Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the art.
how do you draw like real quick motion?? like what ps effects do you use n do you have any tips? your drawings are amazing I love them sm
Thanks so much !
WELL !! Gesture drawing is the best way to go about drawing ACTION in my opinion and I usually donāt really like to use many Photoshop effects unless itās for making things GLOW but if its for motion sometimes I like to use theĀ āblur/Blendingā tool to give action a look as if its going so fast the camera canāt catch it! (usually for joke purposes) but personally I like usingĀ āsmearsā more if Iām doing a serious drawing because I prefer them and love the way they look!Ā
hereās an example of using the 2:Ā
starting with gesture drawing to get the main lines of action and how the drawing will move
hereās the pose
(ignore the nasty foot cause its just there as a guide!) BECAUSE the leg is the MAIN part of the body that is moving, it will be the part of the body I want toĀ āsmearā or blur.Ā
there are SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF SMEARS you can use but this is the one Iāve gone with here ^ all the lines follow the motion in which the legs is moving and the longer end shows which direction itās coming from.
NOW if i wanted to do aĀ āblurā effect: I select theĀ āblending toolā in photoshop and I set the strength so not very high (it depends on theĀ āeffectā you want like if its higher it blends ALOT to the point of it being invisible whereas a low strength blurs it a little to make it look blurry but youāre still able to see the action)
I usually blur it in the direction I imagine the resistance is hitting the body part. in my opinion I donāt very much like how this looks compared to the smear BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS on the context or what youāre trying to get acrossĀ
for example if its for joke purposes a BLUR can make an image look like its moving very fast that itās just absurd or eluding to a punch line:
e.g:
Ā Glimmerās like NYOOM!
(DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT GOOD AT PHOTOSHOP SO IF THERE IS LIKE A FEATURE THAT MAKES THAT BLURRY EFFECT AUTOMATICALLY PLEASE GO EASY ON ME FOR DOING IT MANUALLY)
ANYWAY if youāre having trouble drawing ACTION you should check out or do more Gesture drawing practice~ good luck and have fun!!
