@MitchLeeuwe Really like your breakdowns. You do a really great job of adding just the right amount of text to clue people in that might not be as savvy
@Chumwizards Thanks! I also believe learning to draw is alo mostly just doing :)
@MitchLeeuwe As someone who is in the process of trying to design my own original cast of characters and is still struggling with design philosophy, this helps a lot.
@theDomJenkins Thanks! Thats great
@MitchLeeuwe Love this! Fully agree on the chicken one. Making designs more dynamic and not overly simplistic is a great strat! The amount of realism can depend on the person's style and how abstract they wanna go, but as a basis these are great!
@JadenBartley3 Thanks! Also depends on what it is for. For exemple simpsons or a disney movie etc
@MitchLeeuwe Twitter artists will just post decades of artistic experience for free without asking for anything in return
@MitchLeeuwe So cool and magnificently done. Thank you!
