EMPOWERED vol.9 panel with separate figure rough
🕑 Added 2019-05-08 11:40:35 +0000 UTCFrom my phone's camera roll circa 2014, above is a panel from Empowered vol. 9, along with a rough for the Ninjette figure. This shows the importance of working out a difficult pose fully as a separate rough before inserting it into a space where much of the figure will be obscured. (I call that "drawing through," but there's probably a better way to sum up the concept.)
Below is another example of this approach from the same page, this time with a Ninjette figure that wound up mostly obscured by how the panel was cropped.
See, you can often go go astray when drawing a cut-off pose like this if you don't sketch the fuller figure outside the panel's borders.

I love that you care enough to go this extra length, it really does make a difference.

I think the first time I saw something similar to this was a Frank Cho picture of Brandy in the bathtub if I remember correctly. To this day I keep things like that/this in mind when drawing a similar angle or perspective even if I'm not planning on using the entirety of the image. :) Random: I like how her toe is pointing upwards in the rough. Seeing little things like that is what I was eager to see when you signed up for Patreon. :3
