A set of brushes to quickly lay down some guide lines for a front-facing male character.
Instructions:
- It's recommended to use the size ratio provided below if you desire to keep the model atomically correct.
- Use the brushes on a vector layer and simplify the stroke to reduce the amount of vector points in the lines. Some lines may need to be shortened upon editing them.
- Apply points on the collar bone, below the ribcage, elbows, and knees. Wrists and ankles are optional. Make sure they are angled points instead of round.
- Adjust the pose however you like.
Brush size Ratios:
- Head: 5
- Torso: 10
- Arms: 4
- Legs: 6 or 6.3
Tips:
- You will need to draw over the guide line layers to account for muscular changes in the body, body shapes, and angles. It's best to lower the opacity of your guideline layer, make a new one of the same color, and draw your adjustments.
- Use a soft color like the blue in the brush icons instead of black. It helps keeping track of your art and it's easy on the eyes.
- If you are making a rubber-hose kind of character or making smear frames for animation, you can make your points round.
- You can change the sizes however you please. Use the Object tool if your layer is still a vector one.
