So the picture is my OC Maren's nameless younger brother jumping on his back- him not expecting it, and another character Londun, he's just kinda watching them.
Though I am terrible with interactions like this, and will use references/mirrors the best I can but I dont think I can get this referenced in real life- not easily anyway.

I will attempt this one later sweatdrop

New subject-
going to be Maren, his younger brother, and Londun.
Maren and his younger brother are hugging, Londun is just kinda hanging out in the background I guess ^^'

So its still just the rough outline, but redlines and/or critique would be very much appreciated!

If it's an unexpected leap/catch, I would think they would be hunched over more to try to keep their center of gravity since there is now a large weight basically rushing at their back. Maybe a bit more like this?

I think the leg placement seems good even with the more forward upper body.

Yeah, would be nice if I had two people willing to try this, but the people living in my house wouldnt work so well sweatdrop

Im going to attempt this again later- when I have more skill for this- but Thanks : D
I will keep this in mind when I attempt it again. 3nodding

I did find a couple of reference photos, maybe they can help you out a bit when you do? The drawback is the leaper is obviously larger than a child.

True, but I can always make them smaller/use another reference to get the child's body the right size- and actually they are 13 and 15 so neither are all that big ^^'
Thanks a ton!

I can't draw men worth a damn, but there were a lot of mistakes with your girl >.<


but you did GREAT on the kid. i'd just raist the arm and shoulder higher. Or if you don't raise it higher, but the shoulder farther back.

The first major thing I noticed when I looked at the pic is that your oc's hand is the wrong way. You have a right hand on a left arm. I think you might need to shoerten all the arm lengths a little as well, and the torsos of the two taller guys. They have awkwardly long torsos and it doesn't really look right. The kid brother's proportions look like they're good thugh, so good job on that ^_^ Also, with the tall guy, the hand he has on....his hip? looks kinda wierd. Since his belly is showing, I'm assuming the shirt doesn't go that far down, yet it looks like he's got something pinched between his fingers, like he's pinching himself for some reason.

I will!
I will be trying to do some from life drawings, but I also have a busy schedule, will have to try and find something to draw at school, and at night mostly ^^'

Yeah, I started working on fixing the torso issue, its been twice now that I got this far and then noticed that issue, was upsetting.. I have no idea how I missed that earlier.. (I always seem to have at least one proportion issue ^^')
and I do backwards hands all the time, bad habbit sweatdrop

I havent done much with his hand, and his belly isnt showing, it looks like it is, but its just part of the shirt design.
(My clothing designs tend to be trial and error, I may try something and it end up ugly xd )

Thanks! : D
