I see a lot of people who know how to draw who always start with that sort of bare bones skeleton outline version first. Was that learned in school, or from a learning to draw book, or what?

Also how do you make one? :(

Kind of both. You naturally pick up how to draw them after so long, I guess...

I have no fucking clue; I'm still trying to figure out the type that actually helps me to draw a person.

It's just like giving yourself the basic silhouette/shape of what you're gonna do.

I just make that bitch up as I go along.

Here's how I did it. It's retarded and it shows if not extenuates how retarded my human figures turn out to be.

Shitty cylinders/pipes > Decent stick figures > Less shitty cylinders/pipes > Blob body segments following golden ratio (sort of) > Silhouettes > Decent cylinders/pipes + Outline shape.

I don't use skeletons at all unless I am planning on doing a particularly tricky pose or something... Otherwise I just draw the entire thing out in one go.

I make block and ball skeletons, don't usually need to though

Ball heads and stick arms and legs.

I used to learn to draw cylinders and balls first, but I usually ended up making limbs too thick. Then I started out drawing the whole thing without a skeleton, which usually ended up in things being really out unnatural. Over the years though I've found it best to start off using a skeleton, adding muscles, skin, and clothes over it in layers.

Why/how muscles?

>>187532
I'm actually not really that good with muscles, all I can really do are the major ones like pectorals, biceps, and glutes. For most parts of the body I just skip that step and go straight for the skin and clothes. But adding muscles helps me get a feel of the underlying structure of the body so I can properly make clothes and the like feel like it's receding into space or coming out where appropriate.

a mix of both, although school does help greatly. As long as you get the proportions right in the skeleton/guidelines, you should be able to slowly adjust into something a bit more to your taste.

i don't really know why i posted this in this thread, i was going to draw something without using skeletons at all, and had to fall back on old habits because it was looking like crap :(

she was going to be a space pirate, but wound up a bellhop

i guess the only difference in outfit is a cape

I love how the animations speeds are too fast, way too fast, or three varieties of too slow.

Doodle that got way out of hand. Not very related to the thread but I fucked around a tad with different methods of drawing the basic head shape, so...
I'm still insanely a novice at this shit.

Also, I think she's the lovechild of Cracky-chan and Haruko. D:

Ugly dogface bitch. Hahaha.

And also, yes, the eyes.
Oh hell, they do look pretty Nadesico.
