It's just that few people have actually tried - so far I only found Glenn Villpu and Gottfreid Bammes doing that kind of study on animals. I'll be showing other little ideas and discoveries in future posts.Scalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139297550864844594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014345868566775209.post-86925315608286840172009-11-29T12:29:10.941-08:002009-11-29T12:29:10.941-08:00Oooh, I know, how about I post my reply here, wher...Oooh, I know, how about I post my reply here, where it actually matters! :P<br /><br />Ahhh, I've still got that Preston Blair book, and several of it's kindred, somewhere. For all the good it did me. :p<br /><br />An interesting thing about the LOA nodes from cartooning - they're all based on bipeds. Quadrupeds have, I believe, inherently more complicated motion.<br /><br />And, of course, animation of that style is about simplifying for effect!<br /><br />Still, I think it's a very valid way of looking at the art in life - finding the lines of motion, balance, momentum, weight... using THAT to define the dynamic of your image, then matching the anatomy to it.<br /><br />.... if that makes any sense. Babble.<br /><br />purty sketches. :)Stormdancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892598429369240817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014345868566775209.post-50557279089257025722009-11-29T10:01:24.735-08:002009-11-29T10:01:24.735-08:00interesting article, pretty handy to keep in mind ...interesting article, pretty handy to keep in mind when drawing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
