DRAWING MANGA BOYS
This is a good dynamic action pose, where the hand is clutching toward the viewer
with an arm bent at the elbow. It involves foreshortening, as the forearm is pointing
horizontally toward you, rendering it as an oval shape behind the hand.gRASPINg AT YOU
Slightly overlap two ovals,
then draw a third a little
distance away. This is the
shoulder joint. Draw a line
to attach this to one of the
ovals: this is the foreshort-
ened lower arm.
Add an ellipse to
create the pad of the
thumb, and join this
to the hand with two
curved lines.
Draw four circles along the edge
of the oval: these are the first
finger joints. Now create the two
upper joints of each finger: these
are roughly equal in length when
viewed from this angle.Ink the main lines,
including the creases
around the top joint of
each finger and under
the pad of the thumb.
