some people's arms apart to see if they REALLY can't....

Drawer of cute girls

Hahaha. That sounds like a not good idea xP

I can't quite pull my leg up as far as you can, but very close! I'd be more flexible, but I carry a lot of stress in my muscles, especially the legs. I can sit in weird poses, but cant touch my toes xP Massage my legs a little though, then I can!

xD That's fine, my legs are weirdly shaped too. I have extremely flexible arms and my elbows are just plain awkward. I can actually push them up in a loose < shape and bend my fingers back to touch my wrist. My spine is shit, so I usually sit with an S curve... the most comfortable poses for me to hold involve my legs tucked under me, leaned against the arm rest, head tilted. My chiropractor haaaates my posture, but it hurts if I sit straight :c

:D weird sister

I know the pose you mean. Is comfy -3- I am quite lucky and haven't had to go to a chiropractor, but every now and then my back will ache like nobody's buisness. A good L shape bend backwards clunks it back into place I find XD

I can generally flex my limbs further than the average person, too. If you want an effective way to study the average abilities of the human skeleton and muscle system, Amazon and eBay generally have books you can find by searching "anatomy for artists" for extremely cheap. I don't remember the title of the one I ended up getting, but it was only US$4.00 and chocked full of diagrams of skeletal and bone systems, as well as crap tons of models in various poses to highlight the extremes of... bendiness?

Chandraken ~chandraken

OP

It's a good idea, and I do need more references. I just can't afford to buy nice things right now XD

Next best thing: Pinups. Pinup girls are usually stretched to extremes to show off curves and form, and sensuality to boot. They actually make for pretty good study material, if you don't mind starring at them.

Protip: Don't stare at them in public places XD

That is something you say. I want to get serious with drawing and I think in the long run it couldn't be bad to have some books about anatomy and maybe about shadows and lights. It is always annoying in the beginning to search references for so many things when you are inexperienced. I may have to look for a few good books on that.

There are also a nice supply of artist anatomy books for animals available for pretty cheap.
