I'grand even so a beginner when information technology comes to cartoon, and I'm not at a indicate where I can depict right out of my caput, or mentally turn a reference so that it matches up with what I'm trying to draw. In other words, unless I take someone to hold my hand through the entire thing, I can't draw a given pose or gesture unless I have an exact match of what I'thousand trying to draw. Even for unproblematic poses, you'd be amazed at how difficult this is. Even googling "sitting on bed profile" has turned up mode more possibilities than I e'er could have imagined, and none of them are what I'm looking for.
What practise you do when this happens? Practise y'all just try to draw it yourself, and hope that information technology works out? Exercise you look for something close, and describe that instead? Do you requite up?
I experience like there's something else I'grand missing that I should be doing.
Yous take a bed. You have a you. You probably have a phone photographic camera. So y'all either need a tripod or someone to hold the camera and you're all ready for the classic creative person play tricks of existence your own model.
My body type is completely different from that of the character I'm trying to draw. I'm short and fat, he'south tall and thin. I tin can't actually *see* my body the way I would see his; there's too much fat in the way.
ETA: Sorry, I don't mean to be difficult. I have tried the method you suggested earlier, and I recall I as well had problem because, well, I'm going for a nude drawing, and I...wearable habiliment. I kind of have to, because the only people I have to take my moving picture are my parents. Only that would indeed assistance with at least posture and proportions, since those tend to be the same no matter what your body type is.
That was nonetheless very helpful, so thank you! I'll effort to remember that adjacent time. For now, I really did manage to notice a expert drawing.

It'south not a archetype trick because information technology works for every character. But information technology gets you an actual human being in the pose you imagine. And it'southward really pretty piece of cake to imagine poses that are physically difficult, or that don't brand sense in the setting, or that aren't possible to hold for equally long equally would make sense.
It lets you check if the idea is a sound one.
If information technology is a expert idea, and so you can decide what to do next to pursue it.
And yeah, I'm only just starting to be able to adjust body types. It takes a lot of practice for that to get easy I call up. But information technology's a lot easier than making up lighting or making up a pose from scratch. Life would be a lot cooler if I could draw myself the body I want.
I try to non imagine a verbal pose, I try to have a vage idea, and then, when i go look for a reference, information technology's easier to find one I like, likewise, don't use just one reference, apply many, like, ane for the body type, one for the pose, one for the background. And pinterest is amazing when it comes to references, cheque it out!

Tip one with Googling: Try dissimilar words, Mayhap word 'Bed' isn't needed and just look upward sitting profile.
Less words the better. Try culling words for the wait in mind, like reclining, kneeling, leaning, etc. Instead of Profile endeavour side view or even silhouette.
Tip two if yous have a Photoshop like plan. Just merge multiple photos into one. Have the head yous like from one and the legs from some other and arms from a third.
If no photoshop, impress them out and play paste together.
Tip three, notice Royalty complimentary for commercial use Stock Images sites, Some users on DA are such, and some websites are such database. I I tin can think of is morguefile.com by Artists for Artists. (all these options do not have equally good keywords as google then less or alternatives more than important hither). And then this requires more patience and browsing.
Tip four, try a 3d modeling programme for the pose yous desire. There are some free ones and there is a learning curve. Design Doll I observe pretty like shooting fish in a barrel to employ in comparison to other 3d fine art programs and information technology's complimentary though it does have pay options but I find them unneccessary. Only discovered this in browser 3d for costless chosen Only Sketch Me.
Or alternatively, pay the dough for toy model (or live model) that y'all can pose, skilful ones are pricy. I reccomend gummy bones. I had recieved mine this year and they are working hard to fufill all orders right now.
Later when I'm not at work, I'll give an example of how yous can translate a pose from different body sizes. So it'll be posted later on.
So starting time I highly reccommend this DA nautical chart (cc Phobos-Romulus) to get over Female person and Male body types how to add fat vs muscles.
If you're taking a model with more weight and wish to slim, master way is to look for the bone landmarks. That shows where their cadre structure is. From there you simply trim or add every bit you similar. Example using this (cc Senshistock)
Calculation Fat to a thinner model is merely knowing which areas tend to build up fat get-go on the human body. Using another image from SenshiStock cc
Same thing can be done with muscle tone. That I feel is usually more obvious to people.
Hope this helps some.
If I were to pitch in my perspective here......
Don't stunt yourself with but drawing from photos. Make sure you lot put in some time for free cartoon poses without reference. Andrew Loomis really talks about this. This website is great simply it won't give you everything you need to know when drawing, it should merely serve equally a stepping off indicate so that you lot can keep yourself grounded with solid form.
The bespeak of reference is to refer to it. If y'all merely describe from photos than you will oftentimes run across this very same trouble over and over. The cyberspace is abundant but information technology won't have everything you lot're looking for.
I empathize that it may feel awkward to draw without reference at commencement, just you won't be able to retrieve the human form as well otherwise. Get loose and try to sympathise these shapes in your own manner. Next time yous look at a reference photograph, endeavour to understand the fundamental shapes that arrive up and encounter if you can manipulate them into your ain pose. This is how characters and stories are made. Don't get caught up in copying what'south already at that place.
