How does the line of action work on 4-legged creatures? As I was trying it out it seemed like they would need 2 lines in some cases to get the right kind of pose that I was going for.. Or is the line of action just the most important line in the pose of the animal eg. the line of front part of the animal, or the spine? Or should different parts have their own lines of action that would both/all support the gesture?
Ps. I watched yesterday and today the lessons from 2-01 to 3-01.
Sometimes animals (and even humans) may need more than one line, but there’s always one that’s most important (the secondary line will be in a supporting role). The main line usually follows the spine; Sometimes it ends at the head, sometimes at the arms or legs. If you email me your drawing, I’ll post it on the blog with my notes.
A common mistake when I draw my storyboards is that I rarely use Anticipation poses, because I know what I’m going to do in the scene. Now I see is almost an obligation. 😀
