Mt. Lady from My Hero Academia. For fun I tried to draw her holding Mineta while in her giant form, but I don’t think I got the pose quite right… I’ve put in all the time I can spend on this today though, so it is what it is.

    Where I think you messed up is that the angle and size of the hand doesn’t really line up with the arm, makes it look disjointed. I think you did a good job tho! It did take me a minute to process that was Mineta, tho – thought I was looking at a foot at first (>//w//<)

      His head does kind of look like a foot… 😛️

      I went through a lot of attempts with the poses and I just couldn’t quite get it right. Some of my layout attempts were like this earlier on:

      Those were drafts 16 and 18 respectively. I gave up and posted it when I got to draft 38… 🤷️

      I should probably just do the math properly if I try a pose like this again instead of trying to eyeball it.

        One thing I’ve seen some artists do is take a picture of themselves in the pose they want so they can get the anatomy right for something like this. It does add a small layer of complexity but I think most people nowadays have a phone camera that can be set on a timer so the main question is how much time do you devote to posing yourself rather than drawing?

        I’m not really sure if that’s helpful or just rambling.

          I did try standing in front of a mirror; probably should’ve plugged in my webcam and taken a picture with that instead though…

          Something for next time I guess.
