Tutorial on drawing techniques for shoulders of characters,The shoulder is an important part that connects the neck, chest and back. However, its structure is also complex, and the freely moving arms make them difficult to draw. Although understanding the structure is very important, if you use some shapes, it can also be a shortcut. If you remember it well, you can conquer the shoulders, the most difficult part of the upper body!
By the way, I would like to recommend that you search for: Light Class, or download the Light Class APP. There are many painting courses on the Light Class website, and there is also a Devil’s Special Training Class. You can challenge the Devil’s Special Training Class, and many people learn from it. The effects are very good!
[Structure of the Shoulder] The reason why the shoulder is complex and difficult to draw is because it is connected to various parts of the upper body such as the neck, chest, and back, and they are complexly combined.
However, in contrast, the deltoid muscles (shoulder muscles) rarely change their shape, no matter what movement they perform. Therefore, by writing down the shape of the deltoid muscle, you can draw it from any angle, and the chances of giving people headaches will be reduced in terms of the subtle structure and regularity of movements.
[Tips for drawing shoulders: Commemorating the memory of the deltoid circle] As the name suggests, the deltoid looks like a triangle when viewed from the front, but just as it has a deformed hemispherical shape, like a spoon (the pointed part in the front). It has a slightly difficult shape, but if you remember, let’s remember to quickly understand the structure of the shoulder.
[How to draw shoulders] When drawing shoulders, let us first complete the drawing of the body and feet. It’s difficult to draw the torso etc. if it’s blocked by the shoulders and arms. Start by drawing a rough outline of the shoulders after completing the other drawing. Draw the outline of the shoulders with lines, connecting the lines.
Although it is easy to draw, it is important to adjust the size and proportion of the deltoid muscle, which is the criterion for determining shoulder width and arm thickness. Check the proportions and do not draw them randomly. The ratio of deltoid muscle to shoulder width is 1:2 respectively from the center. In the case of men, there is no problem even if the deltoid muscles are slightly larger.
[The connection between the clavicle and shoulders] When drawing a character with raised arms, people who have a sense of disharmony with their shoulders may be due to the position of the clavicle.
The clavicle, humerus and scapula are connected. When you raise your arms to lift your shoulders, the clavicle should also rise accordingly. If you only draw the arm raised, you will see the shoulder dislocated, so be careful.
In addition, when the clavicle is lifted upward, the position of the line stretches sideways and the drawing often collapses. Since this also seems to dislocate the character’s shoulders, draw a vertical line next to the shoulder line and move the clavicle line from that.
Learning to draw is not an easy task, so everyone must work hard to persevere and work hard to overcome various difficulties! Come on~! Roses given to others have lingering fragrance in their hands. I wish you good luck in your life. If you find it useful, please like and forward it. Thank you^_^!
