A preview of my contribution to the sibzine! Of course I had to draw the Sand Sibs
If I had a nickel for every time I clicked on a fic thinking it was a sickfic, only for it to progress into mpreg, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's funny that it's happened twice

let’s do something unethical together, just the two of us. for fun.
Hi! I really admire your compositions and the way you frame characters in your artworks and was wondering about your process in how you make characters feel so fluid and dynamic when interacting with environments! :D
Sorry for the wait! Thank you so much, I hope you'll not be too disappointed by my answer (づ_ど)
I always sketch with a space in mind, where characters and backgrounds are linked like I always got perspective lines in my head. (Because to do perspective: you need parallel lines. A human body already does parallel lines: the shoulders, pelvis, feet on the ground...) So If I need to add a background, it's already set up for if this makes sense?
(+ greys and done tada🎶)
So that's for structure... and for composition... Basically, I look at what artists/shows/movies I like do and I ... analyze them and steal their process? No ok let's write a longer answer, useful I hope, bellow:
First I learn by tracing a LOT (of course I don't post theses, theses are a way for me to actively watch, like taking notes from a class) Basically I see a shoot, animation I like? I save it and analyze it. Usually really messy, Theses are things I keep to myself and I usually do them as warm-up or when too tired to draw

Theses are really lame but I hope you see the concept (,,>﹏<,,) And basically I learned this from Ethan becker, what can I say, I understood nothing and his whole channel unlocked my dumb brain so....
Other artists I learned from
...and then I just google the names in the credits of the shows I like and look for their instagram and process XD Book-wise, every school will recommend you this one and I've got to say I read it twice without getting it so it's okay to start with online tutos haha also apparently here is a linkkkkkonarchiveeeee
Also of course the small tips of @/grizandnorm https://grizandnorm.tumblr.com/post/86312461308/tuesday-tips-types-of-shots-and-what-they-say
and @/eyecager https://www.eyecager.art/resources
are a good way to start!!!
Overall... just study, compare, trace and then hide the ref and draw it free, the compare again, and at some point, your brain will generate himself the cool framing you see v_v Don't trust your eyes, the cool shoots and perspective are always more exaggerated than you think.
I hope my rambling was useful!
