Jerry's "S" shapes

Hi everybody!
I've been drawing some Jerrys from the model sheets that John put in one of the last posts.

There's a thing that I do a lot to try to achieve the flow that this poses have, and that is: The "S" lines... or shapes... I don't know, haha. Well, I'm gonna try to explain this, but first, the checks:


This drawing is too large, it seems that I stretched Jerry.
The line of action is too strong than the original drawing, which is more subtle.
The head is too small and has a more egg-shaped form.
The right foot has a different angle than the original drawing.



This was a more accurate pose.
The line of action has to be more marked, more strong.
I think the head is good, but some features are wrong, like eyebrows and ears
The line of action makes the whole body looks like it's moved to the right.



I think this line of action is good but I made the body to large
In the head, some features have to go more above, like the eyes and cheeks.

This is an interesting pose
My line of action was good but I put the feet in the wrong place. I didn't take atention to the negative space between the arm and the leg.
I made the body more thin.



The head is very interesting. The nose doesn't follow the LOA from the head, is a little more turned to the right. Jerry has a grimace that pushes all this part up to the right, that's why his cheek is so marked also




The original drawing has a great flow
My head is more turned down
The left arm is wrong too.

Now comes the part of the "S"


I've noticed that the whole body has many S lines, I think that this is what makes them flow so well.
In this pose the but is connected with the leg by an S line, that is what that part flow so good, so when I made this poses I look every S line to make them flow better.

In this pose, the line of action it's also an S line. The but is connected with the arm, so all the body flow through this line.

I hope I made this thing clear, hehe
maybe I'm crazy but I see the fucking "S"!!!!

  3. yes.. this "S" line moves the head in a different angle from the body... and seens that the pose gets more natural.
